This article is as bullshit at it can get with no proof and random catch phrases on the lines of "ohh blacks are hated in America". Truth is, there is absolutely no place for cast in any top Indian engineering colleges. Millennials and GenZ does not give a single fuck to what the cast of a person is. That too in IITs were 90% students come from middle or poor class of society and have similar lifestyle. There can always be one random incident but that does not mean that the entire community can be painted in same color.

Truth is some sections of American society do not want immigrants to work there and these articles are born from the same mindset. India is losing its caste based social norms as the years pass by much faster than America is losing Black are inferior mindset. Even political changes have come in India which has narrowed the caste lines to almost extinction.

This is a highly inaccurate comment. Caste lines are more alive than ever especially with the advent of social media.

Don't need to go to social media, just look at the number plates of the "upper class" folks

They usually plaster their caste names on the bike or number plate

Extinction??? Seriously??

I had two upper caste members in my Team. Both born after 1993.

How did I know they're upper caste?

They.always.reminded in every sentence

"in us Rajputs" or "in us Bramhins"

I have had 100s of member sin my team otherwise, some surnames which I've never heard before and yet I did not know their caste

Also these upper caste folks make groups based on their castes.

And they never let you forget which caste they belong to.

Every single conversation has to mention what "kulcha" they have back at home.

Caste system is reduced yes but it is not extinct.

Easiest way to see is how Political parties. Check who their top leaders/ministers are except the token Affirmative action hire.

I can confirm. There are very fringe sections left in the society which are still practicing caste based discrimination. To get more clicks, news websites try to project this small minority as the truth of the whole nation.

In that case entire country is fringe because I've seen cast discrimination everywhere. Including metro cities.
