>"Oh look at those poor backward indians!!" Well, most of the rich people I know had rich parents.
Yes. But those indians in favor of the caste system remain "backward" - it's not just something like poverty keeping the lower castes back and the rich getting an extra advantage over others to have their kids be rich.
It adds a further layer of pure discrimination akin to very heavy racism.
Imagine the poor considered not only poor, but inferior human beings -- and not allowed (or accepted by "civilized" upper caste people, when legal) to do many things even if they have the money to do them.
