Caste harassment against Indian couple in Britain. WTF!

It is a love that crosses class boundaries and a religious divide but it was India's ancient caste system that allegedly cost a British couple their jobs, pride and prospects.

In the first case of its kind in the UK, Vijay Begraj, 32, and his wife Amardeep, 33, are claiming wrongful dismissal on the grounds their bosses discriminated against them because they are from different ends of the social spectrum.

The former law firm practice manager is from the Dalits or 'Untouchables', India's the lowest caste, while his wife, a solicitor, is from a higher caste called the 'Jats'.

After a four-year friendship blossomed in the workplace the pair decided to marry.

But a Birmingham employment tribunal was told yesterday that Mrs Begraj's health and career had suffered at the hands of Coventry-based solicitors Heer Manak ever since they became a couple. More...
