Now, the Indians who are Americanized are quite a different matter. I know many who have achieved greatly…mostly by abandoning such caste consciousness and embracing small-d democracy. I also have had some close encounters with Brahmin princesses and don not care to repeat the experience.
I’m sorry to hear about your traumatic experience. Regardless, the princess turned out to be a dalit, not a brahmin.
Unfortunately what you say is quite true. (Am from India myself). The educated lot who have seen more of the world are not so bad. But yea, your point is valid esp among the very orthodox.
