Name a profession and we have a caste for it. It is not essential for you to follow the profession that is depicted by your caste; yet, in spite of your present job you will be branded with the profession based caste your ancestors belonged to. Harry Potter would have been fighting against social discrimination, had that character born in India. 

We should stop talking about human rights as long as the words dalits, scheduled caste, shudras, and the names of castes that are used as abuses exist in our vocabulary.

The castes are also considered as upper-castes and lower-castes. People belonging to lower castes are even treated, as untouchables in this modern era of corporate world and are not even permitted to enter the temples of their religion. On the other hand people of the upper caste even use prefixed titles before their names for declaring their caste with pride.

The system of arranged marriage is one of the core foundations of the caste-system prevailing in our country (India).  The violators of arranged marriage system are either declared out-castes or are even assassinated, if any boys and girls belonging to different castes of the same religion attempt to marry. There are reports of mob violence and riots taking place in rural areas as a result of inter-caste marriages.

Dalits (low castes) are not only found in the modern days, in an ancient Indian religion, even the dalits who have been converted into other religions also are branded as low-castes. The caste based social discrimination is also used by politicians as a tool for inflating their vote banks for winning elections by unfair means. 

Thousands of years back, the local village-heads discovered and implemented castes just for keeping slaves for doing all the chores for them. We will have to remove all the castes from the ancient Indian religion and let everyone live with self-respect, dignity and in peace.
