An Indian colleague of mine told me that she felt it was the same in India with respect to the caste system (she was born a Brahmin). She said she could tell from the way people spoke what caste they were from.
When I hear folks from India talk about the caste system, it sounds very similar to how people in the US talk about racism against blacks.
