California governor vetoes bill passed by state legislature against caste-based discrimination
California governor Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill that would have added caste to the state's anti-discrimination legislation, arguing that existing laws already prohibit discrimination based on various dimensions, including caste. Indian-American Hindu groups welcomed the decision, while anti-caste and minority groups criticized Newsom. The bill had passed in the California House in August but faced opposition from some groups within the Indian-American community. The veto comes after Fresno and Seattle explicitly banned caste-based bias, and universities including Brandeis and Harvard included caste in their non-discrimination policies.
