However, it is illegal in India to discriminate based on caste, okay? If it wasn’t for all those idiotic thugs who go assaulting and murdering Dalits, this fucking caste issue would not even exist. Caste in India no longer determines your life, get it? We have multiple government ministers who are technically Dalits. And this chat is giving India a bad name. It is only the crazy religious Hindu extremists who practice the caste system, just like only extremist Muslims are part of the terrorism problem. So all you elitist Westerners can shut your self moral and judgmental mouths about a country you know nothing about.Phew, that’s that with the rant!

I'm not Indian, so I don't have the benefit of having my last name already assigned to a caste, so in the absence of that- I think that there isn't a choice but to use your parent(s) occupation or your family's economic status if a non-Indian wants to know what caste they'd be put in. Unlike a lot of people, I don't think that the caste system necessarily gives India a bad name, it is just a rather unique system that has such history behind it. I'm perhaps a bit too enthralled by it because I have no personal experience with it good or bad.

Well, read a bit more history and news. Thugs shred apart Dalits in the street when they marry a member of a higher caste. The government has historically fought this kind of discrimination; The Congress Party of India always used to assist lower castes in finding jobs, homes, etc. It is only the recent rightist BJP government that ignores, or even allows this kind of inhumane practice of the caste war.

Why would you be impressed by it? Its a disgusting system of oppression. And for your information, people brainwashed by extreme Hinduism love the system; there’s nothing “appealing” about it. The British used it to further divides in India to keep control over the population. Gandhi understood this, so one of his first steps was to empower Dalits and Untouchables. Now, the govnerment uses it to remain seemingly “devoted to righteous Hinduism,” aka extreme Hindu nationalism.

Is the caste system a part of Hinduism or not?

Its an interesting question. The caste system was pre-Hinduism - however, Brahmins eventually became religious leaders, who supposedly understood all about the world. This solidified the caste system as part of a Hindu tradition, as Brahmins knew religious scriptures by heart. However many Hindus today see it as an outdated system that doesn’t have relevance anymore.

Hm, so it's was just rich priests who wanted power, and put the caste system in Hinduism to keep their power?
