Privileged people just fail to see rampant caste discrimination existing in the entire country. The discrimination you are talking about is the overt one - like in cases where Dalits are prevented from using wells. But covert discrimination exists even in the most prestigious institutions in India [1]. The upper castes do not cite caste as a reason to discriminate, but use other reasons. That way, the upper castes can observe discrimination without being called out for being politically wrong. Lower castes are selectively branded as under-performing in academia, government and private organizations. Rentals are denied to dalits even in Bengaluru and Mumbai citing 'non-vegetarianism' [2] (an easy way to discriminate). And there are upper caste groups playing politics to deny career growth to lower caste people in almost every institution. Denial of caste based discrimination is at obscene levels. The truth is that lower castes get discriminated against, even in urban areas, no matter what their credentials or merits are.
