Highly Charged Debate...But, Do We Really Care?
by babu george on Apr 12, 2008 09:28 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

It is shocking to find educated Indians holding that "caste system is established by gods and should continue"! This should make us to rethink about the progress that we have achieved in the last 60 years!

It is high time we replace the religion-caste based system of incentives and punishments with a more rational system of affirmative action.

Once we do this much, caste and religion will begin to slowly wither away from public discourses.

Mr Babu,

If you feel shameful about your culture for lack of its knowledge thats not my problem.
It os the only natural system to keep the society in harmony.

The root of caste system is, where would you like to marry you daughter. If you dont care about yours, please do'nt ask me to be a company to it.

Caste System will never die, unless you destroy or change the Holy Books ( Shashtra(veda,smruti, gita etc., Purana, Of Hindu) and you support the inter-religion,inter-caste marriage.

As long as people will read and follow these so-called holy books with full of theory of discrimination, the caste system will never die.
For this mentality of the orthodox should be changed.

Mr Pradeep,
U are having very very poor knowledge of these books. Go and purchase these books and read them carefully and understand each sentence. Dont mug-up them. You are a mental slave of Brahmnism. You are unpaid Army of Brahmnism. Thats why u are talking about Soul. You are having worst mind, worst characters, thats why u are asking to sell MOM,SIS, This is your Philosophy, just implement it for urself. I am not following such philosophy. I do not hate Hindu, Brahmin, but I hate Brahmnism.
