Nepali Dalits seek civil services seats in propo to their population

Kathmandu, Nov 11 (UNI) Dalit rights activists have demanded that the draft of Federal Civil Services Bill should ensure reservation percentage for Dalits in proportion to their population.
The bill proposes that out of total reserved seats under general quota, 12 per cent will go to Dalits and out of total reserved seats for women 10 per cent seats will go to Dalit women, The HImalayan Times reported on Saturday.
Former chair of the National Dalit Commission Man Bahadur Nepali said Dalits constituted 14 per cent of population and since they had faced the worst caste discrimination for centuries, they should get at least 16 per cent reservation to compensate for the past injustices.
