While what you say is true, the caste system has generation-spanning impact. I’m not drawing parallels here, but as an example – not too dissimilar from the generation-spanning impacts of slavery. This is a sloppy article, and I do find the article’s assertion tenuous. There is an ecosystem of educated Indian elite[1]. Perhaps Brahmin’s are overrepresented as a group in that, but I’m not so sure. There are certainly some underrepresented groups, but the caste system isn’t binary. It’d be interesting to see some unbiased data. [1] Relatively speaking. While more privileged than a large majority of Indians, a lot of them come from modest middle-class backgrounds (by Indian standards, back in 70s, 80s pre-liberalization India), leveraged their privilege of education through sheer grit and work.
