    | The California State University System professors argue that naming
    | caste as a protected characteristic unfairly targets Hindus and
    | wrongly suggests that oppression and discrimination are among
    | Hinduism's core tenets. Sunil Kumar and Praveen Sinha contend in the
    | complaint, filed Monday, that Hinduism is about compassion and
    | equanimity -- principles directly opposed to a discriminatory caste
    | system.
    |
    | "We fully and vehemently oppose all forms of prejudice and
    | discrimination," Kumar said in a statement announcing the federal
    | lawsuit, previously reported by Religion News Service. "But CSU's
    | Interim Policy singles out all Indian origin and Hindu staff and
    | students solely because we are Indian and Hindu. This by its very
    | definition is discrimination and a denial of our basic civil
    | rights."

    Will Trump invite Narendra Modi to serve as a Trump 2024 campaign
    surrogate?
