Caste Legislation<br />
It further adds that ‘ Our thanks also go to<br />
Hon Bob Blackman MP, Chair of the APPG for<br />
British Hindus and the Hindu Parliamentarians<br />
and community leaders, who stepped forward<br />
to teach the community about Parliamentary<br />
processes and who guided and supported our<br />
forays into the arcane waters of statutory legislation.<br />
Finally on behalf of the Hindu Temples<br />
of the UK, we are grateful to PM Rt Hon<br />
Theresa May, her Government and Secretary<br />
of State Rt Hon Sajid Javid for arriving at an<br />
entirely just conclusion.’<br />
Statement from Prakash Shah, Anti Caste<br />
Legislation Committee:<br />
The government’s decision came after it<br />
consulted whether the legislation’s duty should<br />
be enacted or whether only the intervening<br />
case law, through which the courts had already<br />
read ‘caste’ into the Act’s ‘ethnic group’ provision,<br />
should be retained. In so doing, it misleadingly<br />
presented the choice as being<br />
between the two options. The source of this<br />
choice probably lies in the suggestion by<br />
prominent Hindu lawyers that the coming<br />
online of recent case should allow the legislative<br />
duty to slide. Among these are Manoj<br />
Ladwa, informally Prime Minister Modi’s<br />
attaché for British affairs who campaigned for<br />
the London Mayor’s electoral contest, and<br />
Jayesh Jotangia, who leads the secretariat for<br />
the All Party Parliamentary Group for British<br />
Hindus.<br />
The signal was given at high levels that well<br />
positioned Hindus would be satisfied with the<br />
ending of the legislative duty, while the case<br />
law could be retained without attracting opposition.<br />
The Government latched on to the plan,<br />
buying time enough for the case law to be<br />
finalised.<br />
It is clear from Shah’s above quote that the<br />
British pronouncement to reach the repeal<br />
decision was connected to PM Narendra Modi.<br />
Statement from Equality and Human Rights<br />
Commission :<br />
Victims of caste discrimination will continue<br />
to have limited legal protection by the government<br />
ruling out a change in the law and<br />
restricting the scope of protection to what can<br />
be interpreted through case law. The government<br />
has missed a crucial opportunity to<br />
improve legal clarity and has taken a step back<br />
by looking to repeal the duty to include caste as<br />
an aspect of race in the Equality Act 2010. This<br />
is inconsistent with the UK’s international<br />
obligations to provide for separate and distinct<br />
protection for caste in our legislation. While<br />
we welcome the government’s commitment to<br />
produce guidance for employers, service<br />
providers and landlords on the sort of conduct<br />
that would be unlawful under the Equality Act,<br />
it does not replace the need for separate and<br />
distinct protection against caste discrimination<br />
in the law.<br />
I issued a further statement :<br />
The present Tory government not only lost<br />
its moral authority but holds parliament in contempt<br />
that you can see the way it manages<br />
Brexit. British parliament passed the caste law<br />
to protect victims of caste<br />
discrimination and empowered minister of<br />
the crown to implement that decision not to<br />
repeal that decision. The government sat on<br />
that legislation for 5 years and now rides<br />
roughshod over parliaments decision.<br />
The Tory governments in the past had<br />
expressed to abolish human rights and with it<br />
the EHRC . It lies in their natural instinct to<br />
stem the flow towards equality and human<br />
rights in general.<br />
The EHRC announcement did the honourable<br />
thing to uphold the principle of human<br />
rights and in particular Equality by declaring<br />
support for caste discrimination protection.<br />
Our campaign to outlaw caste discrimination<br />
remains unfinished business.<br />
Thank you for your time.
