Marginalized Community

Dr. Drona Prakash Rasali The California State Senate recently passed a bill to ban caste discrimination with an overwhelming 34-1 majority vote. This bill is both just and urgent, aiming to prevent a South Asian historical caste discrimination issue from taking root in American society, which already grapples with existing color-coded racism. California Governor Gavin Newsom, who is set to evaluate the bill, is expected to sign it, weighing its alignment with the 13th Amendment of the US Constitution and the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
