> I have seen South Indian promote, hire etc other South Indians

That has nothing to do with Caste... obviously everyone from south india isn't in the same caste

North and South indians have completely different languages, foods, cultures, etc.

People hire people who are similar to them... hence south indians hiring south indians.

Having every indian fill out their caste in their job application doesn't solve that issue.

No. I'm saying that's the issue that needs to be tackled.

Having every indian fill out their Caste on a form doesn't address the actual issue.
