Sudesh Rani says she was verbally abused due to her caste while shopping
"They started calling me a low caste Chamar, a dirty b!tch...
At that time, I got a bit frightened, I thought 'no, no :this can't be happening.'"

The caste system originates in India but many British Asians
say they suffer caste discrimination in the UK

India's caste system is among the world's oldest surviving forms of social stratification.
However, some British Asians say they still experience discrimination due to their caste.
So, why are so many Hindu bodies in the UK opposed to this being made illegal ?

Dem bobbician bhais will avoid so Maps, here's the (drum roll,please)BBC !
It is described as a hierarchy of four varnas - or caste categories -
found in Hindu scriptures, with :
Brahmins (priests and teachers) at the top
followed by kshatriyas (rulers and soldiers)
vaishyas (merchants and traders)
shudras (labourers and artisans).
Beneath them all are the dalits - so-called "untouchables"
- who are completely excluded from society.
