What are your answers to these questions:
Can you book the board room in your office for some kind of meeting on your own?
Does the idea of ‘job-grades’ offend you?
While on a business travel, have you been sent in an ‘executive’ class seat? Which class does you manager take during business flights? (If not your immediate manager, then consider your manager’s manager).
Have you noticed a different colored badge of another employee who’s stuck to your organization longer than you have? Why do you have a different colored badge than his?
Why can’t you park your vehicle at the ‘reserved’ slots? (Why, even if you are physically challenged).
Does a guy of a higher job-grade travel more than you do to come to work? Yes? No? Not sure? Why then can he claim more petrol expenses than you can?
Have you taken ‘mandatory’ polls and ‘trainings’? Who mandated them?
If you think that the above mentioned discriminations are justified, then you’ve Just accepted the caste system of the modern world. I’m sure you’d bombard me with numerous ‘+’ points about this modern system, and how different it is, but remember, the differences will vanish if only you take your research a few thousand years back in Indian history.
We've learnt nothing from the classical Caste system. So let's go on, repeat its mistakes. Our descendants are going to hate us for that, just as we hate the creators of the caste system.
(so much more to write in too little a space...)

Vivekanand said more than 100 years ago that no society can be without caste system. You can see every country have their own, only difference being, some are based on birth, some on their finance status etc.
