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. • Please subscribe HERE: http://bit.ly/1rbfUog • #India #US #BBCNews
