Indian-American woman supporting affirmative action lawsuit against Harvard, UNC terms US Supreme Court ruling as historic

New York, Jul 1 (PTI) An Indian-American woman, who fought against discrimination against Asians in colleges and universities in this country, has described the US Supreme Court ruling to strike down affirmative action as “historic”.

Manga Anantatmula stood strong alongside Edward Blum of Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) and as a board member of Asian American Coalition for Education (AACE) since 2015 in the lawsuit against Asian discrimination.

Anantatmula relentlessly represented the Indian community presenting discriminatory policies of Harvard University and the University of North Carolina to the Department of Education and the Trump Administration to bring justice to Asian students, a press release said.
