Im a kashmiri pandit ...so let me just talk about this ...Firstly the caste system for the most part has nothing to do with religion the varna system was fluid but people /society came up with their own ways of type casting . In the north west of the country the caste system has more or less no meaning now, lots of "lower caste" people just move to another town and change their last names . That video looks to be of southern india which is VERY different from the north. The north west , Punjab and Kashmir(where im from) are heavily Persianized, not many people know that. It is common there in the southern parts , it will take a long time for the mindset there to change.
