    Thenmozhi Soundarajan for ThePrint.IN on whether Donald Trump will
    deploy Narendra Modi as a surrogate in 2024: <URL:https://theprint.in/pageturner/excerpt/we-conducted-us-1st-caste-survey-got-slurs-saw-dalit-silence-1-group-had-existential-crisis/1164165/>
    | Although caste discrimination and caste-based violence in the United
    | States are not as widespread and overt as in South Asia, they exist
    | here as well. In 2015 Equality Labs conducted the first-ever survey
    | about caste in the U.S. I worked with the indefatigable Dr. Maari
    | Zwick-Maitreyi, who helmed this landmark contribution to Dalit
    | feminist scholarship in North America. We decided to conduct this
    | survey after repeatedly hearing Dalit Americans talk about the caste
    | discrimination they had experienced, whereas dominant-caste South
    | Asian Americans said caste wasn't an issue.

    Has Bill Stepien asked legacy American proles their preference for
    importing .IN's ethnic and tribal politics into .US workplaces?
