HAF's Swami Venkataraman took part in this panel discussion, led by
WGBH News Senior Investigative Reporter Phillip Martin, about his recent series "Caste in America" at the WGBH Studio at the Boston Public Library.
In collaboration with the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, this multi-part examination explores the discrimination Indian immigrants face in the United States as a result of this ancient hierarchical system of human classification.
Martin led a conversation about the role of caste in the United States with Suraj Yengde, Laurence Simon, Kavita Pillay, Swami Venkataraman and Tarun Khanna.
