the article looks like Violence against Dalits in Bihar more than Dalits in Bihar, Shouldn't the name be changed to "Violence against Dalits in Bihar"? because that is what it covers. And what I have seen is lots of lines being repetitive in the article. Either the separate section on violence should be merged into one main section with sub-sections or the best option is to rename the article. Akalanka820 ( talk) 05:22, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
I came into this article from the comments in Abecedare's talk page. I have added content to similar communities and have some questions. I shall follow this article to see if they get addressed over time.:

The section became too long, and i chose the Belchhi incident as it satisfies WP: Notability. Admantine123 ( talk) 00:10, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
This content seems to have been added in the root causes, the author hasn't even used word Dalit, untouchables, or Scheduled Castes. The page topic is not social backwardness in Bihar, but on untouchables. The lines in the quotes seems very generic: "Rumela Sen outlines the inequalities and backwardness prevalent in Bihar in post-independence period as a consequence of the "delaying tactics" in implementation of land reform and utilisation of kinship ties by the upper-caste landlords, who were having obstructionist attitude towards the land reform programs. The upper-caste not only dominated the administration, but also the politics in the post-independence period, and they utilised the caste ties to keep about 9000 acres of land undisturbed to the poor. Since the landlords primarily belonged to upper-caste as were the politicians and administrators, they were successful in grabbing large holdings amidst the passage of Zamindari abolition act of 1952."

The big landlords of Bihar derailed land reform via delaying tactics and by refusing to comply with paperwork. They refused to submit documents for their estates despite government orders and filed thousands of court cases halting the landholding ceiling and redistribution of over 9,000 acres of land across the state of Bihar. Since administrators and politicians came mostly from the same landed gentry upper castes as the landlords, the landlords exploited their kinship ties to have government field surveys halted, amended, and ultimately aborted.
