Caste based reservations and equality of opportunity - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

I didn't watch the speech (can't, my PC has no speakers), but when I read the title of this thread I was thinking hotel reservations. Do those exist? I mean, are there big, old-fashioned Indian hotels that require you to prove you're a designated caste to stay in a room, so that they can claim to be "kosher" for all their guests? Not sure what the correct term is, but you'd figure there'd be a sales draw in being able to guarantee a bed which nobody from the gutter-cleaner caste has ever slept in. Et cetera...

No offense, but I am utterly uninformed about the current state of the caste system in India, so the import of the video would be lost on me. You will have to educate.
