No, you cannot tell what caste a person is by the way they talk. There are 800+ languages and thousand of dialects in India. On an average the dialect changes every 7 kilometer is any direction. You cannot also visually tell the difference between high/low caste.
The best indicator is last name and hence social strata (centuries of exploitation has left them 'backward'). There are plenty of 'backward caste' people in high position and extremely rich.
Though racism and casteism have similar effects they are not the same
- paloaltokid 10y ago> No, you cannot tell what caste a person is by the way they talk. That is your belief and experience. I was trying to point out that some people from India feel that the opposite is true. I have no knowledge of the caste system other than what people have told me from their own experience of being Indian.
