When did you realize that caste groups existed?

when we start working in high populated area like dallas and baya area - when you start a indian cetric business especially telugu movies , restaurants , consulting business

casteism will change. It will take new forms, new social relations (some of them inclusive to specific kind of lower castes), like it is happening in cities.

But whatever happens, a huge chunk of people at the top will always be mediocre, telling themselves that passing some stupid exam means they are meritorious and deserve their place in the society. 

meanwhile at the bottom, we'll have a lot of smart human wasting their life doing menial work without having any stake in the society.

those at the top get together to gossip about social relations, about not being allowed into so and so gym because of whatever conditions... now we have feminism, gay rights, trans rights to the mix. a lot of upper class sh1ts fight exclusively for these rights while shouting down poor people, to feel good about themselves.

accurate description 

[Raven_Rayes]

ever since I learnt about caste, I lost all my social skills. Not like I had any. Atleast people used to be very cautious around me. Now they can dismiss me as a kook, because empathizing with others is considered a weakness.

anyway good riddance.  almost all uppercaste sh1ts are worthless to talk to. Their whinings are music to my ears.

one Raju guy said the same thing to me. He didn't say top or something. He said they are special, and were always the rulers or some such thing.

I didn't understand what he was saying.

Chinnappati nunchi telusu. Really shock matram Inter lo. Maa lowercaste friend ni emotional torture chesaru roommates. When she was not present real intentions bayatapettaru. Lower caste ni character tho equate chesaru. Tanu room maarindi. Aa PoS roommates tho inkonni months nenu padi Nenu same room ki maaraanu. Akkademo telangana santha. Caste feeling ledhu kaani area feeling. Same friend uttarandhra lo village. Aa kotha room lo telangana side oka village nunchi ammayi. Regional feelings tho choicest words tho bhoothulu tittukunevaru. Naa friend Inko room maarindi. Aa room lo they were mix of all people of all castes/ regions. Finally she was happy. 
 Inka btech ayithe caste groups/ caste gola. I had friends from all castes upper to lower. But Naa laanti vallu chala takkuva. Ammayi kabatti bathikipoya. Abbayillo ala undevallani arey enduku raa vallatho tiriguthunnav anukuntu godavalu padi kottukoni hopistals lo admit ayinavallu kooda unnaru. But final year ki vachesariki konchem liberal ga undi caste gola lo irukkunna vallu andaritho kalisipoyaru. Karadu gattina caste vaadulu matram still valla groups thone tirige vaaru.

Never faced caste issues in USA. Probably because I did not live in big cities. St Louis lo em caste gola untundi Naa bondha. Adhi kaaka maa office lo antha gola kooda undadhu

Yea basically you dont need caste as it will never stop you from getting what you want. so you can afford not to  bother about caste and still be OK. But for most lower castes they have to pay a lot including their life if they do not know thier place.

MS lo. 

Reddy only reddy ki assistantships ki recommend cheyadam.

Kamma only kamma ki recommend cheyadam.

ISA president only kamma eligible avvadam.

Seniors caste adagadam for allowing as roommate.

Fuses out.  Hyd lo evaru nannu caste enti ani adagale and i didnt knew caste groups even exist.

caste feeling is mostly from Andhra and rayalaseema. 

In telangana - i rarely felt caste feeling. Sorry to say - yes, we used to hate the guys with reservations and coming to NIT, Osmania, IIT with ultra poor ranks/ marks.. We also hated girls for claiming 35% reservation

The best time I had was in Hyderabad to an extent. No casteism/ no regional feelings. But northeast valla meedha discrimination choosa. A girl from Assam undedhi. Nobody really mingled with her. Maybe people did not really understand her background.
