Yes, caste system exists in India.

Explanation:

Caste system has been well entrenched in Indian society from time immemorial and has brought about worst kind discrimination and exclusion of the out caste group who were subjected to inhuman treatment and injustice.  

Independent India has witnessed changes in the caste system due to the following reasons:

1. The Constitution of India provided in principle legal and political equality to everybody irrespective of their caste.

2. Article 17 of the constitution banned untouchability, even though it continue exist in some parts of rural India.

3. Government policy of reservation has helped in enhancing the education and economic status of the Schedule caste and Schedule Tribe.

4. Apart from legal and constitutional provisions social and economic changes have broken traditional caste hierarchies.

Increased urbanization, economic development, better education  and job opportunities, occupational mobility has made people less conscious of their caste system.

5. There has been a marked attitudinal shift of the people particularly in urban areas who have become more aware and have risen above these narrow caste loyalties.

Dramatic changes have taken place but still there is a long way to go as in rural areas caste based identities are still prevalent.
