The Saurashtra region of Gujarat has a history of atrocities and discrimination against Dalits, as well as a track record for mismanagement. Gujarat in its submission to National Commission for Scheduled Caste had recorded 6,655 cases in 2015, compared to 1130 cases in 2014. However, this astonishingly-large figure was questioned by the NCSC. The statistics were immediately revised by the state. Ultimately, according to statistics, in 2015, Gujarat recorded 1,046 cases of atrocities against Dalits. That amounts to 2.3 per cent of such crimes committed in India.
