I hate it. It's why you have a lot of immigrant Indian men up-and-coming in the US Republican party and US conservatives in general.
Indian conservatism is just as bullshit if not moreso than US conservatism.

What makes this meme even better is the guy in the picture, Shah Rukh Khan, is a legend in Bollywood. Indian Tom Cruise. I'm pretty sure he has written in his contracts that all close ups require a fan in his face to make it look like his hair is gently blowing in the wind.

It's not racism of you believe those people were born into a lower caste because of their actions in a previous life. It is their punishment and thus you should treat them like shit!
So exaclty what he said
It's not socially acceptable anywhere in the urban places but in rural places it can a quite a problem.
I have lived my entire life in a urban city without any discrimination whatsoever, but I have also heard of rural places where they would literally burn people alive for intercaste marriage.
One of the main reasons it's not extinct yet is because people love to take "pride" in their caste. There are plenty of songs dedicated to "jatt" people, people of a higher caste. "Khatris" are often glorified in movies for fighting. You can see the problem is same as if white people started making songs on "being white and proud" and Britishers claiming victory in ww2 because they were "white". It's absurd and I have felt the pain but I am thankful for the present situation and I suppose it's better than being burnt alive haha.
Yes there is reservation and that's absurd too, imagine if "black" people were allowed reservation for jobs in government.
I may be wrong but i think it exists in some universities ( student wise). I vaguely remember several article about it
Not racism. They're the same race. It's a class system where your future occupation is set in stone at birth based on your lineage. You can literally be born and your only future career prospect is becoming a latrine cleaner.
It's more like Hindu thingy. Other cultures with heavy Hindu influence also have similar caste system.
Technically it's bigotry since it's Indians hating other Indians, but yes, India has a lot of problems and those in power mostly ignore them.
"Bigotry" is an umbrella term. Racial prejudice is a type of bigotry.
