I beg to differ on one point. I am a Christian from Kerala ( a Southern state). On most North Indian encounters, after a while, I start getting quizzed on what my ancestor's caste was. I eventually have to reveal that I have no clue, but we are General Category (not eligible for affirmative action - or reservation) and that sort of ends it usually. If they do not probe, may be they have already made up their mind, and have imagined the worst.
(I am not calling out North Indians. Keralites can make out my caste/denomination from my name)

I am also a convert and straight up tell them that my religion doesn't have the concept of a caste and end the matter there. It also helps that I changed my last name.
