I can understand both viewpoints. Fundamentally, I agree with the first. #Caste has to be annihilated. I grew up in a #caste society in India and this was in New Delhi - the capital city. Talking about #caste was common. #Reservation was a very very sticky issue. My (faulty) perception as a child was that I didn't get into an #IIT because some undeserving person took my seat.

Having met and worked with #Dalit #Bahujan people since, I couldn't have been more wrong. And, I am ashamed.

There are two main viewpoints:
1. People are excited - caste has been a complex social structure that has persisted for thousands of years for a majority population of the world. These are members of the #Indian #Bahujan population in the US.

2. People fear that this legislation will further the stigma immigrants already face. These are #Hindus and other #Indians.
