The home turf of big tech companies, California has recorded a victory for all its caste-oppressed people as the California State Senate voted 34-1 to pass a legislation putting a ban on caste-based discrimination.
With Apple, Google, Meta and Cisco headquartered in Silicon Valley, along with offices of Amazon and Microsoft – California accommodates about 1.8 million people of South Asian descent. And has consistently reported incidents of caste discrimination over the years.
