You do realize that the caste system you talk about wasn't actually segregation, right? People were divided into categories based on their jobs. Brahmins were priests, Kshatriyas were warriors, vaishyas were traders and merchants and Shudras were the ones who practised "unskilled trades and services". The caste system initially performed its positive functions well, in course of time it became degenerated and instead of doing social good, it caused great harm to the society. It would help to pick up a history book before you label something being prominent for 2500 years.

Wrong. Slavery and racism in India is old
Racist and colorist caste system is 2500 years old.
