An Indian friend of mine several years ago explained it quite clearly to me: Who do you think has the resources to get an education, get an H1B, then travel halfway around the world? The guy whose parents are sleeping in the hallway?

Are you saying the US embassy in India discriminates based on caste when handing visas or the h1b process is discriminatory?

I think it is pretty obvious they mean that the pipeline of candidates for US work visas reflects the established societal privilege patterns.

I think the question is how much it (H1B) costs vs the person's disposable income, in addition to the cost of spending time pursuing it, having a place to do the paperwork, having a stable address and even a stable identity... I'm saying the people who make it to that embassy with the right paperwork are already highly filtered.
