terror attaks
by raman govindan on Jun 15, 2008 08:46 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

attitude of indian society is derived from brahminical ethos. it is soft and non violent and based on caste and family. missionary zeal exhibited by western religions are less visible with traditional hindu society. under such circumstances, we have to exist with such tendencies like terror attacks, diruption of developmeny and orderly society and wait for a day others agree with us.

A society divided by on the name of caste itself is a great sin. Being proud about on the basis of caste is a shame.

There are good brahmins I agree, but there are some facts as well. They are aryans who conquered the country and destroyed society and established casteism. Lower caste got a status equivalent to slaves. Casteism still haunts India and its society.

I agree.There are different thoughts like you said, Shia, Sunni etc.And there are fights among them.

Casteism is different.A shia and Sunni can get tea from same tea shop in the same type of mug.
A shia can become Sunni in a second and vice versa But caste tag exists till the end.

A dalit can never become a Brahmin and vice versa.
What I said is being proud with just birth is a shame.

Caste based on birth is a distortion. Caste is One & is a life concept distorted by confused people. It means that to live life intelligently we need to effectively balance the 4-forces within - Thinker, Protector, Economist, Worker - and also while governing society. This is all based on natural human intelligence.
