The continual process of life in misery then death and then possibly life again in misery offers nothing. I believe the point is to do good in this life so the next life is in better conditions.

Yes, but there is no guarantee of anything in the Hindu faith. Virtually anything you do could "offend" one of their literally millions of gods and condemn you.
If you check them out, you will find that the vast majority of Indians are dirt poor and have little. That would mean that the at one time some richer Hindu was NOT living a moral life and was "demoted" to poverty. Which of cource cannot be since there simply aren't enough rich to "demote".
Besides, if you read the article, the untouchables are supposedly paying for the "sins" of some pre-historic ancestor, generation after generation after generation. Doesn't look like there is much room at the top of the ladder.

(Even if the government took all your earnings, you wouldn't be, in its eyes, a slave.)
