Pandits clash with program over isolation and pay in Fairfield
Pandits brought to the United States under religious visas faced violence as rocks were thrown at a pandit’s truck during protests about efforts to remove a leader. Officials cite a pay dispute, with each pandit earning 200 dollars a month of which 150 goes to family in India, while living costs rise. Residents and students question the restricted freedom and isolation methods, including a 10 foot fence and limited field trips, amid calls for transparency and better treatment.
