It's actually sad that I often hear/read more about India's big caste problem from non-Indian blogs and websites than from other Indian friends. In my generation, caste just seems not to matter much. Indeed, any caste-related angst in our generation seems to be product of precisely that one policy that our forefathers thought would lessen caste distinctions- affirmative action and reservation in public sector. Granted that, in villages the problem still exists in a very significant way. But there it has more to do with class and haves-vs-have-nots issues than anything else.
