BNN Breaking: California Outlaws Caste Discrimination: A Landmark Move Towards Equality
In a historic move, the California Assembly passed a bill to outlaw caste discrimination, adding caste to the list of categories protected under the state's anti-discrimination laws. Authored by State Senator Aisha Wahab and approved by a near-unanimous vote of 34-1, the bill addresses the issue faced by South Asians, particularly Dalits, in California, including instances of mistreatment at work and discrimination in education.
