Save the caste system. Stop forcing alien systems on hindus. Hindus have survived for long the onslaught of foreigners. India was progressingly peaceful in past, including religions of various denominations along with casteism. The brahmins, kshatriyas, vaishyas, shudras, chandalas, all knew their places and the work they need to do. Order was maintainted. This is what is required instead of the chaos of today. Accept it or not, the most anti-caste supporter to practice it in day to day affairs.

It is really shocking that people can have such a sick mind. The caste system is symbol of exploitaion, 20% population abused 80% of population. Society was never in harmoney, only thing was sudras faced and tolerated the autrocites against them silently because they were made to believe that they are born for that. There was no Education systenm for all so they believed whatever the Brahmins preached. Castism is more henious practice than aparthied. Castism still exists in our society therfore there is an anarchy now as opressed are no longer taking it, they want to return in same coin. Learn from developed country where jobs are not identified with their castes, it is ability to do the job matters. How many Brahmins in India accept the job of a hair crafter or for that matter job of a scavanger. Anarchy will continue to exist till the time casteism is totaly abolished in practice not just by constitution and everybody learn to to do every job.

Is it not that a Brahmin is of priestly class, maintain exemplary behaviour, spend life in pursuit of divine knowledge, an incarnation of dharma, do you mean as a hindu I abandon manusmriti, why I need to do all these, for the progress and development? progress and development of violence, is this what I want? Why do I need to abandon what my ancestors followed 50 years ago, is it because west is more attractive to me? I am a Brahmin and proud of my heritage. If I need to abandon casteism I as well abandon Hinduism altogether and follow one of those middle eastern religion, at least I do not have to cover up my religion, have a split personality.
