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.

A religion doesn't make sense -- that's not new.

I knew that before the article. It's kind of like the descendents of Ham, or the descendants of illegitimate children to the 10th generation.
