Ever get an offhanded comment from another co-worker (indian) that says something like, yeah I don't know about this guy. What if THAT was him thinking about the entire CASTES thing!?!?!?! I mean that's often enough to pass up entire people

So would that co-worker be able to guess the caste of the candidate during a 30minute phone interview ?

Casted are guessable simply by seeing someone’s name.
