To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations the Government have made to the Indian Government on human rights issues in relation to the Dalit community. [63867]

During my visit to India in November I raised human rights issues with the Indian authorities, including attacks on minority communities. I also mentioned our concerns about religious freedom and tolerance. We will continue to make clear to the Government of India our commitment to human rights.
