[Suhag A. Shukla @SuhagAShukla]

The insinuation that casteism pervades South Asian communities is false & the obligatory citation to the @EqualityLabs report is damning. @CarnegieEndow’s scientific survey found caste disc to be a rare occurrence in the US (5% of respondents) & dismissed the EL effort as below:

[Suhag A. Shukla @SuhagAShukla]

The @harvard grad student worked with Equality Labs to convince negotiators to add caste. The same EL whose director attacked @twitter’s new CEO labeling him with the wrong “caste” category! If Equality Labs can’t identify a person’s “caste” how will Harvard administrators?

[Suhag A. Shukla @SuhagAShukla]

There will be unintended consequences. @Harvard could jeopardize the well-being, safety, and rights to equal protection and due process for hundreds of Hindu & South Asian students.

It is un-American for any American to call for a state religion.
