The sadder/funnier part is, most highly educated Phds etc get hung up on caste mostly because (a) They would rather not argue with their parents about these things (b) Arranged marriage is the easiest way for them to find a partner The silver lining in this cloud is that, in my observation, most of them don't consider other castes to be inferior in any way. They just don't want to deal with the inconvenience of arguing with their parents, especially when they are dependent on parents for finding them a bride. It's a pretty faint silver lining though :)
