Well India seems to have sort of a caste system, so I guess he is somewhat right.

Baton Rouge, LA – Louisiana Governor and GOP presidential candidate, Piyush “Bobby” Jindal, 44, spoke with Phil Hemmer via satellite on Fox News’ Happening Now this morning to discuss the ever-growing Confederate flag controversy. However, it wasn’t Jindal’s opinion on what states should do about the flag that had people talking afterwords.
While discussing the historic South Carolina Senate vote to have the flag removed from statehouse grounds, Jindal told Hemmer, “Like the same-sex marriage issue, I believe this should be decided on by the states, not the courts. Let the people’s voices be heard. Like many others who hail from the great Creole state, the Confederate flag is a symbol of my heritage, and that heritage has nothing to do with racism or hate.”
It would seem Bobby is once again trying to put mileage between himself and his family’s immigrant past. It’s no secret that Jindal, the first Indian-American governor in US history, is uncomfortable in his own skin. For years now he has tried to distance himself from his Indian roots, and his remarks this morning are just the latest in a long line of bizarre statements and actions.
Jindal Tee ShirtTake for example Jindal’s recent “limited edition campaign t-shirt” featuring the slogan, “Tanned. Rested. Ready.” Tanned? The Twitterverse immediately started to compare Jindal to Rachel Dolezal, the former NAACP leader in Washington state who came under fire recently for claiming to be black.
Who could forget the governor’s self portrait discovered by a Louisiana political blogger? Whoever that painting was supposed to resemble is whiter than my Swedish cousin Sigfast.
Mr. Jindal, being the first Indian-American United States governor is something to be proud of. Leaving the state the same way you found it, the nations poorest, is not.

Not sure why this was posted twice. I guess even the internet did a double take with that claim.

Nothing racist about a flag that stands for slavery, subjugation, discrimination, and hatred. ::)
Sometimes you gotta wonder how Repubs decide to pick and choose their battles.
-
Jindal doing anything to gain in the polls with the base.
-
Jindal demanded a no fly zone for Isis
The reporter pointed out they don't have planes.
Awkward.

You believed Palin was qualified, Bachmann is "brilliant", and Cain was monogamous. You ARE a fool.
Not to mention a hypocrite as you kept silent when your favorite midget was posting over and over articles from the Globe and Enquire.

The funniest part of the link I posted was when you tried to support a fake news story with a fake New York Times website. LOL! Comedy gold. ;D

The National Report has fooled many astute posters like 24KT, 333386, Coach, Beach Bum/Dos Equis, but that should come as no surprise; it is not very hard to realize it's satire when the front page has headlines like "Ben Carson actually white man in blackface", "God: I’m Too Busy to Stop All The Gun Violence in America, Try Some New Laws" and "Paul Ryan Says He’ll Be Next Speaker, But Only If Chaffetz Can ‘Out-Bench’ Him".

No, the funniest part is that you yourself didn't know this was fake until 3 months later when someone else reported it.
Good job Captain Obvious.
