The Indian Caste System in the US: A Cross-Cultural Exploration
Listen to an audio podcast of this program.
In 2023, amidst significant controversy, Seattle and Fresno made history by enacting the first U.S. laws against caste discrimination. This development coincides with the Indian American population's 150% growth since 2000, the largest and fastest-growing Asian American group. Grasping the caste system's deep roots in Indian society is vital, as it influences the wider South Asian community. Perceptions of the impact of caste can lead to internal divisions, affecting workplace environments and community unity. This session on May 16 is essential for those engaging with these communities to gain insights into navigating these complex cultural dynamics.
This presentation is sponsored by the City of Iowa City's Office of Equity and Human Rights and is part of the Office's monthly Lens Webinar Series.
