Absolute rubbish! If you were a shit carrier by Caste you would have a different idea about Caste especially because a shit carrier's child can only become a shit carrier according to the rules of Caste. Under the Caste system even a proclaimed Chai wallah's son cannot become a Prime Minister. He would continue as a Chai seller. Modi could become PM but can he become the priest of your local temple. It is Democracy that allowed him to become PM. Because you belong to the highest Caste and have enjoyed its privileges you would like to protect its origins. A form of Caste is present in various societies. In Jewish society of the Old Testament the Levites were the children of the Priestly Caste and the Samaritans were their Dalits. In Europe Royalty was given to the thugs who grabbed power and the idea of Royal lineage still affects the British. In America the Caste system was mainly racist and disallowed formal marriage between the White and Black races. In India the rules of purity prevented even the shadow of a Dalit from contaminating the Brahmin. Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism grew out of Hinduism because of the aversion to Caste. Caste has affected Christianity too. Kerala Syrian Christians claim they are Brahmin by origin. All this will be destroyed by Genetic studies. It was genetic studies – and these are the highest form of scientific evidence – that showed that the Aryans did migrate into the subcontinent that we now call India. They came as the last migrants from other countries. Genetic studies demonstrated that endogamy (marrying within one's own caste) started in the Gupta era. There is no salvation in caste and you sustain it by arguing in its favour.
George, you've made very pertinent points!
Great answer.
