how hard would it be for a dalit to just lie? "I'm from X upper caste" , genuinely curious. Not that they have to but could they? Is there some cultural aspects that separate people of different castes that could be used to identify which caste a person is from?

There absolutely are, I'm no expert on it, but I imagine it would also be very stressful for the person creating a fabricated family identity. Imagine if you faked a thick Australian accent to get a job and then had to keep that up for years while at work, M-F. Not that it's accent based but the same degree of difficulty.
