California Assembly passes anti-caste Bill, soon to make it official state law
www.thenewsminute.com
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.

    Did you forget Modi publicly supporting Trump’s 2020 presidential bid with “Abki baar Trump sarkar!” and a beaming Trump by his side and a stadium full of cheering Indian-Americans?

    @givesomefucks : This was in September 2019 when Indian Americans hosted a ‘Howdy Modi’ event .

      I didn’t. Both Modi and Trump seemed to think that support for the BJP would translate into support for Trump. And yet, Indian-Americans voted overwhelmingly for Biden (see the poll I linked above).
