RE:put lower caste in their place
by Rational Indian on Jun 14, 2007 01:16 PM

Harjeet, u serioulsy need education. U r neither educated in modern constitutional values nor in hindu scriptures.



That trash which u quote is from Manu Smriti which has no authority. See what Bhagvad Gita said to be the words of Lord himself says:

"I am alike to all.None is hated by me nor dear to me."[9:29]

Chaturvarnya maya shrushta guna karma vibhagaso(i.e. Four varnas r based on qualities and deeds. Gita talks of "classes" and not birth-based castes like Manusmriti)



Further read Chapter 18. It is very clear that all four varnas including shudras have the right to learn and chant vedas. For Brahmins, learning vedas is compulsory. It is Manusmriti which barred shudras from reciting Vedas.



For knowledge about shudras read "Who were the shudras" by Dr. Ambedkar-an excellent analytical book available on net.
