You're not totally wrong, my Bostonian Friend, it was partly in jest. But Hinduism is not the only religion in India, and regardless of faith, the caste development later than Hinduism as a way to "keep people in their place," so to speak.

Plus, its always good to think critically of historical figures. Not everyone in India, for example, loves Ghandi. Not everyone in Spain hates Franco.
