 The Hindu Council, The Hindu Forum and in the past the British Government, all claimed that an anti-caste discrimination legislation is unwarranted. Their reasoning is based on highly spurious and non-scholarly foundations.

In a paper titled 'Caste Discrimination: A Twenty-First Century Challenge for UK Discrimination Law?' published in the February 2009 edition of the Modern Law Review, Annapurna Waughray, an international lawyer, argues for the case of anti-caste legislation to be included in the UK legislation on various grounds, the legal argument being that not to do so would contravene the international law and agreements.
