In another significant moment for the movement against caste discrimination in the United States, a Bill to make caste discrimination illegal was passed by the California State Assembly on Monday, August 28, with 50 votes in its favour and only three against it. It was earlier passed by the state's Senate in May this year. With its passage in the state Assembly, California will become the first US state to ban caste discrimination. The legislation will add caste as a protected category under 'ancestry' in California’s Unruh Civil Rights Act, Education, and Housing codes.

    ‘racially profile select communities on the basis of their ethnicity and ancestry for disparate treatment’

    when that’s exactly what they’re doing by putting people into castes in the first place. lamf, indeed.
