In some parts of India, the Christians are stratified by sect, location, and the castes of their predecessors[31], usually this refers only to the Catholic churches, not the Protestant, and could be in reference to nasrani who were bestowed caste-like status. Presently in India, more than 70% of Christians are Dalits, but the higher caste Christians (30% by estimates) control 90% of the Catholic churches administrative jobs [2]. Out of the 156 Catholic bishops, only 6 are from lower castes[32][31]. Many Dalit Catholics have spoken out against discrimination against them by the Catholic Church[33]. Christians in Goa are certainly likely to mention their caste in matrimonial ads [3

The Sachar Committee's report commissioned by the government of India and released in 2006, documents the continued stratification in Muslim society.
Among Muslims, those who are referred to as Ashrafs are presumed to have a superior status derived from their foreign Arab ancestry[38][39], while the Ajlafs are assumed to be converts from Hinduism, and have a lower status. In addition, there is also the Arzal caste among Muslims, who were regarded by anti-caste activists like Babasaheb Ambedkar as the equivalent of untouchables[40][41]. In the Bengal region of India, some Muslims also stratify their society according to 'Quoms'[42]. While some scholars have asserted that the Muslim Castes are not as acute in their discrimination as that among Hindus,[37][43] Ambedkar argued otherwise, writing that the social evils in Muslim society were "worse than those seen in Hindu society"[40][41].
