Rohith Vemula's suicide was the single biggest reason behind the shift in political discourse from economy to caste in 2016. They found out today that he committed suicide in fear of his real caste being revealed as he did not belong to the category but still took SC quota.

What caste would the child of a Brahmin and a Dalit be? Is there a one-drop-rule for that?

Generally, caste is presumed to be patrilineal. But with all the affirmative action policies around, some of them choose SC (dalit) but still behave like Brahmins, socially.
Basically they pick and choose based on what gives them an edge in a situation. It's kinda like with how mixed/biracials in the US select black because it gives them a bump in applications.
