Caste in America #2

The World

We continue our series on caste and how it affects people here in the US.  Today, reporter Kavita Pillay looks at her parents’ experience as an inter-caste immigrant couple, and also goes to a convention in Chicago for people of her father’s caste. Pillay and The World’s Rupa Shenoy talk about how caste in India lives on among the American-born children of Indian immigrants.
