holy crap dude. read a book or something about India. India has class related problems because of economic disparity and caste (in ALL religions) does play a role but not central to it. It is akin to racism problem in USA, outlawed but will take some time to fully go away. Do not confuse it with dalit oppression. Dalits are as ministers in democratic process, film stars, athletes, in military and top institutes. What are your news sources about India ? I am worried you are being misled by agenda based reporting. Block NYT and WaPo posting on India right away for a better understanding of the country.
