I don't understand your comment. We agree that caste discrimination is bad and should be "left behind," but you don't want laws passed about that?
It feels like you're saying "things should be this way, so I assume that they already are" rather than "things should be this way, so let's construct laws that encourage that."
- nescioquid 4y agoIf you start with the presumption that anti-discrimination laws already exist, then you may see this law as merely performative -- it didn't outlaw anything that was actually permitted prior. But it could also be that such a redundant law is part of an broader acculturation process, and so has more cultural, rather than legal value.
