1) the Indian caste system is not _just_ religious discrimination, its a class system that is devilishly tricky to escape. Its difficult to comprehend in the USA because the class system there is basically skin colour>money>very distant last religion. OP touches on this, but doesn't really quite grasp the difference.
The implication is that he is but a poor dalit, because of his faith. Which is pretty wild.
2) choosing to preach in work will lead to raised eyebrows.
on point two he says there are other mystics about in google, but I strongly suspect they aren't trying to convert people.
Look, I am surprisingly religious, I don't talk about my faith unless it's expressly required. Like my penis, it doesn't come out at work.
You can change your wealth much easier than you can change your race. Sure a rich person will have it a fucktonne easier than a poor person, regardless of race. However race is the first thing you see.
As someone who is from the outside, Its especially obvious at points where the state or large institutions interact. (ie property, banking, police, airports etc etc)
Of course you can’t change your race, but we’re talking about some American analog of the caste system. Race just isn’t nearly as large a factor as money. Not even close
No its a bit more complex, there is nationality mixed in there as well as colour.
however my statement is based on personal experience travelling through the USA. Americans talk a lot more about race than I expected. They are upfront about their dislike of certain racial epithets.
