^yes, well, racism is still very prevalent. subconscious, conscious.
I remember a while back, I read an article in National Geographic about the Untouchables (yes, in the rurals). Their tales almost brought tears to my eyes. I have two friends from India who are Brahmins and they used to tell me stories about their experiences regarding the Untouchables. A lot of sorrow.
It's unfortunate how Dalits are treated by villagers in rural regions. It's mostly due to a lack of education if anything. The government is trying to improve the situation, and so far, it has worked in the cities. They should hopefully be seen as equals in the villages aswell, as India develops more.

There's also affirmative action towards lower-caste Hindus now.
I heard higher-caste Hindus are adopting lower-caste last names to receive affirmative action!
Tne father of the Indian constitution was a Dalit too.
India was actually the first country in the world to implement Affirmative Action, back in the 19th century, before any Western countries. You can read more about it at:
