Seems a bit extreme. Even questioning whether caste discrimination in the US or Google is a large problem is enough to get you lumped into Holocaust denial territory.

What makes discrimination bad is the arbitrary nature. If you don't know the arbitrary classifications of groups, and you're making decisions on something tangible that presumably affects the person's skill set, then is it discrimination if it correlates with some arbitrary distinction you're not aware of?

The problem was clearly stated to be discrimination from other Indians against lower class Indians, NOT white managers unknowingly discriminating against low class Indians.

The efforts from the article made it sound like its an education effort. Presumably the parties discriminating are very much aware of the class distinction so education might not be the right call, more enforcement of existing anti-discrimination policies. Or throw the decisions to unbiased third parties.
