A group of caste equity leaders have been fasting for more than two weeks to convince Gov. Gavin Newsom to sign a bill that would make caste discrimination illegal in California.

Holy shit I didn't know it was this bad. That's worse than Nazi Germany, except for the concentration camps and gas chambers part. I feel like I have to call my local MP and complain about this, because NZ admits a lot of Indians. I'm completely against discrimination but if we had a law that said 70% of Indian immigrants must be Dalit, I bet that would piss the supremacists off a whole lot.

I've just provided a small snapshot, because its traumatic to write it all down. But the reality is so much worse, hence this attempt. Caste atrocities and Brahmin purity culture are India's best kept secrets, because even the perps know it is inhumane and barbaric. Now they're emboldened to normalise their purity culture outside India because oppressor castes are in positions of power in other countries and in large multi-national corporations. If that gets accepted then they'll work to normalize caste & caste atrocities.

but if we had a law that said 70% of Indian immigrants must be Dalit, I bet that would piss the supremacists off a whole lot.

They'd be hopping mad. You'd be called racist & Hinduphobic and they'd use your country's democracy, media, and laws to defeat such a law.

You talked of Nazi Germany's gas chambers and concentration camps.

India is the oppressor castes made open-air concentration camp which the oppressed castes are born into & cannot escape. Thanks to our Constitution created by Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar (the first oppressed caste person who escaped, educated himself, and returned to free the rest of us. To say the oppressor castes hate him is an understatement.) and brave anti-caste leaders, the oppressed have a voice, are able to talk about these crimes against humanity, are able to garner support in their fight to be treated as humans,

What is the need for gas chambers when oppressor castes are barbaric enough to enjoy the public humiliation, torture, and murder of their fellow citizens? They know that the law will not apply to them because the police are also from the oppressor upper castes, if they get arrested after a hue-and-cry they'll be released on bail by judges who are also from oppressor upper castes. If all else fails, the media whch is 99% from oppressor castes & politicians in power who are also from oppressor castes will see they don't get punished.

It's estimated that about 95% of the videos of caste atrocities that come to light are recorded by the perpetrators who use them to boast and gain clout in their community, while their community uses these videos to further terrify oppressed castes.

Shit dude, this needs more public awareness. I'm going to do my part as best I can. Time for another rabbit hole to go down.

Prepare for mental trauma. I'm being serious here.
