"there is no castism,idol worship,and all other bad practices of hindus".Please correct yourself.THERE IS NOTHING BAD ABOUT ANYTHING.THEY ARE ALL SCIENTIFIC.Even Gita mentions Caste is based on one's nature.Let us know the truth atleast .A son of a brahmin need not be a brahmin and similiarly son of a sudra need not be a sudra and everything is open to him.Ofcourse corrupt selfishness brought about such a turnaround and bad repute to the caste system.IN MODERN LANGUAGE IT MEANS HORSES FOR COURSES irrespective of birth. Even amongst 12 Alwars who had a vision of Vishnu and are worshipped in South 7 were Sudras by birth.God sees everyone alike.

Krishnan, I agree your point, but in this stupid era, choice of words are definitely important. God has suggested that there 4 types of people based on one's "sudharma". This was misintrepreted by our people as caste. Ofcourse history is written by victorious. Please read the 5 books written by Dharmpal, he has explained the social conditions before the british's invasion.
You can clearly see that there was no difference in the society based on caste (1720), Britishers were successful in first diving the Hindus and then hindus-muslims.
