Low caste Hindus, like Sudras and Untouchables could not expect to have a good economic situation, protection, and privileges.

This made Islam much more appealing to Sudras and Untouchables because it liberated them from being forced to the bottom of the social ladder.

What is actually important is the Varna associated with the higher caste.5. There is a misconception that a Hindu, though good deeds, can acquire a higher caste in the next life.This misconception is due to the wrong interpretation of 'reincarnation', which actually means 'transformation of an activity every time it is repeated'.5.
