After Newsom solves the caste problem, could he please solve the other problems that are killing CA -- homelessness, drug addiction, gangs, freeway shootings, rampant shoplifting and other property-related crime, too many businesses leaving CA, too many migrants entering CA...
and lets outlaw cheap toilet paper in the workplace......You think Gavin can do that.??
The quickly unraveling of the earth has put capitalism and its need for ever increasing consumption on notice. Economic growth, driven by the capitalist accumulation process, is the driving force behind the climate crisis. It is past time to develop and accelerate a guide to a world beyond capitalism. The question is, in a society of runaway greed, can it be done non-violently. We must find an equitable and realistic solution to the climate crisis which is creating a war of inequality of economics.
All life on Earth, and human civilization, are sustained by vital biogeochemical systems, in delicate balance. However, our species, due to rapid population growth and explosive consumption, is destabilizing these Earth processes, endangering the stability of the “safe operating space for humanity.”
“Scientists note nine planetary boundaries beyond which we can’t push Earth Systems without putting our societies at risk: climate change, biodiversity loss, ocean acidification, ozone depletion, atmospheric aerosol pollution, freshwater use, biogeochemical flows of nitrogen and phosphorus, land-system change, and release of novel chemicals.”
Yes like their corporate purchased leaders.@@MiMiiViVi
Except Caste is not a real problem in Cali or anywhere in the US…….😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀
@@AllAboutPurple Exactly.
It's very much exist in Indian people especially Hindus in USA. Whenever they meet other Hindus they try very hard to know other Hindus caste and then their behavior change. It's hierarchical system. They rarely marry outside of their caste. And most Americans don't know about it and can't be blamed for not knowing
Why are we concerned with India? We have workers rights. Aren’t these problems that should be solved in India not here.
Immigrants from India have brought it here, and are in favor of it. They even persecuted this fine lady because she called attention to their bigotry. Got her fired. Here, not in India.
Casteists are here in USA too
@@cinefile0075you also are caste because I eat meat , drink alcohol and use sex as pleasure , like animals
No one should disclose their “caste status” in India to anyone because it’s irrelevant. Anyone who is probed or asked by a peer should report to HR because the fact that they are asking means they think it’s relevant. India really needs to change their culture in regards to caste system. It’s clearly a belief system created by the elites and wealthy as a way to protect their interests. Karma doesn’t turn a blind eye to good or evil based on caste, this system WAS CREATED BY MAN to manipulate and abuse power.
U no need to ask. It's comes with ur name...lol
All referrals happens by surname..and selection is sure if there is person of certain caste
They need to change the names then
Brahmins have created Jati and Varna (caste system) by putting themselves on top of hierarchy. So first of all Brahmins should join anti caste movement to rectify whats their ancestors have done to Indian society...
How is that not covered under race? It's an India specific issue anyways. It just takes 1 judge to enforce it under race discrimination, precedent set, no new laws needed 👍
It is covered by race.
This is another BS move by California legislators, AND Gov. Newsom that won't do a damned things to address the most pressing issues such as increasing lawlessness, increasing homelessness, increasing drug trafficking & drug dealing, public corruption, etc. Its another distraction, and another example of grandstanding, i.e., "California is leading the way"...
The folks in charge of California are disgusting.
That's what I was thinking. Businesses can't discriminate based on religion race or creed.
@@Law19157 From my experience it seems companies were unwilling to take any action unless it was specifically codified in the law. Many h1b workers from India hold very important roles, i.e. engineering. They didn't want to risk pushback from these workers.
Caste is covered under "ancestry" as well as "ethnicity" based discrimination already. What the people pushing this bill really wanted to do was to tarnish and malign, for ulterior political motives, the Indian-American (and specifically) the Hindu-American community which has been considered like some kind of a "model minority" until now. What those ulterior motives are become obvious when you dive a bit deeper into the background of the proposers and supporters of this bill.
The one big caste discrimination case in tech that they are showing as an example (at Cisco) was quietly dropped by the complainant (California Human rights dept) when the judge said there was no merit in it. Yet, every news publication mentions that case, but never mentions what its conclusion actually was.
Shows us how politics & social engineering is done behind the scenes!!
@@qa8613 How are they "tarnishing and maligning" Indian Americans when the people pushing for this Bill are themselves Indian-American? and only the Hindu-American community are "model minorities"? when these Indian-Americans are also are highly educated and hold high paying jobs?
The fact that you just denied them their own identity and isolated them as "other" by only considering yourselves to be the only Indian-Americans and "model minority" in the room gives credence to their case. Looks like they're right, people like you are discriminatory supremacists.
The caste system is in India.
Many Google employees are from India and a few higher up Indians are implementing the system at the company. Technically this should be covered under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
Many tech workers are brought over from India, sadly they bring their caste practices over here.
, Perhaps. But in a court in the USA, one Indian accusing another Indian of racism would seem irrational, since they all look like and are generally thought of as the same race to the great majority of people here.
The law demands clarity. So it is good that this particular form of discrimination be addressed.
@@milascave2 That makes sense.
workers are from INdia? we too stupid to do the job? or are they cut rate workers??@@khantra4568
I guess caste problem (which may be affecting 100 people in California) is more important than looting in San Francisco (which affects the entire city).
@@Joesmith-mg6xd
No it’s a very specific problem from a certain group. 99%of Californians have no clue what this is.
Just because it’s not important to you doesn’t mean it’s not important. Besides, crime, the housing crisis, and other issues are covered almost daily by local media here.

I hope than this law will be adopted to ALL USA, peoples know than we are all equal, we are human beigns, discriminate someone because of caste should be illegal so long time ago. Finally USA is doing something good. Remember, we are all human beigns. We are all equal.
This sounds like a personal issue more than one we need to make a law. There are already discriminatory laws on the books that would just as well cover this had it happened in a work environment.
Right, title of video should say “California doing useless things instead of fixing major issues” 😂😂
The Indian caste system is still being practiced today, plus the lady is literally is telling you she was being discriminated.
@@TheJevardo
It’s practiced in India not in the US. The US already has it’s problems this is not one of them.
This woman had a bad experience at work and decided make it about something it’s not. People have bad experiences at work everyday, you either ignore, get a different job, or sue your employer.
It’s like saying, “my employer didn’t promote me so now I’m gonna make it into a law that employers have to all employees just because, no questions asked…..” 😂😂😂
@@AllAboutPurple While that very well may be the case, to me it’s good that they preempted any sort of discrimination according to “caste.” One of the few cases where legislation cuts a a problem off from becoming a bigger issue.
This lady (Ms. Gupta) belongs to an upper-caste (businessmen) affluent family and is acting like she was oppressed due to her caste when in reality, she broke company rules by inviting a highly controversial speaker to a company event, which naturally got denied by authorities. Then, instead of following the company policies, she chose to make a big fuss of it and consequently got fired. Now, she is pretending to be a social justice crusader on TV to get publicity!!
Are we in India ? I’m lost !
No. Indians with poisonous caste system are in your country
Isn’t that what Columbus said when he arrived in the Americas? 😂
"If Hindus migrate to other regions on earth, Indian caste would become a world problem"- Dr. B.R. Ambedkar.
Rightly said by by this great man 8 decade ago.
Shame on Hinduism
Stop spreading lies. The so called great man respected by every Hindu, said these lower caste people should get reservations for 5 years only. But they still enjoy the reservations suppressing many poor people from other castes. Do you know these who cry about caste system still treat their own people as untouchables in India.
Hindus are nothing without caste identity and caste pride. It's their only identity unfortunately then Hindu identity comes
About time. It's a despicable form of discrimination. A Digusting Indian, Bangladesh and Pakistani system that should be abolished everywhere.
It’s 2023 and humans still acting like it’s the dark ages. This is why tradition sucks- because it promotes discrimination and awful behaviour towards fellow beings.
What does the caste system have to do with America?
Immigrants bring their trashy culture with them instead of assimilating
It’s a great question.
There are a lot of Indians in the Bay Area of California.
Your question says you don't work in the tech industry.
There are Indians everywhere, especially in tech, hotels, medicine, call centers, everything lol
she is playing victim. Now people who are not skilled are going to use this to sue their companies and accuse their managers of discrimination. They will fuck up the american merit system.
Good. The India caste system is discrimination.
This sort of exists all over in multiple spectrums. EG cops and security guards and especially when they goto court. Imagine a doctor belittling a nurse due to the hierarchy scale.
Basically A Garbage Claim per a Complex Based Race!💯
its in india, are we going to start sue ing india? how is it intrenched in our system?
HAHAHAHA!!! PLEASE...don't give Newsom and Cal's other Jackass "leaders" ideas about initiating a suit against and entire country.
They're likely to consider going through with it.
The Bay Area is California has a lot of Indians who work Tech. I don’t like the far left California is but this makes sense.
She makes me feel unsafe
she's just pissed she lost her job.....Now she's going for the jugular....
The Indians use the caste system to discriminate against dark skinned Indians and Black people in employment. TBT

Omg! My worst guest in the hotel are folks from India. Very disrespectful, don't know how to say thank you. Very rude people. Not a good memorable positive things that I can't think of.
They are always disrespectful. They come to the USA with their 3rd world values. Garbage people!
Jeff making caste based assumptions. Americans are awful.
Because they are from highly educated higher castes and give respect by profession..it's typical behaviour..these proud elite caste people treat others very badly..their behaviour is worst than you can imagine back in India.
I'm getting sick of all these Entitled Ultra Complainers that think everyone should recognize THEM and what THEY stand for.
I love ppl of all Race, but this is America, and it feels like everyone thinks we need to recognize everything BUT American issues. The fight for equal rights will never end bc there will always be someone new asking to be treated special. This was never a problem pre-internet days, but Social media makes ppl think that they deserve special treatment. Half my family is Mexican, (all who live in the States are legal Residents)but do you think any of my Grandparents bitched about being treated fairly as a Mexican? Hell no, they wanted to be as American as possible and somewhere ppl forgot what that means! I love my Hispanic heritage and celebrate it with my fam but you'll never hear me complaining about not being treated as anything BUT American!
About time- it will be good to call it out explicitly
Btw also focus on actually punishing criminals while your at it.
Can't believe how dense people in the comments are.
What was the need to bring in some activist and make her criticize upper castes when there is no need. They will next want reservations even in USA by showing these kind of cases. Victimhood is dangerous and reverse casteism is casteism too.
Leave it to California to invent another form of discrimination lol.
Unlike Florida extolling the virtues of slavery
I would be a absolutely no vote not because I am against Caste but because the lack of speed from the Democrat Party to help Black people but the Democrats make sure everyone else get helps
Why would you support the Caste System? This is a racist system. Smh
* eyeroll *
Ya this is what we should be spending our tax dollars on. Not fixing shit. Good job Ca.
Google is a private corporation. No tax dollars involved.
Yeah, why tackle the important issues like drugs and homelessness.
This is a problem among Indians. How are you going to legislate thousands of years of their culture?
They have no right to practice discrimination in the USA. They need to take their caste system back to Indian and the other countries that practice it.
The Indians use the caste system to discriminate against dark skinned Indians and Black people in employment. TBT
Tackling the important issues...banning caste discrimination which doesn't exist in America...
No it's practiced by many tech workers brought overseas, clearly you don't work in the industry.
it's all so stupid what we focus on...The real stuff gets lost in the shuffle...
practiced how? you propagandists love to link every life misery of yours with caste, retarded mentality, stop playing victim card when it is non existent, stop looting freebies in the name of fake caste discrimination stories @@khantra4568
It's very much exist in Indian people especially Hindus. Whenever they meet other Hindus they try very hard to know other Hindus caste and then their behavior change. It's hierarchical system. They rarely marry outside of their caste. And most Americans don't know about it and can't be blamed for not knowing
how they try to know other Hindus caste ? what exactly they do? how people not wanting to marry outside of their caste has anything to do with discrimination, i have never seen even all dalits marrying each other, they too have their set of preferences/caste while marrying their daughters or sons, when no single caste want to go beyond this thing how come you point only so called upper castes ? ask questions to SCs STs and even OBCs as well, most Americans don't know about it because it don't exist, its your casteist mindset which tries to find caste in every misery of your life, you have not even faced D of discrimination in your entire life on the basis of your caste, do not lie to everyone. @@cinefile0075
Remember, diversity is our strength.
oy vey!
I worked with a great crew until they hired a person who saw EVERYTHING as discrimination. Turned the job into a nightmare.
What is she talking about India has a class system is America 🇺🇸 just feeding victims?
With diversity they will bring in their vicious inhumane practices (like caste system) in America unfortunately. But then that's why this bill is needed in USA.
@@cinefile0075 not true, please visit India to understand about caste and the who the true victims due to this modern Wokeism. Do you know when the reservations going to end in India. Once these people climb up the ladder abusing reservations, they treat their own people like animals if they are from poor rural backgrounds. There are so many such examples
I thought this was in India? Do we even have this in California?
Serious question, is CASTE DISCRIMINATION ever mentioned in US constitution? Does she mean she didnt get the promotion because of lower caste in India? If this ever pass, all Indians can use this law to retaliate against their employers if they wont get promoted. We already have strict discrimination laws in this country.
It's meant to show the world how "enlightened" (🤣🤣🤣) California is.
It's also meant to distract folks from focusing on the terrible condition California is in.
Well said….this is a waste of time…
Haa haa just because you imagine misuse in your dream doesn't mean there shouldn't be law against crime.
If a ban on caste discrimination is passed then all of the politicians and their families would need to resign.
This young woman needs to take her fight to India. California already has discrimination laws.
If she tries this in India she will be spat upon. It's easier to beat woke drums in California than to do actual work. It pays better.
She is living in USA why should she fight in India ?? USA has millions of Hindus and most of them have caste pride and prejudice against other castes.
Isn't the CEO indian? what is she talking about?
Caste is a form of racism practiced by Indians
she's talking about the caste system among indians
sundar pichar 's caste is highest on the caste hierarchy.
but the whole idea is that caste = discrimination.
california doesn't want that discrimination, meaning they don’t want indian people to affect other indian people's chances at advancing their careers.
The Indians use the caste system to discriminate against dark skinned Indians and Black people in employment. TBT
Damit i am not an indian but i would still protect their right for caste discrimination
Changing the meaning of a words, one word at a time.
It all started from Hindu scriptures (anyone can read and check it ) written around 2000 years ago. It has been happening since then. Unfortunately Hindus first identity has become their caste and not religion. Through arrange marriages they have managed to sustain caste system (they rarely marry outside of their caste especially to lowered caste Hindus). This vicious and poisonous system called caste needs to end.
I disagree. The Indian Caste System used to discriminate against darker skinned people. All of the lighter skinned Indians are treated better in every way. TBT
@@rhondae8222wrong buddy it's not skin it's discipline, cleanliness basis of caste system

DEI training is caste discrimination.
When the HR manager is from India, you will will see many hired from the upper caste.
Isn't this the same state that just a year or two ago almost repealed their whole civil rights act? (Yes.)
YUP LOL
I support the woman...
I second that support.
Caste discrimination ? Are we in India?
No you brought medieval India to US
It is sometimes important to discrimnate and prevent people from being allowed to do things
The best way to explain this. Is the TV drama better call Saul.
We’ve got so much stuffwrong in the state and we are worried about this ??
How about crime in California, rising gas prices and grocery prices
British Parliament passed this absurd law called Equality Act in 2018 and then realized the stupidity of this law. Britain is a bankrupt country - financially, morally, ethically, culturally. They scraped the law since no Indian who goes abroad is aware of the caste of the other person or their own. Even in India, if the Govt takes a decision to scrap the caste based affirmative action, in a few years nobody will even remember what caste they were born into. Infact the Constitution of India discriminates against some castes and holds the reserved castes at a higher pedestal. Serious research on the origins of this system would reveal that this system was created under the British and once people's minds are filled with victimhood, they convince themselves that their plight is due to suppression.
Sooooo, she quit after creating a hostile work environment by accusing individuals of bullying based on the Indian Caste system. Isn't banning caste discrimination consider discrimination towards Indian culture, since they believe in the caste system, even if other countries don't. That would be the same as banning anyone that practices communism.
No civilized person believes in that. Definitely has no place in the US
discrimination against blacks is encouraged

caste discriminarion laws are not there in india except sc/st atrocity
I first thought what the heck? I knew the existing cast discrimination in India. I have never thought it would be in US.
It's already there and well practiced ..go there in Indian gatherings and do a survey. There are organisations in US based on caste.
California going big time Woke and singling out one community. Shame.
Thank you 🙏🏽
California could become first state ever to ban racial discrimination? That's what caste literally means. 😂😂😂😂🤦♂️
I wholeheartedly agree. That's exactly what it is. TBT
I thought we were supposed to be accepting of other cultures and not make them assimilate into American values.
😂😂😂 right?
@@mistresskeke The caste system is racist. Those companies who practice it, do not hire dark skinned people of any race nor do they promote them to higher or top positions.

I'm guessing "Caste" will get a new definition and then the cartoon begins.
Brahmins made the caste system (jati and Varna) with putting themselves on top in hierarchy (first mentioned in rigveda ; 1st Mandala). Our country still paying for their evil Creation. Reservation and everything is all coz of jati and Varna. I remember reading one of famous Indian economists pointing out things which are holding back India economically ; one of them was jati and Varna system. 😌😌.....
How is Caste defined in the US?
Umm hmm. ... ! 🤔
As if we dont already have a overwhelming sea of other problems to worry about !!! 🙄
Sundar Pichai is the current CEO of Google and its parent company, Alphabet. How can there be caste discrimination in this company? Is he a higher cast than she? She is not CEO because she is in a lower caste?
Orgs/departments are silos and many times individual managers operate their teams however they want. Nobody within these companies will take a formal stance on this even if they see managers operating with bias.
As someone from another state currently working in CA temporarily, there's soooo many Indians here, and unfortunately, I see and agree this is needed as an attempt to protect those who are of lower "Indian Caste". This is America, not India, and this part of that culture at least shouldn't be tolerated
I think she’s not from lower caste as she claimed here. It’s very complicated than any issue to judge by caste, she’s from the caste that’s named after Gupta dynasty who were emperors in historical India. The one who supported this bill is from Afghan origin who already have their own problems than worrying about Indian people and promoting Wokeism
Microsoft and Google are hotbed of caste discrimination. Ask them to dare to disclose the caste diversity of Indians working there or go to outlook and ctrl +k to find the specific surname. Denial mode to save your sins
too little too late

That lady talking about discrimination doesn’t fall under caste discrimination as she’s Gupta - that caste came from Gupta dynasty once ruled India. Maybe it’s personal that she wanted recognition under Wokeism umbrella and Equality labs which is nothing but haters of everything.
