Did you ever analyze if this was purely due to your caste or if it was due to you being perceived (real or not I don’t know) as someone who is from the reserved category and hence benefited from reservation in college admission.
I don’t give a shit about caste, never have, and for most part can’t tell based on last names, but I’ll be honest that even after decades I still feel a little raw about reservation.
And therein lies the rub, as in will it or not, these legislations lead to people being unfairly sued for caste discrimination upon not getting a job due to lack of capability.
As mentioned, I’m only slightly lower than the uppermost caste, so I’m not in any extreme reservation category. And I didn’t use reservation either.
None of that matters since many of these incidents happen within 15 minutes of the first meeting. Roughly around when they start to realize and ask, “oh, you’re not Brahmin?”
Importantly, this question sounds more like trying to find a reason why casteism is justified tbh.
