Concept:The Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, lists different levels of offences committed against Dalits and Adivasis.
Explanation:The Act clearly mentions humiliating acts that are physically horrific and morally reprehensible.
These include forcing a person to eat inedible substances or removing clothes and parading them naked.
So, statement 1 is correct.
The Act also lists actions that dispossess Dalits and Adivasis of their lands or resources.
It punishes those who forcibly occupy or cultivate land owned by or allotted to a Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe member.
It also covers actions that force them into slave labour.
So, statement 2 is correct.
At another level, the Act recognises that crimes against Dalit and tribal women are of a specific kind.
It penalises anyone who assaults or uses force on a Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe woman with the intent to dishonour her.
So, statement 3 is correct.
Thus, all three statements are correct.
Answer:C. All three
