I agree that the caste issues are orthogonal to the others and that these three kinds of poverty come close to encompassing the problem being discussed.
And if this were to be the complete picture, why can't it express the sheer inhumanity of being of a low caste in India?
Take the case of a "drug-addicted homeless person working as a prostitute to feed their addiction" in Toronto - this person arrived here by their own choices (some amount of agency), but you can be born into that situation (with the awareness that your children will follow the same path) in India.

You can't worry about societal respectability when you have no basic human dignity. Perhaps that is a fourth kind of poverty.
