dna: In a major victory to 4 lakh dalits in the UK, a bill that will outlaw discrimination on the basis of caste in Britain has received royal assent from the Queen.
The Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Bill made history in Parliament this week when the House of Commons bowed to reassure from the House of Lords to include caste as an aspect of race as part of the Equality Act 2010.
“Very strong views have been expressed in the Lords on this matter and we have reconsidered our position and agreed to introduce caste-related legislation,” Equalities Minister Jo Swinson told the Commons on Tuesday, marking a major government U-turn on the issue.
Wow! Allah bless the Queen of England.
