Geneva (Switzerland), March 25 (ANI): The daughter of a sanitation worker from India’s Indore city, who is doing her PhD in Switzerland on a government scholarship praised the country for uplifting the marginalized people during the 52nd Session of Human Rights Council Session in Geneva on March 24. Speaking exclusively to ANI at the UN, Rohini Ghavari said, “The condition of Dalits in India is much better than the neighbouring countries like Pakistan and others. We have a reservation policy for Dalits. Even, I received a scholarship of Rs 1 Crore from the Government of India. I am a real example.” “The major change in India is that we have a tribal President Mrs Draupadi Murmu, and we have an OBC Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. In the past 75 years, Dalits in India have witnessed changes. Our country’s Constitution is so strong that a person belonging to a marginalized section can dream of becoming a Prime Minister or President. They can go to Harvard and Oxford. India has seen such changes,” she added. Pakistan has been continuously attacking India on minorities issues and the treatment of Dalit, tribal and other people belonging to marginalized sections of the society.
