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 Sons Sign SECRET Crypto Deal In Pakistan Days Before Pahalgam Attack | India Raises Alarm

Just days before the Pahalgam terror attack, a controversial U.S.-Pakistan crypto deal was signed in Islamabad involving Trump’s sons and Jared Kushner. With a 60% stake in World Liberty Financial, the Trump family aims to position Pakistan as South Asia’s crypto hub. The deal has drawn criticism in New Delhi over alleged political motives, especially with Pakistani Army Chief Asim Munir’s backing. Despite growing scrutiny, Trump’s family and the White House remain silent, while Pakistan’s Crypto Council claims the agreement is purely economic and focused on blockchain integration and digital inclusion. #TrumpFamily #CryptoDeal #Pakistan #BlockchainNews #TrumpSons #JaredKushner #PahalgamAttack #CryptoControversy #Islamabad #SouthAsiaCrypto #WorldLibertyFinancial #TrumpNews #FinancialInclusion #Binance #ChangpengZhao #CryptoCouncil #DigitalPakistan #IndiaPakistanTensions #CryptoPolitics #BlockchainDeal #GlobalCrypto #TrumpInPakistan #CryptoInvestment #CryptoHubs #Tokenization #Stablecoin #RegTech #AsimMunir #USPakistanDeal #NewDelhiConcern #Geopolitics Also Read ‘Running Out of Lives’: Eric Trump Stunned by Second Assassination Attempt on Donald Trump :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/running-out-of-lives-eric-trump-stunned-by-second-assassination-attempt-on-donald-trump-3935765.html?ref=DMDesc Eric Trump Testifies in New York Civil Fraud Trial :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/eric-trump-testifies-in-new-york-civil-fraud-trial-gen-3663975.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.346~HT.336~

Why Did America Jump In? U.S Expert Reveals What Forced America To Mediate India-Pak Ceasefire

Washington-based South Asia analyst Michael Kugelman explains why the U.S. intervened during the rising tensions between India and Pakistan. Initially maintaining a watchful stance, Vice President Vance and President Trump eventually pushed for a ceasefire due to two major concerns: rapid military escalation and fears around nuclear security. Kugelman noted that the U.S. was alarmed by India’s targeting of a strategic air base near nuclear sites in Rawalpindi. These developments prompted a rare shift from passive observation to active diplomatic pressure. #IndiaPakistan #USMediation #SouthAsia #Geopolitics #MichaelKugelman #Ceasefire #MilitaryTensions #NuclearSecurity #Rawalpindi #Diplomacy #Trump #VPVance #Deescalation #CrisisResponse #USForeignPolicy #IndiaNews #PakistanNews #IndoPakTensions #BreakingNews #GlobalSecurity #WatchAndAct #USIndiaRelations #USPakistanPolicy #PeacePush #WashingtonDC #StrategicThreat #NuclearAlert #ConflictMediation #DefensePolicy #GeoStrategy Also Read Calm Returns To Border Regions As India-Pakistan Ceasefire Holds, First Peaceful Night In 19 Days :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/calm-returns-to-border-regions-as-india-pakistan-ceasefire-holds-first-peaceful-night-in-19-days-4150855.html?ref=DMDesc Operation Sindoor: How India's Swift Military Precision Crippled Pakistan's War Machinery :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/operation-sindoor-rogue-state-rattled-pakistan-gets-a-taste-of-india-s-iron-resolve-4150793.html?ref=DMDesc India's Precision Strikes on Eight Pakistani Military Bases Lead to Peace Negotiations :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/indias-attacks-on-pakistan-military-facilities-peace-efforts-011-4150787.html?ref=DMDesc
