Why has Seattle ban on caste discrimination sparked a controversy? | Explainer | Oneindia News

On Tuesday, Seattle became the first U.S. city to ban caste discrimination after a vote on it was taken by the city council.

Seattle has also become the first in the world to pass such a law outside South Asia.

This City has amended its municipal code to include caste as a protected class, alongside categories such as race, religion and gender identity.

The move has been welcomed largely but a controversy has also broken out after this.

Today, we take a look at this legislation and the controversy that is doing rounds in the wake of it.
