I am of Indian origin, in the Tech industry and from what India classifies as a scheduled caste.
This is not a caste divide. It is a class divide, it just happens their background is poor. The problem is not caste, its the discrimination.
Also fun fact, there is no translation of the word Caste in India's scriptures. The word Caste comes from Castus, a Portuguese term used by Portuguese invaders into India and then adopted by the British. After 1857 when the richer parts of society refused to support the British, they gave certain groups a "false sense of pride" with high ranking positions to divide a wedge. Funnily it came back and bit them when the whole of India united against this propoganda.
