What is casteism? And how does it manifest in veganism? Anti-caste vegan advocate Rama (<a href="//instagram.com/ramavgan">@ramavgan</a>) joins Alisha to clarify the history and origins of the Hindu caste system, the problem with misattributing ethical veganism to Hinduism, and how to divest from casteism in the vegan sphere.
