it doesn't matter. caste discrimination is very similar to racial discrimination - of course, race, as well as caste, has no strict definition under law. in fact, i would go as far as to say race cannot possibly be defined in a way that is useful. to put it differently, if you don't actually belong to "race x", but fulfill someone's stereotype about "race x", you can still become a victim of racial discrimination. the exact nature of what race or caste is, doesn't matter at all - it's the intent to exclude people based on one's preconceived notions of caste/race that does.
