Last name and profession (eg the apparent lowest castes are treated horribly and do the shittiest of manual scavenging jobs) is the indicator always. Rest of all of this class and caste, language, accent etc comparison indicators mean nothing. It is not how people are interpreting it on here. Class and caste are distinct and different here in India. Eg you could be an upper caste beggar but you caste status will be higher than a well educated lower caste high ranking official. Last names are key here, people know in an instant with them, its one of indias biggest shame as a culture
