Assumption? Please reread what I actually wrote.

Are you suggesting that there is no casteism in India? Casteism has a long and religious based history.
The Caste System. And it's still alive and well in India. Just recently, the parents of the girls who were raped and murdered accused the police of failing to respond more quickly because the families are of a lower caste. Ignore it if you like, call me bigoted if you choose (note that I didn't say that I agree with casteism); but it's reality.
We don't know where or how the OP was raised. I stand by my statement, -- parents in India raises that possibility.
