No one asks for caste on a US Visa application or a US college application and neither does the US state department grant the visa based on caste. In fact about 50% of college/university seats are reserved for lower castes (affirmative action).

There seems to be a misconception and a very narrow view. Yes, some very visible companies have Indian CEO's. NVIDIA has a CEO of Taiwanese descent and the same is true obviously for TSMC. I think if you did a poll across most mid to large companies you will find that this assertion is incorrect. A very small percentage of the total CEO population is Asian or Indian. So, while the Economist likes to bring caste into the picture it's actually a non-issue for being a CEO.
- throwaway2037 5y agoFor almost all of its history, the CEO of TSMC was Morris Chang (張忠謀). He was born in Ningbo, Zhejiang province, China. This was before the civil war and the separation of Taiwan. He lived and worked in the United States for many years, then was invited by the Taiwanese gov't to start/run TSMC. I have no idea what his passport situation was like, as his family reportedly escaped to Hongkong just before the founding of PRC. Like Nvidia, the CEO of AMD, Lisa Su, is also a Taiwanese immigrant.
