Why has Seattle ban on caste discrimination sparked a controversy? | Explainer | Oneindia News

On Tuesday, Seattle became the first U.S. city to ban caste discrimination after a vote on it was taken by the city council.

Seattle has also become the first in the world to pass such a law outside South Asia.

This City has amended its municipal code to include caste as a protected class, alongside categories such as race, religion and gender identity.

The move has been welcomed largely but a controversy has also broken out after this.

Today, we take a look at this legislation and the controversy that is doing rounds in the wake of it.

Trump’s Nobel Buzz EXPLODES As Armenia, Azerbaijan, Israel & Pak Unite In Global Peace Prize Push

In an unprecedented show of global consensus, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Israel, Pakistan, and Cambodia have all backed U.S. President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. Armenia’s Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijan’s Ilham Aliyev jointly credited Trump for brokering a landmark peace deal ending decades of conflict in the South Caucasus, calling him a “peacemaker.” The agreement includes a U.S.-controlled transit corridor — the “Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity” — linking Azerbaijan to its Nakhchivan exclave through Armenia. Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu, Pakistan’s government, and Cambodia’s Hun Manet also nominated Trump, citing his role in defusing conflicts from the Middle East to South Asia. The White House hailed the deal as a setback for China, Russia, and Iran. With multiple nations — some rivals — rallying behind him, Trump’s Nobel push has become one of the most talked-about diplomatic developments of the year. #Trump #NobelPeacePrize #Armenia #Azerbaijan #Israel #Pakistan #Cambodia #PeaceDeal #SouthCaucasus #USDiplomacy #MiddleEast #NagornoKarabakh #Aliyev #Pashinyan #Netanyahu #HunManet #GlobalPolitics #WorldLeaders #TrumpNobel #PeaceTalks ~HT.318~ED.103~
