  1.   Dear Esteemed Subscribers, In the first month of 2024, Castefiles con?nues its victory laps that began in October 2023 with the SB403 win. This month Castefiles' raised objec?ons to a dubious caste survey at the University of Wisconsin - Our pushback resulted in the unscien?fic and biased survey ques?onnaire being taken off the online platform after we weighed in with a series of complaints While the move has been defeated, for now, we detect an incipient trend toward ac?va?ng academic institutions to generate caste papers and research. At Castefiles, we're tracking this trend closely -intervening every single ?me on behalf of our community. This month we con?nue our much-needed review of the incisive body of knowledge generated at Castecon 2023. It would also contain ac?onable points for our community members, on how they can actively intervene in the caste debate and make a difference. Castefiles works on a shoestring budget with a passionate driven and talented team researching for our think tank, advocating against harmful caste narratives, and fighting legal cases. Our efforts are possible only because of your generosity in backing us with your tax-exempt dollars. Thank you for your sustained support as we plan to expand our ac?vi?es to serve the Indian American community's interests. Wishing you and your family a great 2024.
