Castism we know is not race based, rather job/duty based. It is possible that people of particular caste have low IQ, but reason for that may depend on extend to which brain used to do his/her regular jobs. If a person from a low caste is groomed from childhood, it is possible that he/she has a very high IQ. We have always seen exceptional people coming from low castes.

Caste was based on occupation, not race
The initial selection for caste must have been based on aptitude in
certain jobs. For many centuries, it was based on aptitude
In short, people migrated to castes based on aptitude for
the caste skills
The occupation duties of certain castes,
create a strong genetic selection pressure for the members to fit into
the caste niche
A-la- dog breeding
different dog breeds have skills in different areas
It so happens that 'g' what is measured in IQ skills
tracks skills found in brahmin and merchant castes
This only refers to bell curve
Individuals may have widely differing IQs in different castes
