You can argue both ways here - Since anyone can (at least theoretically) become a minister there is no caste system - only a class system. This exists everywhere. On the other hand, given how many of our political parties believe that party positions are inherited, you could start believing it is a caste system all over again.

The Indian politician uses public money for z category security because he
considers his life more valuable. People who travel in public transport are
not entitled ro such security because their lives are less valuable.

In what way is the concept of valuing one life more than other any different
from a rehashed caste system?
