Attempting to Fight Bigotry with Bigotry: New American Caste Laws Parts 1 & 2
from Common Threads: An Interfaith Dialogue · host Pushpita Prasad & Aldrin Deepak
I suspect that no one who listens to Common Threads would support the oppressing of someone due to their social status or caste. So when we hear of colleges, towns, states, etc., passing legislation or resolutions that claim to protect those born in "low caste" families our initial response might be a positive one. But as our guests on these 2023 episodes indicate, this kind of thinking may have serious negative consequences for Americans of South Asian descent for years to come. Theme music "Nigal."
