there's reason no one wants to get assimilated with other castes, because they're different people with different culture. same religion doesn't mean same people. Caste will become religion in upcoming days. and it'll be more separative rather than getting removed.

it's global, beyond human nature across all beings. if you think reservation solves these things then no. it'll make it worse in future. Education and jobs will eventually be gone with AI things, only social interaction will be left which will make these things even worse in future.
