You are confused abiut quite a few things:
- a few poor upper caste families does not diminish the wealth and privilege of the vast majority of that caste
- the majority of INDIANS live in poverty so obviously a lot of upper caste Indians do too
- living in poverty or not isn't the only advantage of being upper caste
Lower caste people can literally be murdered and the police won't even care. Poverty is one thing, but being untouchable in India can literally mean you are outside the law with the same rights as a rock on the ground. Not formally of course, but in practice. Watch this video for a sample of someone who had the luck to even get his story heard: https://www.reddit.com/r/unitedstatesofindia/comments/m6s3ey/if_this_is_not_about_caste_then_what_is_it/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share https://www.reddit.com/r/unitedstatesofindia/comments/m6s3ey...
- chakkepolja 5y ago> a few poor upper caste families does not diminish the wealth and privilege of the vast majority of that caste Majority of upper castes don't have the wealth to sit on plane. Few of them do. Funny thing is often Brahmins (preistly caste) and warrior castes have less wealth and influence than merchant castes.
