Leaving aside evidence and dealing only with principle, suppose there is one case of an employer discriminating against a worker or a would-be worker because they do not belong to a caste or to the right caste.

Does she agree it is part of the ethnicity, is unfair and should be within the scope of the Bill as a matter of principle?
