I have no words.

Does the caste system still exist in India?

Yes. Many will deny it and say the new generation practices it less. If there is a decrease it is minimal.

It gets really bad when it is exported. See the recent HN post (or actual court case) re caste discrimination https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24552047.

Yes, very much. Locally in northern india higher castes like Jatt Brahmin are vocal & expressive about their higher caste. Same in central & other parts of India.

Yes. https://reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/caste-not-dead-su... https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/dalit-family-lives-gro... https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/hyderabad/hyderabad... https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/denied-access-barbersh...?

I feel like there's an entire side to this story that isn't being captured.

Your hatred for Hinduism is shocking! I am utterly disappointing to read this in HN (a tech news discussion). Just for your info, all people regardless of religions have caste in India including Sikhs, Chritsians and muslims . Define "brahmanic supremacy". Brahmins are a group of people living by conducting temple rituals and they are mostly poor. The politicians are using religion as a weapon for increasing their votes. Can we stop using religion when discussing here ?

Every dominant religion oppresses. In India, Hinduism takes that honor.

Every dominant majority oppresses - doesn't have to be religion - see China.

I guess then its high time, governments hand over control of Hindu temples.

Shall we correct it to "Every dominant ideology oppresses"?. What religion is doing oppression in China?
