It's very relevant. Untouchables are fairly regularly murdered with the police doing nothing, and scandals breaking regularly about caste based discrimination showing up in US corporations from immigrants even.

Its true. Only problem we avoid speaking such things to westerners is that your left-brained 90IQ liberal arts media picks it up and spins as an anti-brahmin narrative (who are less than 10%) while most perpetrators of such crimes are landholding classes (often grouped as "other backward caste" for political reasons).

Am I understanding correctly that because westerners tend to misappropriate caste problems, you keep the lid on it ?

I don't know where you place 2020's CNN on the left/right scale but Brahmin is not named in this news : https://edition.cnn.com/2020/07/01/tech/cisco-lawsuit-caste-...

In that specific case it probably is Brahmin discrimination though. The previous poster was talking about the murdering.
