New Tech-Support Caste Arises In India

April 20, 2005 | Issue 41•16 

NEW DELHI-Thanks to widespread outsourcing of telephone-service jobs, a sixth 
caste has blossomed in India: the Khidakayas, a mid-level jati made up of 
technical-support workers. "I am happy to be a Khidakaya," said 
technical-support agent Ranji Prasat, who speaks English with a flawless 
American accent and goes by the name "Ron" at work. "While we rank below 
members of the reigning order, those of us responsible for helping Americans 
track their online purchases and change their account PINs share many 
privileges not enjoyed by the merchant class below us." Prasat said he 
expects to marry another tech-support worker.
