Varnashram is not practical for todays date and time anymore. Forget varna, even 'Ashram' part of it.
Sanatan dharma did not stop at Bhagvan Shree Krishna. Sri Vishnu in Bhagvan Buddha's avatar has delivered this message very clearly. 'Esso Dhammo Sanantano'.
Varnashram was only an institute, or a system. Let us move forward from varnaashram, to what is practical and relevant for living life in todays age, as per the principles and values of Sanatan Dharma.
About your assertion that "...But only in India, you find people advertising their castes in newspapers...". This is also not true. At least in Pakistan too, you can find this. People do advertise their clan 'yusufjai pathan' and 'asifjai pathan' and so on. Just browse some news paper sites or pakistan discussion forums. So is the case in Latin America too.
