'Caste training since childhood': Viral video claims 'Indian' harassed 'black' man in Texas, demanding his ID
Amid rising hatred against Indians in the US, a video went viral claiming that an Indian man harassed a black man and asked to see his ID in a Texas neighborhood. The identity of the men seen in the video was not established and it's not known when the altercation took place.
Several users on TikTok and X shared the video calling out this kind of racism.
In the video, apparently made by the black man, the other person could be seen coming out of his house and asking for his ID. The 'black' man, in turn, asked for the first person's ID. Both men agree to show their IDs to each other and also threaten each other to call the police. The 'black' man said it was his neighborhood and he was getting harassed in his area.
"I know that this is not your house," the first person told the second person to which the second person said it was indeed not his house, but he was from the same neighborhood.

"This is a protected neighbourhood and you can't be here," the first person said.
While nothing much is known about the incident or about its veracity, social media users concluded that the first person was an Indian and the second person was a black person -- from their accents.

Some users noted that the first person's wife was speaking in Tamil.
"This black man is in his own neighborhood walking and this other guy walks over from his house asking for his ID to see if he lives in the neighborhood all because he's black! If you don't see that racism is amping up you're blind! The Profiling and Stereotyping needs to stop," one wrote.
"Indians anywhere are pieces of s**t. It's been the caste training since childhood," another wrote.
"He has no right to demand for an ID unless he's a cop," a third user wrote.
"I don't get this -- even if the black guy is not from that neighborhood is there any issue with anyone walking on any public sidewalk in the US? What was the aim of the Indian dude?" another wrote.
Some social media users came in defense of the first person and said the 'black man' was at fault by entering a protected neighborhood.

Breaking news live updates: 4 people die in crash of medical transport plane on Navajo Nation in northern Arizona
07:06 (IST) Aug 06 Two 15-year-olds have been arrested in Washington in connection with the attempted carjacking and beating of one of the most prominent members of the Department of Government Efficiency, renewing calls from President Donald Trump for the federal government to seize control of the nation's capital. The victim, Edward Coristine, nicknamed 'Big Balls,' was among the most visible figures of Trump's DOGE, which was tasked with slashing federal bureaucracy. Coristine was assaulted around 3 a.m. Sunday in the city's Logan Circle neighborhood by a group of teenagers attempting to carjack him and a woman whom police identified as his significant other, according to authorities. The Metropolitan Police Department said the group approached the couple's car and made a comment about taking it. Coristine pushed the woman into the vehicle for safety and turned to confront the group. At least several of the teens then attacked him, police said, until officers patrolling nearby intervened. As officers moved toward the group, the teens fled on foot. Two 15-year-olds from Maryland were arrested on charges of unarmed carjacking, police said. The attack gave new fuel to long-standing Republican efforts to challenge Washington's autonomy, with Trump threatening to bypass local authority and impose direct federal control over the city.

SC cites ‘worst order' as it takes HC judge off criminal matters
The Supreme Court has directed that an Allahabad High Court judge be stripped of all criminal jurisdiction until his retirement and made to sit with a seasoned senior judge to understand the nuances of law, after finding his recent ruling to be one of the 'worst and most erroneous' orders encountered by the top court. The unusual direction, issued by a bench of Justices JB Pardiwala and R Mahadevan, came in a criminal matter where the high court judge, Justice Prashant Kumar, dismissed a plea seeking quashing of a criminal case based on what the apex court termed as a purely civil dispute. 'We are constrained to observe that the impugned order is one of the worst and most erroneous orders that we have come across in our respective tenures as judges of this Court... The judge concerned has not only cut a sorry figure for himself but has made a mockery of justice. We are at our wits' end to understand what is wrong with the Indian Judiciary at the level of High Court,' said the bench in its order on Monday, expressing grave dismay over the judge's conduct. It wondered whether such orders are passed on some extraneous considerations or it is sheer ignorance of law. 'Whatever it be, passing of such absurd and erroneous orders is something unpardonable,' stated the bench. The top court went on to direct the chief justice of the Allahabad High Court to immediately withdraw the present 'criminal determination' from the judge, and ensure he does not handle any criminal jurisdiction henceforth. 'We direct that the concerned judge shall not be assigned any criminal determination, till he demits office. If at all at some point of time, he is to be made to sit as a single judge, he shall not be assigned any criminal determination,' the bench ordered. Justice Kumar will retire in May 2029. It also urged the high court chief justice to assign the judge to sit on a division bench with a senior judge to guide him. 'The Chief Justice shall make the concerned judge sit in a Division Bench with a seasoned senior judge of the High Court,' stated the order. 'We have been constrained to issue directions…keeping in mind that the impugned order is not the only erroneous order of the concerned judge that we have looked into for the first time. Many such erroneous orders have been looked into by us over a period of time,' noted the court, indicating a pattern of concern regarding the judge's decisions. The court's directions, notably removing a sitting High Court judge from an entire category of judicial work, are rare and underscore the gravity with which the bench viewed the matter. The judgment came in an appeal against an order passed by Justice Kumar in May 2025, rejecting a plea to quash criminal proceedings in a complaint case. The dispute arose after Lalita Textiles, a small business, filed a criminal complaint against another firm, alleging non-payment of ₹7.23 lakh for supplied thread. Although a significant portion of the ₹52.34 lakh invoice had been paid, a balance remained unpaid. Lalita Textiles first attempted to register a first information report, but the police declined, stating it was a civil matter. The complainant then filed a criminal complaint, invoking Section 406 IPC (criminal breach of trust), which led to issuance of summons by a magistrate. The other firm, M/s Shikhar Chemicals, sought quashing of the summons before the high court, arguing that the matter was a contractual dispute involving recovery of money, which was a civil issue at its core. However, Justice Kumar refused to quash the proceedings, reasoning that since the complainant was a small business and lacked the resources to fight a long-drawn civil case, it should be allowed to pursue the criminal case to recover his dues. 'To be more precise, it would seem like good money chasing bad money,' he observed in the impugned order. The apex court took deep exception to these observations. 'Is it the understanding of the High Court that ultimately if the accused is convicted, the trial court would award him the balance amount? The observations recorded are shocking,' the bench held. Citing the impugned order, the bench added: 'It was expected of the High Court to know the well-settled position of law that in cases of civil dispute a complainant cannot be permitted to resort to criminal proceedings as the same would amount to abuse of process of law.' The bench highlighted that even the magistrate had failed to understand the fundamental legal distinction between a sale transaction and entrustment of goods, and thereby misapplied Section 406 of IPC. 'We are not taken by surprise with the magistrate exhibiting complete ignorance of law as regards the position of law…However, we expected at least the High Court to understand the fine distinction between the two offences and the necessary ingredients to constitute the offence of cheating and criminal breach of trust,' it said. The order added: 'The Judge has gone to the extent of saying that asking the complainant to pursue civil remedy for the purpose of recovery of the balance amount will be very unreasonable as civil suit may take a long time before it is decided and, therefore, the complainant should be permitted to institute criminal proceedings for the purpose of recovery of the balance amount.' Calling it an 'extremely sad day' for the judiciary, the Supreme Court exercised its extraordinary powers to set aside the high court's order without even issuing notice to the other side. The case has now been remanded to the Allahabad High Court to be heard afresh by a different judge, as chosen by the Chief Justice.
