She is sort of right. I mean, india isn't know for being big on social indicator. But than, its shit for everyone.
Casteism exists but its much more limited than these twitterati think. Unlike race, you can't really tell someone's caste just by looking at them (you can with there surname, but very few know how to do it).
However, the other commentators are also right. Unlike us, india has official affirmative policy for public education and government jobs. So there's isn't really a quota for brahmins. But since a lot of them are rich, they are the ones who end up in US.
That being said, Americans and American companies should stay away from this issue. This is not US where people just tweet shit at each other. When it comes to caste stuff, things get ugly pretty quickly.
She is not technically wrong. Even though I haven't looked at the data I believe her when she says that most Indian immigrants to the US are upper castes.
The problem is when this is single handedly blamed on upper-caste supremacy and words like "Brahmin supremacy" are used to vilify a community. Dalits already get a wide range of benefits. They have positions reserved for them everywhere - in schools, colleges, universities, jobs and so on.
Get this. We literally cordon off 50% of all available positions and make sure nobody - who isn't from a predetermined list of castes - can even apply. We have positions advertised where upper castes are straight away barred from applying. And remember this does not factor in income. So if you happen to be one of the lower castes who are well off, you still get in through affirmative action while if you're an upper caste you'd be denied that position regardless of how poor a family you come from. I have been a victim of this personally, so I know how much it sucks when a classmate who is better off than you gets into university or gets a job or a scholarship despite having worse grades than you.
I'm pretty sure you forgot about South America. Brazil has twice as many murders despite having 1/6 the population. In that respect, India is 12 times safer as long as you don't starve.
In Brazil most of the murders are between drug dealers. Meanwhile, in India people are literally shitting in the streets and throwing bodies in rivers 24/7. I wouldn't trade Brazil for India, not in a million years.
I mean aren't drug dealers Brazilian? I could say throwing dead bodies in the Ganges happens only in certain areas, so it doesn't count but I am pretty sure you won't accept that.
But at the end of the day it's choosing between hygiene and safety.
More like 50 years. Just look at the amount of train accidents in India. 50000 people dead in just 2 years. This would be absolutely inconceivable in Brazil.
Nobody shits in the streets that's often, it's usually the homeless that were the main culprits but police are cracking down. The open defecation figures come from villagers going into their fields and taking a dump. While that is a symptom of poverty, it's hardly a health and safety concern.
Ehh... It's cringy but the practice referring to others(especially if they're older) as sir/ma'am is something encouraged a lot in school and even in colleges.
Dumb custom but it's not a unique practice of neckbeards here in India.
Dalits literally have 50% reservations in colleges and jobs. Those retards still fail to match the level of upper caste students. But of course, that's the fault of upper caste males, right?
The drop out rate from IIT is 90% for lower caste. Why? Simply because they find out that the affirmative action which helped them get in there won't be there to hold their hands during the college years.
You kind of can though. You're from Hindi belt as well it seems, are you seriously telling me you can't differentiate a Musahar from a Thakur or a Brahmin? Every Musahar I see in East UP has pitch black, skin, small eyes and a flat nose. I can literally spot a Musahar in my hometown.
I've usually seen city populations as a whole have sharper features and are lighter complexioned than villagers. I used to travel by bus and it was really easy to guess which were the ones that came from the countryside with one look at the passengers. But IMHO it's only something you become aware of if you actively notice it, and it's not always accurate. My paternal grandfather is supposed to be a BRAmen for example but he looked like a textbook picture of a negrito australoid. My maternal one is a Kayastha but he wouldn't be out of place riding a horse while dual slaughtering Harrapoids.
I've usually seen city populations as a whole have sharper features and are lighter complexioned than villagers.
That's rubbish. People living in the city are usually lower-castes working as labourers whereas the big zamindars and nobility live in the countryside.
We still have zamindars in East UP and Bihar. And I'm sorry but villagers are usually much stronger and better built than cuck urban pussies. Take an aggressive Bhumihar chad from a village near Ballia and watch him cuck some pussy jat from Delhi.
You're comparing extrmes. Musahars are almost tribals in origin. If you want a better example, try comparing a Brahmin to an OBC like Badhai/Yadav/Verma. A lot of times you'd make mistakes if you try to tell caste from physical features.
Oh my lord the white people are imposing colonial frameworks to an incredibly complex society again. Where have I seen this happen. Listen the last time you went to go and save our souls you ended up enslaving us and killing millions, let Indians figure out their own shit

The whole twitter drama wasn't that big of a deal. It was only a big deal on twitter and quora. Like seriously, most people don't give a crap.
Also, bbc india is pretty out of touch with india.
The political drama around cbi {our fbi} is what news is talking about.

Of course this seems to have more or less been glossed over by the Indian media but still I thought this particular one was pretty entertaining.
