I was listening to an interview with a man from India, and the discussion was
about the caste system, and how it still has it's subtle influences.  The
guest spoke of how Indians (and most likely everyone else) feel uncomfortable
while travelling outside their borders and seek out someone with something in
common to talk to.  He said he would avoid as much as possible to bring up
castes, because that would usually shut down any further discussion.  Two
poeple who go from discussing common backgrounds, then suddenly shut down
because of what an older tier system tells them to.

One time at lunch at work I was sitting with a group of engineers, and
somehow the caste system was brough up.  One engineer said it no longer
mattered and he saw no discrimination.  No one disagreed at that time.  When
he finished and walked away, the other Indian guys mentioned he was in a high
caste with great priviledge.  I don't know if the guy was exaggerating, but
he said the other guy had servants to carry him so he would not touch the
ground.  Obviously, he would see no difference in treatment.
