Despite its name, the newspaper I have linked to has long been a left and liberal leaning one and is a bullwark against the current right-wing government and temperament spreading through the country.
Is this something more prevalent in India than Pakistan? It makes sense that there'd be more cultural crossovers in India given the demographics.

You wouldn’t have seen it because that kind of behavior in Pakistan is reserved for Ahmedis.
That's not to say this interfaith caste constructs don't exist, but I've never heard an in-person mention of them in all my life. I'm genuinely curious how widespread they actually are. Were they something that had more weight back in the 16th century, maybe? Conversely, I have heard Indian friends discuss caste discrimination in places like Microsoft.
