> India will only be a true democracy when Hinduism, which manifests in the caste system and brahmanic supremacy, will be annihilated.

I have no words.

Does the caste system still exist in India?

Yes. Many will deny it and say the new generation practices it less. If there is a decrease it is minimal.

It gets really bad when it is exported. See the recent HN post (or actual court case) re caste discrimination https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24552047.

Yes, very much. Locally in northern india higher castes like Jatt Brahmin are vocal & expressive about their higher caste. Same in central & other parts of India.

I feel like there's an entire side to this story that isn't being captured.
