Hi, yes I am an Indian and its astounding to me that you as an Indian whose life, education, wealth, quality of life, access to healthcare, choice of life partner, friends, status in society, place of residence is all determined by your caste being completely oblivious to it.

You have been so internalized into the caste system that you count only explicit and physically hurting ones as forms of discrimination. You are either incredibly privileged possibly a Brahmin or you're ignorant so much that you deny the suffering of more than a billion people as outright false!!

Yes. Lots and lots. The easiest ones to identify is food preference. The upper castes ask you if you are a vegetarian. (Because they consider vegetarian = pure. Meat eaters are impure.)

Also caste determines my job, education, wealth, where I live, where I pray, who I marry and many more.

There are ways to find it from the ornaments and things, clothes you wear. It would be simply called 'tradition'. Caste segregation is the way of life here in India and there are so many different and easy ways to figure out another Indian's caste.
