I can understand that this is how those who participate in caste discrimination may justify it to themselves.

But, I do not see how in the US, that claim somehow makes its way around racial discrimination laws, where to someone not sharing that religious belief, it very much appears as though people are simply discriminating based on ancestry i.e. race.

I do not see why caste based discrimination should be legal given the current law, but high caste people have powerful positions in these important companies. They are politically connected. It may take a while for the case law and EEO machinery to put a stop to it.
