I am thinking of a social security system (or welfare system, or redistribution scheme, or tax scheme) which does not take caste into consideration, but only factors such as income, wealth, parental income and wealth, illnesses and disabilities, …
In Europe and other Western countries, discontent about immigrants (and their descendants) is on the rise because people who struggle give them the blame for their own hardships, and a lot of politicians gain power by appealing to these sentiments, yet the policies that they then enact just make the rich richer and the poor even poorer.
Could something analogous be going on in India (with the lower castes in the place of immigrants), in that the ultra-rich people manage to avoid paying taxes commensurate to their wealth by making public policy debate focus on DEI or affirmative action programs?

Yes that’s what happens in here
The kind of social security system you’re talking about would be the best for India. But that would take 3-4 decades to be fully functional considering the usual rise in communal riots
But neither of the parties (BJP or Congress) would do that because they just want to make the votebank happy who are mostly the uneducated ones in towns, slums and villages
The politics in this country is fkn cinema atp! They wouldn’t spend a single penny for the ones who think rationally before voting someone
