Evidence of Caste Discrimination in the UK revealed
Equality and Human Rights Commission publishes Caste in Britain reports
Two reports published in the UK confirm that caste discrimination “cannot be tolerated and should be included in the protections against discrimination and harassment provided in the Equality Act 2010” and comment that the proposed sunset clause, “for a non-discrimination ground is legally without precedent and goes against this key differential”

Caste discrimination and harrassment in Great Britain (Government Equalities Office Report)
Caste discrimination and harassment has not been explicitly covered by British discrimination legislation. However, the Equality Act 2010 includes the provision that, by order of a Minister, caste may be treated as an aspect of race. This research was commissioned to help inform the Government whether to exercise this power. The research sought to identify whether caste discrimination and harassment in relation to aspects covered by discrimination legislation (i.e. work,education and the supply of goods and services) exists in Britain. Evidence suggesting such discrimination and harassment was found.
