There are entire books dismantling the boring old colonial-narrative around Caste (which amusingly gathered pace when Hindus started actively opposing the British). Please read if you dare have an open mind. The crime-rates don't bear it out; the historical documentation is non-existent; and the conceptual clarity is pretty much non-existent.
What does exist though is shrill propaganda, harking to the old Christian-Protestant narrative about 'evil pagans' being misled by a 'satanic priestly' class.
Anyone living in India knows how ridiculous this is when so-called Dalits have state-sanctioned preferential discrimination for everything from education to bureaucracy, when most leaders today are from so-called Dalits, and when even vast empires in the past were created and run by the same people. For the record, the current (arguably, most popular in history) PM is also a "Dalit", and his right hand man is a Jain.
In fact, there are even reports by colonial British auditors (white ones, since Indians are "uncivilized, non-European), from the 19th century which document native village schools filled with Shudras. Here's a summary, but you should be able to find the source material if you like [1].

The father of the CM in a large state of India, asked 'Brahmins' to go back to Volga because of the unsubstantiated Aryan-Invasion theory that fuels this. The Dravidian party goons resort to cutting the pluck of hair, and the sacred thread when confronted intellectually. The Indian state basically denies Hindus the right to either run temples, and takes over its wealth and destroys native culture unhingedly.
It's extremely irresponsible for people who have no clue what BS they are spouting, to make the situation worse simply for some brownie points. The shallowness of such law-suits was already proved beyond doubt in the UK [2]. India has extremely draconian laws already whereby any 'Dalit' taking offence and making a complaint lands a person in Jail indefinitely.
What more do you occidental lot want ? To send the Brahmins to the gas chambers ? You have the entire sub-continent of Anglo-slaves, now that colonization has come full circle with the Indian state and has successfully destroyed Indian languages and cultures.

Unsuprising that the Western press and academia has the nuance of a brick, perhaps because their own history is so grotesquely checkered.
