Indian-American born and brought up in the States.

We never discussed caste. It was a non-issue.

Prime Minister Modi is also Low Caste. That didn't stop him from being elected.

Having said that caste discrimination is a problem in the UK in fact I know one of the MP's that helped add caste discrimination to the Equality Act 2010.

Of course this is being opposed by "community leaders".

Interesting a woman from my home town was recently abused for being low caste. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-38663143

It would be interesting to beak down H1B's by caste

That does not stop him for leveraging it for his political gains either.
