Yes. I'm Indian, lower-caste (not Dalit) with a surname that does not reveal it, working in India. One of my most vivid memories is hearing colleagues at my first job (a large multinational conglomerate) casually use caste slurs (ch*mar) in my presence. Ever since, I never enter discussions about politics or religion. I keep my cards close to my chest.
