Caste in Great Britain & Equality Law
Do you know what caste you belong to? Does your caste determine anything in your current affairs? How has the caste system made any difference to your life?
The Government want to caste discriminate through law proceedings. Is the caste system needed in this day and age or is this now a past tradition? We shouldn’t be treated differently due to our caste, but are we still susceptible to discriminate? Be a part of this movement by filling in this form and have your voice heard, loud and clear – will the legal introduction of caste in UK law help or hinder the prevention of caste discrimination in this country?
See this article on the BBC for various view points on this matter.
