In the US slavery was outlawed over 200 years ago and we still suffer with the socioeconomic consequences of it to this day, and for many days to come. To say the caste system was done away with 20 years ago and think it doesn't have a strong influence today I think is folly. I say that having no experience with India but knowing precedence strongly implies this to be the case.

In the USA, slavery was outlawed in 1865, with the end of the US civil war.

whoops, definitely my mistake on exact time frame there (early vs mid-late 1800's), but we'll just say 150 years ago then.
