As far as I know (from some coworkers) they do. But last name is only the first step/flag in identifying to which caste person belongs. Sorry, I don't remember exact details, but there some additional steps like special clothes I think?

Yeah, I think the Brahmins have a vest you can feel on the shoulder, so they do a shoulder grab to act close.

Can't you wear the special clothes without belonging to the specific caste?
