The ARyanic origin of caste is not really a racial divide -- Hinduism takes some aspects of Aryanic religions (like the gods Indra, Varuna etc.) but these are subsided in more ancient religious figures like Shiva (who is most likely Dravidian/Harappan in origin)

There are some racial orgins in this divide one would think, although it is not as obvious because of the population diversity.
