Dharmic faiths usually does not mean a reference to caste - it just means Hinduism and religions such as Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism etc.

Many temples in India do not allow people from other faiths to enter. Actually more and more temples are imposing those restrictions.

About the issue of caste discrimination, that remains a big problem. Many temples do not allow lower castes entry even now.

Dharma has nothing to do with caste discrimination. Dharma is typically translated as duty and ethics.

Moreover, caste discrimination is not just limited to brahmins, though they get most of the flak. Caste discrimination is also done by lower castes. It is turtles all the way.
