I never read any book written by Max Mueller. And I don't even know who this guy Macmillan is. You seem to be making a lot of assumptions about me. Also, I never accused Rig Veda of being casteist. Some of the vedic mantra-s are actually very pleasant to hear, when they are sung properly. And yes, I have read the sarvam khalvidam brahma and the other mahaa-vaakyas in the upanishads. But I was never referring to these things when I talked about problems in Hinduism. I was talking about the Manusmriti and some other dharma-shastras which explicitly preach casteism of a very disgusting kind. I was talking about the social realities in India like issues related to women, castes etc. I have not claimed anything which Hinduism or some of its texts don't propagate. Please note that while the vedas or upanishads are very important to Hinduism, a lot of other texts like the dharma-shastras etc. have also been a part of Hinduism. You can't simply say that just because an upanishad says that everything is brahman (god), Hinduism has no problematic issues like caste etc. You are confining yourself to the realm of spiritualism, while I am concentrating on the social issues here. The former aspect of Hinduism is lofty, I agree, but the latter aspect is not always good.
