If I lived in India I'd be OBC. No Indian coworker (some of whom have had Brahmin last names) has ever asked my caste (white people have on occasion, but only out of harmless curiosity), or showed any signs of discriminating against me over it. I have encountered occasional racism in my career on the other hand. Nobody I know in real life has any experiences of casteism in top tech companies to report, but some do report experiences of racism.

But there are people claiming discrimination based on caste. It’s the matter of an ongoing landmark lawsuit [1].
Personal experience is a bad filter because it’s shaped by the same factors we’re measuring. I haven’t experienced real racism because I’ve consistently been in environments removed from racists. I recognise, however, that other environments exist.
