I may quote the story of Satyakama Kabala, from Chandokya Upanishad of the Sama Veda. He didn't know his father's name. Neither did his mother know. He approached Rishi Haridrumata Gautama and told the truth. Rishi accepted him and taught him for his honesty & truthfulness.


Replying to @SanjeevSanskrit

NONE ,BORN AS
A PURE HINDU, WOULD DISOWN U.
U R A FREE BIRD.
YOU R AL IN 1
U R A BRAHMIN

DS S WHAT THE SCRED SCRIPTURES TAUGHT
DATS WHY RAMAYANA WRITEN BY A CHANDALA, AND VEDAS N GITA WRITEN BY A FISHERMAN IS SACRED TEXT OF INDIANS.

So even Vedas have evidence that the real teacher didn't see the jaati or Kula of the real seeker. Satyakama Jabala went on to become a Vedic Rishi later. Vedas reveal themselves to the true seeker with pure heart. Not just because he is born in a certain caste/Kula.

This also disproves the theory that the Vedic knowledge was only given to Brahmins. That was a theory propagated by Christan missionaries, aimed at destroying the core education system.

I completely agree with you... The only thing that the castes have done is to divide Hindus into groups and create hatred for each other due to n number of reasons... It should be done away with..
https://twitter.com/biipuljd/status/1155312826145112064

Birth doesn't guarantee status - those who have it can lose it and those who don't can gain it. The current environment of hate is perpetuated coz of 2 things - to exploit the status thru constitutionally conferred freebies & STUPIDITY to gain status via birth, which is so vain

This is precisely the reason that Indian holy books are not singular and dharma is to be deciphered by Gurus..

One book one law is never universal and can be misinterpreted...

However due to limitations of English language both came to be described as caste. A single house may have ppl of all varnaa. One who wants to spend his life gaining knowledge is brahmana, one who wants to protect his near ones is Kshatriya, one who wants to earn is vaishya 2/3
https://twitter.com/naradeshpande/status/1155156732475129858

And one who derives happiness in serving others is shudra. Without shudra the society can't stand on its feet. That's why it is said padhbhyaam shudro ajayata in Rigveda.. so be happy in whatever profession u r. Caste is never a barrier in whatever one aspires to do..

It means that cast was actually profession and was not genetically defined.  Since,  there is nothing like lower and higher profession,  there cannot be low or high cast. Everybody has right to chose their profession.  All humans are equal.

Sanjeev,  going by Guna Karma, you are a Brahman. Why I say this is because, Gita says "Caturvarnyam Maya shristam guna karma Vibhagasha ". Ones caste is created and determined by Guna Karma matrix. Looking at your contributions, I will bow to you as I do for any Acharya.

I think Vashist also said something to Viswamitra. By birth all are sudra. By doing  karma you become khyatriya and by learning Vedas you become Brahmin.

Dear Sanjeev, India was slave for 1000 years, many hindus who denied to convert in Islam were forced do such work, by muslims, as toilets are made in mosques only.
All Hindus suffered for 1000 years , paid zazia and forced to live under suppress ion,

But no tax like protection tax , I think now it's time that muslims should be levied protect tax in line with Jizya.

By the time Macaulay came, India had been under relentless islamist brutal attack for a 1000yrs. The brahmanas and their temples were all destroyed across the country, and they butchered in temple premises.(repeated every 50 years or so). What macaulay saw was a destroyed society
