In America there is no system in place today that forces people to remain separate or keeps one class subservient to another.
If you were born the son of a street sweeper, but excelled, you could become a doctor or lawyer or some celebrity or entrepreneur – and at the same time you would be fully accepted by your peers.
Not so in India. The Caste system freezes everyone in place. It is extremely difficult – almost impossible – for someone from the lowest Caste to rise in education and social status.
A Dalit would never be allowed to marry into one of the higher castes and would never be accepted as an equal.
And for a Dalit to make it into bollywood, medical school or opening a restaurant or become a priest in a temple or become a member of high society in India is very rare indeed.
You can move from one class to another in America(e.g Obama became President of USA)
You must not move from one caste to another in your life time in India(e.g. Ambedkar could not become Prime Minister of India)
