- The first-ever Caste Conference (CasteCon) was held in Silicon Valley to dispel misconceptions relating to this concept that is being litigated in the West.
Of note was the first public appearance by Sundar Iyer, one of the men accused of caste discrimination by a dalit colleague at Cisco Systems. After years of litigation, the State of California’s Civil Rights Division (CRD) withdrew charges in April against Iyer and Ramana Kompella after the court considered sanctioning the CRD for inconsistencies in their case.
The CRD’s case against Cisco Systems remains, but settlement talks have dissolved.
In a statement to Diya TV, Iyer said “he was CRD’s best and only example of alleged Dalit caste discrimination, despite having offered every top leadership position in his Cisco startup (including the head of engineering position that [the plaintiff] claims discrimination for), to another senior Dalit.”
The bill has mobilized and also divided the South Asian community in California. Community members in other regions are watching closely to see how this matter is ultimately handled by the Golden State.

For some reason, I cannot write a comment on any video here at Diya since last 4 hours from my regular account. There is only one person in the entire world with my name. If I had the strength to travel, I would have met the diaspora at religious places or near grocery stores. However, since July 2023, my health has not been doing well. Let's engage in a logical debate in a polite manner, free from the constraints of social media on priorities for pravasis.
Important to stay involved in political system otherwise you will be taken for granted
Head of Engineering
Department
position
My white SUO made several racist comments in addition of constantly harassing me and becoming violent towards me but my DFEH claim went nowhere.
California Civil Rights Department (CA CRD) is previously DFEH?
Like UNION, DFEH is politically motivated. I say this from personal experience.
May be it is time for you to be religious .😊
Says not religious, starts by saying Panditji 😂
