> These kids (huge majority from upper castes) are treated with too much deference at home by the parents, family and society. Since they are served well at home by servants ... Do not know which area you are from. But in practice most of the traditional "Upper caste" people are not rich enough for having servants. Their air of superiority comes from mere name of the caste and tribal feeling, but upper caste people will be dime a dozen in any given area and grow up like middle class kids.

That sounds suspiciously like the behavior you see out of white supremacists from poor households: the mere "name of the caste" is sufficient to impart a sense of superiority.

I think both can be true. Take melanin content, any other arbitrary physical attribute, or tribal identity: we know that leads to real -ists and -isms. Independently, give kids more than others, like the rigged Monopoly game and watch as they take more shared food. Combine these two patterns together, and it's easy to develop truly repugnant, entitled, greedy, mean people with permanent insouciance and shit-eating grins.
