The Caste System is completely incompatible with Western values. The whole "you are born into your social class" very obviously conflicts with the Equality/Meritocracy we are all hoping is restored someday.
I have some Indian friends. They are nice people but they look down on people below them and will always favor their countrymen and castemates.
Humans are tribalistic and indian culture lends itself to tribal attitudes -- this shouldn't be a shock.
They're not your friends. They'll sell you out/backstab you/rip you off the second it's convenient or beneficial somehow to themselves. They're only nice so they can see what you got that they want from you.
Actually the only one I would consider a friend has mostly shunned Indian culture. When he was in the states we got into plenty of trouble and he regularly ate beef. I don't think he personally liked the caste system.
Most Indians are hard to be friends with because that cultural barrier is so strong.
