  • CasteFiles Makes FOIA Request to CRD for Data on CA vs Hate; Urges Caution

    CasteFiles Founder Richa Gautam said, “As far as Hinduism is concerned, CRD has been under the scanner in many different forums as an agency that violated the fundamental rights of Hindu Americans during the infamous Cisco Caste case where two Hindu American managers Sundar Iyer and Ramana Kompella were wrongly targeted for alleged Caste Discrimination. They proved their innocence and forced CRD to dismiss the case against them. The CRDs dubious past is concerning as it is allegedly guilty of many egregious violations of fundamental rights, constitutional rights, and prosecutorial abuse. This has been extensively documented on CasteGate.org a fact-based website.” Click here for more information: https://castefiles.com/castefiles-makes-foia-request-to-crd-for-data-on-ca-vs-hate-urges-caution

  • Social Justice Advocate Tags Academia for Using Caste to Erase Indian Civilization

    Hinduism, since Vedic times, has evolved with contributions from diverse communities within. I feel proud that communities like the one I belong to have greatly contributed to Hinduism. It may be ancient Vedic sages such as Valmiki and Vyasa who were born into non-Brahmin families, or one of numerous later day spiritual figures such as Janabai, Ravidas, Sajan Kasai, Tukaram, Gora Kumbhar, Chokha Mela, and Nirmala Mahar, women and men who came from Dalit and “lower caste” communities like my own, have helped Hinduism grow, rejuvenate, and reform.

    Social Justice Advocate Tags Academia for Using Caste to Erase Indian Civilization
    As a Social Justice warrior, Sandeep Dedage has been advocating for inclusive representation of the rich tapestry of Hinduism, with its profound teachings and diverse cultural heritage shaped by the contributions of various communities and social backgrounds. The APNADB volunteer sounded a warning bell in 2016 about academia’s attempts to erase Indian civilization, using misplaced characterizations of caste in textbooks. Eight years hence, the weaponization of colonial caste tropes has not stopped. Its manifestation is tangible in academia enhanced further with mandatory Liberated Ethnic Studies [LES] , undermining the cultural and spiritual identity of the Hindu community. Shri Dedage examines the suppression of historical narratives, and the urgent need to protect and preserve the contributions made by all communities within Hinduism.
