Is there a palpable sense that the caste system still plays any relevant role in Indian society? Is the sharp contrast there between haves and have nots tied to societal norms regarding cast? I'm just curious. i have heard the caste system is in sharp decay. I look forward to reading of your experiences in Mumbai?

Having lived in Arizona for six years, I did see many of the same issues in Mexico, between the haves and have nots. In India, however, the chasm is much greater. An example - I was admiring a multimillion dollar yacht in the bay as several women were begging me for change. Scott and I are presenting together in Mumbai.
