I'm glad to see such a consensus on this subject and I thank Matt for bringing it up for discussion. One thing I didn't point out in my first response, and it troubles me, about this article and its supposition is that it falls right into place with the current trend to abdicate personal responsibility. It also provides the perfect excuse for a person's lack of success, "I'm the victim of a caste system, thus my failures are not my fault".
As was excellently pointed out above, we celebrate a person raising themselves from humble, or poor, beginnings and achieving great success. This, on its own, obliterates the idea of a caste system existing in this country. We really don't need more "victims" giving up before they even begin because the system "won't allow" them to succeed.
