The caste system is illegal in india, and discrimination against castes can get you in jail. It's just that most of the older generations, especially in the rural areas still cling to their ways. The best way this can be eradicated is by the country industrializing, thus urbanizing and modernizing earlier.
What would it take for the current technology existed 30 years ago?

From what has been said, I can see the world with the most advanced technology if these events had happened.
The richer USA with more immigrants helps to transform Latin America and mainly places like Brazil, Argentina and Mexico in Japan or Germany or South Korea. and venezuela because of oil becomes something like dubai.
With the world now with a new developed region, we can see India becoming a new China and being able to have factories and industry at the level of China and creating a kind of '' made in India '' and potentially becoming such a great power as to china itself.
places like bangladesh and southeast asia could also become something like south korea.
And Eastern Europe and Turkey could also become something.
I just don't know what the role of russia and africa would be in this world, maybe nigeria or south africa if we play well we could have sub-saharan africa in the level of development of latin america in our timeline.

World wars (wars generally) are kind of a mixed bag... They tend to emphasize what works, not what's new--but do allow introducing new in conditions no civilian would tolerate: so, surgical advances (frex) may happen.
As for electronics, how about this: Britain sees WW1 Zeps as a serious potential threat, & applies radio search (crude radar) to locating them, which means need for CRTs (& better vacuum tubes, & klystrons, & ultimately magnetrons), & better fighters to intercept & destroy them (so monoplane fighters (shameless plug
), like the Bristol M1 (to pick just one), which helps drive better materials tech.
The threat from U-boats could also help drive electronics developments: sonar & dipping sonar, & homing torpedoes.

interestingly, what domino effect would that have on the evolution of technology?
Outside wartime? Probably TV happens sooner (& mechanical TV, per Baird, never does). Quite a few actors who had long radio acting careers see them cut short as TV gains popularity, & radio drama/comedy dies. MTV is almost certainly sooner.
Some will argue comics take a fatal hit from TV; between it & Wertham, maybe.
Likely airships serve as AEW/AWACS platforms, which is pretty big for any *Battle of Britain. It's also big for defending Pearl Harbor & the P.I. I wouldn't envy Bomber Command having to find a way around it, either.
The influence on ASW is pretty profound: it effectively makes the typical interwar sub little more than a target.
So, quieter is a must, & so is improved battery capacity. And RWRs. Maybe even sub-launched SAMs. It's pretty clear the Battle of the Atlantic is an early win for the Brits, unless BdU is really on the ball.
