How would a non Indian person even tell? Is it really all in the last name? I've worked with a fair amount of Indian folks with a wide variety of names - how would you even go about determining someone's caste? Based on this article it sounds like most people who end up in Big Tech will be upper caste.
- ReptileMan 4y agoWell most people that immigrate not trough the south border or diversity visa are usually middle class or up in their country of origin. The easiest way to get to live in the US is to have money. The southern border is the new ellis island trough which the great unwashed can enter.
- lotsofpulp 4y agoAssuming caste maps to socioeconomic status, the situation is the same for Indians and non Indians around the world.
- nojito 4y agoIt’s done through seemingly simple questions. Usually dealing with what city they are from, what city are your parents from, are you vegetarian, are you having dessert? I've never experienced or seen the thread searching. Larger person grabs your shoulder to see if the thread is there. But that wouldn't surprise me at all.
- 40acres 4y agoThis is interesting. I believe vegetarianism is higher caste but dessert is a tricky one.

- thunkshift1 4y agoThats bs.. none of those questions tells you anything caste related
- nojito 4y agoFrom my name and city origin you can determine my family's caste.
- thunkshift1 4y agoAnecdotal at best. No way this can be generalized.
- nojito 4y agoOf course it is. Why is why I (and many others) changed their names to hide it.
- Lio 4y agoFor an outside observer, what's the significance of dessert here?
- jackling 4y agoWhat does dessert have to do with it? I have never heard about that.
