Caste in itself is not bad; the discrimination and violence is. Caste and language based favouritism is too well entrenched in India to be removed. So while religious discrimination wanes, casteism and linguistic favouritism flourish. Caste is well entrenched in "son of the soil" and OBC/BC/MBC/SC/ST politics and any removal of caste politics and violence will have to address those quota based preferences without using caste as a factor. The C in OBC really stands for Caste and not Class.
