> Indians will not ask outright what caste you are.

My team lead asked me in a Teams call, lol. At that point, he doesn't even know what I look like (because of covid, and we don't do video calls).

(I am not OBC though)

> Higher-caste Indians will also search social media accounts to ascertain a job candidate’s religious views or diet.

I don't believe this at all. Feels like overexaggerating.

Never underestimate how petty people can be. We've seen plenty of times in the past decade where people doing hiring will examine social media of candidates (on the extreme end even demand handing over of your phone phone during an interview). So it's hardly a stretch to think people with such views could overlap with people who harbor caste prejudice.

Yeah it is probably bullshit.

This is absolutely a thing and I have witnessed it. And I'm not even Indian.
