Has India’s caste system migrated to the US? – BBC News
Seattle has become the first city in the US to ban discrimination on the basis of caste.
The city has a large South Asian population, many working in the technology sector.
In the future, caste will be identified in its own class, alongside race, religion and gender identity.
The caste system in India dates back over 3,000 years and divides Hindu society into rigid hierarchical groups.
This can lead to discrimination and violence against those considered to be in the lowest classes – particularly the Dalit, or ‘untouchables’.
Kshama Sawant, the Seattle city councillor behind the legislation, and Pulitzer prize winning author Isabel Wilkerson, join Christian Fraser and his panel to put the new law into context.

Social media giant Meta has agreed to a $18bn (£13.3bn) settlement with US states and territories to resolve claims that Facebook and Instagram harmed children.
A California judge approved the settlement, which Meta must pay to 48 states, plus the District of Columbia and three US territories, marking the company’s largest payment over child safety litigation to date.
Meta will also implement a host of changes aimed at better protecting kids online, which the states had demanded, including default daily time limits and night-time blocks.
Meta has denied any wrongdoing as part of the settlement and said on Wednesday that the payment it agreed to “will be distributed in annual instalments over a 10-year period”.

Prime Minister Andy Burnham has told the BBC that PC Andrew Harper’s killers will remain behind bars as he announces changes to the early release scheme aimed at easing prison overcrowding.
In an exclusive interview with BBC Breakfast, Burnham said anyone convicted of manslaughter will be excluded from changes brought in under the Sentencing Act, which would have made the killers eligible for early release.
Burnham said extra prison spaces would be created by deporting “hundreds” of foreign prisoners and releasing some inmates serving indefinite sentences.

Twenty-seven people have been killed and almost 400 evacuated after a Russian strike hit a warehouse near Kyiv, triggering a fire and a series of explosions.
Regional governor Tymur Tkachenko said a further 42 people, including four children, were injured after the Russian drone strike in the Bucha district.
An investigation has been launched into whether ammunition was being stored at the site, where search and rescue operations were ongoing early on Saturday.
Russia’s Ministry of Defence said in a statement that its forces had targeted “an ammunition depot” in the Kyiv region village of Myla, which stores “components and launch boosters for FP-1/FP-2 long-range unmanned aerial vehicles”.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed his condolences to the families of the victims of the strike, saying that more than 300 emergency respondents had been deployed to the strike area.

The reservation excludes Brahmins in areas in which they are under-represented such as education and employment. Brahmins oppose reservation to achieve goals such as bridging inequalities in employment and pay, increasing access to education, and redressing existing injustices, prejudices or obstacles against Brahmins. The reservation purely targets the Brahmins by discouraging them for increased participation. Brahmin drawback is the societal drawback that disadvantages Brahmin people over non-Brahmin people in societies, if they are under the same social, political, or economic circumstances. Current innocent Brahmin people must not bear a collective responsibility for the harm which had resulted from historical casteist treatment of people belonging to other groups. Discrimination against any individual on the basis of their Brahmin origin is unjustified. Reservation is discriminatory, discarded meritocracy and is driven by lower caste vote-bank politics.

Caste from South Asia is just a scapegoat, exploitation happens in every society. Any comparative study can actually show that pretty easily.

This is some next level gaslighting from the BBC and the country that originally brought the caste system to India to begin with. Quit trying to make this an Indian invention. And the US suddenly segregated and stratified by class bc of (🤣) the Indian caste system ?! Gtfoh 🖕🏾😆

Most Indians have too many problems with intigrating into foreign societies and they are proud about it. They should be made to prove that they can integrate, at least basic things, like that they are capable of showering, using deodorants, or can talk to women without saxual harassment.

Indians complain about discrimination but they themselves follow systemic caste and religious discrimination that has been normalized in India.

Cast is disgusting. Dalits should just convert or turn atheist and renounce the racist hind caste system.
