That would be because casteism is deeply tied to hinduism. You can't criticize it, without also implicitly criticizing the other. What is the context that would make this okay?

That is an insincere take. You are confusing varna system with casteism which became an issue later. It is not a Hindu problem but South Asia issue where muslims and Christians allow follow it, apart from discriminating against infidels and non believers
People complaining to HR about a talk that examines their unfair privelege and nepotism? Color me surprised :O
If X has been marginalizing Y throughout history and you belong to X class then its possible that you might be uncomfortable to hear the history and find it anti-X. But that doesn’t invalidate the struggle of Y right?

Note: I'm not saying there isn't caste bias. I'm saying that articles like these are shamelessly lying about what happened.

The Washington Post does not like India or Hinduism.
They don't like Modi and BJP for sure. But if you're drawing equality between these and India or Hinduism, you're kinda implicitly asserting that the things that are problematic with the former stem from the latter.

Modi is just a contemporary leader. The Washington Post's hatred goes much deeper.
That Washington Post article is lying (or being extremely disingenuous) to take advantage of outsiders without context of the situation.
