This film is dedicated to the memory of Milind Makwana (1975\u20132023), a courageous American Hindu activist and engineer. Just days before his passing, he spoke passionately against California\u2019s SB403, warning of the harm it posed to both Dalits and the broader Hindu community. His sudden death left the American Hindu community in shock. CasteGate \u2014 The Untold Story honors his courage, conviction, and unwavering commitment to truth.<\/em><\/pre>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
