US Congressman Brandon Gill criticized a Patidar community volleyball match in the US as “casteist,” warning against “foreign class allegiances.” Indian-Americans strongly opposed his remarks, accusing him of fueling anti-India and anti-Hindu sentiment. Gill’s comments targeted Dylan Patel, a Gujarati founder, for praising the community event. Patel and others defended the gathering as a cultural reunion, not caste-based discrimination. Hindu American Foundation’s Suhag Shukla condemned Gill’s statement, highlighting the dangers of misusing the term “caste.” Gill, known for controversial views, also plans a bill to put Donald Trump’s face on the $100 bill.
