Lol, the majority of Indians especially in the west are upper-caste Hindus. The funny thing is they say all progressiveness but support Hindu nationalist like Modi and RSS, make comments like the sh*t you mentioned but in reality have high caste pride and view non-Hindus as mlechas. It is also partly due to the colonial baggage of west of west, India is given a free pass and it's funny that even during colonial rule these upper castes were the ones who most benefitted.
