Recently, the California state legislature passed a bill that bans discrimination based on caste, a deeply entrenched system of social stratification originating from South Asia. Caste discrimination is a form of discrimination based on the social hierarchy, which is determined by a person’s birth. California has become the first in the United States to pass a bill banning caste discrimination, adding caste “as a form of ancestry protected under state civil rights law.”

Discrimination, in its many forms, could lead to many social issues. To gauge public opinion and share awareness on the matter, Real Research shared a survey on California banning caste-based discrimination. Here are the results from the survey:
