I was wondering if caste was more like class than race. If a baby born to Dalit parents was adopted by a Brahmin family, as an adult, would they be considered Dalit, Brahmin, or not quite either? But i suppose class and race are intertwined anyway. If you peer closely at panel B here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6822619/figure/F4/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6822619/figure/... You can see that the 'priestly' castes have, on average, more "steppe pastoralist" heritage. If i understand correctly, this is a fossil record of Indo-Europeans moving into India and taking over thousands of years ago. Perhaps a bit like how people with Norman ancestors are still a bit better off than those with Saxon ancestors in England today: http://neilcummins.com/Papers/Clark_Cummins_2013.pdf http://neilcummins.com/Papers/Clark_Cummins_2013.pdf
