The basic problem is that hierarchical organization of the society where a human's worth is determined by his birth is a core classical Hindu (i.e., "Brahmanical") value; egalitarianism is not.
Either Hindus must rewrite the theology of Hinduism to accept an interpretation of the concept of varNa in a way that is concordant with humanistic and egalitarian ideals, or Hindus must accept that Hinduism will be reduced to a minority religion in India. I can't imagine why anyone would agree to be part of a religion that formally considers him or her as a lower class human by birth than certain other humans in the same religion.
