British Did One Good Thing
by DALIT RAJA on Dec 01, 2007 05:27 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Birth-based Caste system is 3000 years old. British did not create it. In fact, after the British came caste system started weakening.

Without the British Rule the conditions would have been worse.

What proof you have its 3000 years old?

Bhakti Movement started in Southern India sometime in 7th century. Long before advent of Islam, or Brits.

Wish you idiots start reading Indian history. Play les politics.

be precise it is 3102 BC (start of Kaliyug)
but the seeds of it started getting into our culture long before that.
Ref. Ramayana - Shabri been not allowed to come near lord Ram. Ram Says to the brahmins, I dont know caste, i know only human beings. keep your castes with yourself. The message to eradicate caste was there from that era.
That period, brahmins did not gave a ear to it. Today the Political leaders dont want to hear it.
