Occasionally, you pull back the curtain just a tiny bit and it's still the medieval ages.

Like that apparently, there is exactly 1 computer science prof at a top-5 IITs in India who is from the lower 40-45% castes.

And this one, in Toronto, felt the need to hide his caste until he was granted tenure.

The mind boggles.

P.S. I know it's not "occasionally", unfortunately, and of course not limited to India-related issues.
