As a non-Indian person living in the US, I have wondered about this.
What role does caste still play in the year 2020? And, specifically, in middle-class society in the US and in India? Does it play any role in tech companies in India?
- eqtn 6y agoTech, Startups where I have worked had no such discrimination Marriage, If it's an arranged marriage 99.9% of the time, bride and groom will be of same caste.
- pseudonymousgun 6y agoIt still exists in 2020. People who live in cities at least don't face it directly - its always indirect, implicit, subtle and ruthless. People who live in Tier-2, Tier-3 cities and in villages / panchayats - the caste based discrimination is very obvious and explicit. People wear their (upper) caste as a badge of honor all the while discriminating lower caste people openly with no consequences, although the Indian constitution considers all citizens equal.
