Exactly, but note how everyone associates the word “caste” with “Hindu” or “india”. Makes the problem worse and nothing good can come out of it.

The issue is that Americans with half-baked knowledge think that all Indians have a caste assigned to them, or that India has a national level caste allocation policy. For Americans who hate India, this gives them more ammo to hate us.
