Caste is discrimination based on religion. The discriminator views the victim as being less deserving based on religious ideology. The religious ideology insists that a person born to a certain caste deserves it based on something they supposedly did in a past lifetime. It thus excuses the prejudicial behavior as a form of cosmic justice.
- margalabargala 4y agoI can understand that this is how those who participate in caste discrimination may justify it to themselves. But, I do not see how in the US, that claim somehow makes its way around racial discrimination laws, where to someone not sharing that religious belief, it very much appears as though people are simply discriminating based on ancestry i.e. race.
- tomohawk 4y agoI do not see why caste based discrimination should be legal given the current law, but high caste people have powerful positions in these important companies. They are politically connected. It may take a while for the case law and EEO machinery to put a stop to it.
