13:47Now PlayingA groundbreaking bill has been introduced in California's Senate that seeks to explicitly outlaw caste discrimination, making the state the first in the country to do so. The proposal was filed by state senator Aisha Wahab; the first female Afghan American elected into the state's Senate. The bill aims to include caste as a protected category in the state's anti-discrimination laws, following in the footsteps of Seattle, which became the first city in the US to ban caste discrimination. The proposed bill has faced pushback from some Indian Americans, who argue that it discriminates against Hindus. However, Wahab remains steadfast in her belief that the bill is relevant across different religions and ethnicities and is necessary to protect Californians from discrimination. While Wahab's proposal has received significant pushback, including death threats and anti-Muslim slurs, the senator remains resolute in her determination to fight for the rights of all Californians.
