why is caste brought up every couple of weeks on HDF. do these people ever use the 'search' button?
Varnashrama Dharma (Caste System) is very easy to explain:
CASTE is good.
--Caste is determined by birth, character, and action. The last two determined/determines the previous/next birth.
CASTEISM is bad.
--Casteism, or discrimination based on caste, arises due to societal norms which have broken down over millenia in India. Birth became the presiding factor and the other two, character & action, were relegated to secondary status. Thus, those being born in so-called "higher" castes ill-treated some of the "lower" caste people. Education of Varnashrama Dharma can eradicate casteISM.
Many people, especially mlecchas, have a knee-jerk reaction to Varna.
In India, we have a habit of saying what we mean and meaning what we say.
End of story.
