One year ago (April 2023), Sundar Iyer emerged victorious from the “Cisco #caste lawsuit.” Check out this video to learn the complete story and understand how Indian-Americans face the threat of religious #profiling.

Despite a loss in #California, the media-powered #CasteInUS narrative continues to roll on. Most likely to help prod yet another US state to create #racist laws targeting #Hindus and #IndianAmericans. Today's salvo is from @washingtonpost 1/n
#SB403

How #HinduAmericans defeated #SB403 & what lies ahead! Thanks @VJjha for spotlighting #CasteInUS which continues to be a fake narrative the community has to fight off. The damage already done is immense & needs rectification. Join #CoHNA in this battle https://t.co/J5maUX0rNP
A must hear podcast, featuring the voices of those most closely impacted by the #CasteinUS issue. Governor @GavinNewsom please #VetoSb403
Do listen and share. Thanks @razibkhan

Sundar Iyer and Sudha Jagannathan: the accused speaks the truth about caste and the "Cisco Case" https://t.co/gs5iA0hklU Unsupervised Learning tends to steer clear of topics “ripped from the headlines,” but the occasional exception must be made. Today, Razib talks about the intersection of religion, caste and American law and policy with Sundar Iyer and Sudha Jagannathan. Jagannathan, an MBA, is now a board member of the Coalition of Hindus of North America, after working in technology and sales in the Bay Area for 30 years. Iyer is a technology entrepreneur, advisor and angel investor, who holds a Ph.D. in computer science. But this conversation is not about technology. It's about a “current event” that took over Iyer’s life for the better part of the past three years. In the year 2020, California regulators sued Cisco Systems for “for internally enforcing the caste hierarchy.” Iyer was one of two individuals named in that case. For most of the 2020’s so far, Iyer’s life was turned upside down, before the California Civil Rights Department dismissed its case against him (though it continues to pursue Cisco).
When the this issue first emerged in the news, some blogs, group chats and email lists surfaced points that should have made anyone skeptical that Iyer was a casteist: he is an atheist who does not identify as Hindu, and his personal views on social issues are quite liberal. These facts are in the public record because twenty years ago, long before he was in the public eye, Iyer wrote about his perspectives in a blog post expressing his strident atheism and rejection of caste. Now Iyer is speaking out about what he experienced, and how progressive cultural and political institutions are being weaponized by activists pursuing narrow, self-interested aims. As a successful entrepreneur, Iyer has the resources to fight to clear his name, and stand up for the objective truth against what he sees as the manipulations of the media and activists. Jagannathan also offers her own perspective as a devout Hindu who is from a “lower caste” background who takes issue with comments made in the mainstream media about her religion and culture, where the caste system is conflated with Hinduism and Indian identity, and assertions are made that the caste is a fundamental part of her faith.
Though this episode focuses on the institution of caste and the experience of Indian Americans specifically, it is more broadly about the significant tradeoffs of embracing simple solutions in a complex world. The social justice movement and the American elite political class are fundamentally egalitarian, currently ever alert for oppressors and the oppressed. In the process, innocent individuals get swept up in witch hunts, as activists attempt to find causes worthy of their attention and outrage. Iyer’s experience is not unique, insofar as many, many, Americans have fallen under the narrowed eye of crusading Human Resources departments, bent on transforming workplace disputes into socio-political dramas. The ultimate question is whether an exceedingly diverse America can proceed forward as a dynamic economy and culture despite the burden of ever-present litigation and workplace conflict created when our elites fixate on what divides us, rather than what unites us.

Thank you for being guided by facts - vs partisan emotions on the #casteinUS issue. It's very easy to go along with a popular #WitchHunt but it takes courage to listen to the #truth.
We hope Governor @GavinNewsom will listen to reason and #VetoSb403. CoHNA's offer to fund a #CasteSurvey for #California remains open.
We’ve received countless calls from constituents & Californians across the state in opposition to #SB403. It’s my job to represent their concerns.
@ShannonGroveCA & I are calling on Gov Newsom to do the right thing and veto this discriminatory, divisive, and unnecessary bill.

@SenBrianJones @ShannonGroveCA Thank you for being guided by facts - vs partisan emotions on #casteinUS. We hope Governor @GavinNewsom will listen & #VetoSb403 . It's very easy to go along with a popular #WitchHunt but it takes courage to listen to the #truth. CoHNA's offer to fund a #CasteSurvey remains open.
A powerful article demolishes many prevailing myths conflating #caste with #colorism, name & diets. Thanks @nandiniwriter @AmericanKahani
Governor @GavinNewsom one more reason to #VetoSB403 . Laws like #Sb403 are built on a fake #CasteInUS narrative

A powerful fact-laden piece from @AsraNomani cuts through the manufactured hype around #CasteInUS. With all the so called "evidence" regarding #caste discrimination in the US falling apart, @GavinNewsom -you have only one clear choice to make- #VetoSB403.
Vote against a racist law seeking to profile folks based on religion. The 3-year hounding of #SundarIyer ,the death of #MilindMakwana , the stereotyping of #IndianAmerican tech workers is evidence of the deep damage already inflicted by the fake narrative. #SayNoToProfiling #SB403
🚨 🧵 @OCRegister, I argue: if @GavinNewsom signs a xenophobic anti-Hindu bill he “risks alienating millions of Indian Americans…and worse, endorsing an insidious slander,” based on a hoax at Cisco. Reply politely to urge him to veto the anti-Hindu bill. https://t.co/1l6TPcGz02
The #Dalits you never hear about from the #CasteEquity brigade. A new article looks at the reality of the organizations behind #CasteInUS laws and their claims of championing the interests of the underprivileged. Many Dalit Bahujan groups, and CoHNA’s own national leaders, referenced in this article, have already spoken out against the claims of #EqualityLabs to represent all Dalits.
Our own feed regularly highlights the steady stream of atrocities AND the conspicuous silence of various #HumanRights and #DalitRights activists against the ongoing genocide of Hindus in #Pakistan and #Bangladesh , most of whom hail from the Dalit community.
More proof that #Caste laws in the US are about dismantling #Hinduism and not protecting the oppressed.

An Indian reporter covering a controversial story on Delhi CM was arrested by Punjab Police. They arrested her over alleged “caste remarks” that no one can prove. This should make everyone in US sit up & take notice on how loosely defined #caste laws can F up diaspora. #CasteInUS

True, Mr. President @POTUS
Please exemplify 🇺🇸’s capacity by putting an anti-caste policy in place to outlaw and criminalise systemic casteism and caste-based discrimination in the country.

“This is not unique to Google. This is happening across tech because of the large number of South Asian employees.”
Read the @NewYorker’s conversation with @tanuja822 on cases of caste discrimination in Google and other tech companies in the US.

“I don’t fault people for not knowing the intricacies of caste discrimination,” says Tanuja Gupta, who recently resigned from her job at Google, after the company cancelled a discussion about the topic. “I fault people for not wanting to learn about it.” https://t.co/XR6HdJYgWy
