  • On News Point, we discuss the debate sparked over the newly appointed ICHR Chairman Y Sudershan Rao's blog stating that the caste system worked well in ancient India. Historians discuss the matter of caste system that existed in India and whether the present day idea that it was an exploitative social system is a misinterpretation. (Audio in Hindi)

    My husband's ancestor was Ramram Basu, who was appointed as a Professor in Bengali and Sanskrit in the Fort William College in Calcutta in 1800. The Brahmins of that college objected that a Kayastha could not teach Sanskrit. His appointment was postponed for 4 years until Warren Hastings intervened. Thus, it is absurd to say that there was no caste system in India before the British came.

      Proof is in your statement that caste system is modern. Your ancestor was a professor in a college setup by the British. Why would he allow other castes (ethnicities) to be eligible for his job? This is no different to people wanting less immigration to keep their wages higher. So do Donald Trump anti-immigration parochialists follow ancient Indian caste system?
      Both caste and modern versions of hinduism are positive orientalism. Neither existed in pre-modern India in a consistent way across India.

      In 900CE most of modern day India did not speak or understand devanagari sanskrit. Were translations floating around for people in Kanyakumari and Bengal to understand this? Who was travelling across the subcontinent, risking confrontations with tigers, leopards and hostile tribes, to translate and spread this word?
      The history is the same with Islam - Urdu scholarship, much like modern Sanskrit scholarship, was institutionalized under the British.
      I am not saying caste based discrimination does not exist in India - it obviously does. But it is not an ancient monolothic practice. It was institutionalized in 17th century onwards.

    they r presenting mythology (and lame unconnected pseudo-science and pseudo-documentary by mythostorians in support of that) as history, and presenting history as mythology. Remember, those who dont respect their history, history repeats itself and give big punishment.

The first nabob (now king) of Oude, was a petty merchant; the first peishwa, a village accountant; the ancestors of Holcar were goatherds; and those of Scindia, slaves. All these, and many other instances, took place within the last century. Promotions from among the common people to all the ranks of civil and military employment, short of sovereignty, are of daily occurrence under native states, and this keeps up the spirit of the people, and in that respect partially supplies the place of popular institutions. The free intercourse of the different ranks also keeps up a sort of circulation and diffusion of such knowledge and such sentiments as exist in the society. Under us [i.e. in Britain], on the contrary, the community is divided into two perfectly distinct and dissimilar bodies, of which the one is torpid and inactive, while all the sense and power seems concentrated in the other… " Source: Dow, Alexander, The History of Hindostan, vol.

      In Hinduism, birth based caste is a superstitious system, however Varna was the original system, in Varna there was no upper or lower, people chose the work of which they are qualified for and according to Bhagavad Gita, anyone can be a Brahmin (Teacher, Scholar profession), Shatriya (Warrior, Army profession), Vaishya (Trader, Business profession), Shudra (Other social workers) based on as per their skills, knowledge, and capabilities:
      🔹In Bhagavad Gita 4:13, Krishna says that he created different Varnas (Profession) on the basis of one's Karma (Activity) and Guna (Quality).
      🔹Bhagavad Gita 5:18 "The truly learned, with the eyes of divine knowledge, see with equal vision a Brahmin, a cow, an elephant, a dog, and a dog-eater"
      🔹Bhagavad Gita 9:29 "I am equally disposed to all living entities: there is neither friend nor foe to Me: but those who with living sentiments render divotional service unto Me, such persons are in Me and I am in them."
      🔹Bhagavad Gita 18:41 "The duties of the Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras are distributed in accordance with their guṇas (quality) and not by birth.
      Caste is a Spanish and Portuguese word 'casta' which stands for 'Breed' or 'lineage'.
      During earlier times Caste use to be Varna (Profession) and based on merit and not merely by birth, I can give instances from the ancient times, where a so-called modern day "lower caste" moved to "upper caste", e.g. Guru Valmiki, Kabir Das was from a shudra family but became a brahmin based on merit, etc
      and btw Ravana, his younger brother Kumbhakarna all were Brahmins knowledgeable person from Northern India but because of their notorious activities all were punished by Rama (believed to be an OBC if we abide by today's caste categorization).
      Lastly, you have to understand the British motive behind imposing caste:
      The Caucasians (Europeans) created Hutus and Tutsis in Rwanda, Africa, to divide and control the native population, and for this reason, the Rwanda Genocide occurred.
      The same attempts and inequalities Europeans also tried to create amongst Indians by separating Northern India and Southern India into "Aryans" VS "Dravidians" and further dividing Hinduism into 3,000 castes and 25,000 sub-castes.
      And also read about Herbert Hope Risley who created casteism, racism in Indian society by one's facial features and skin color, and Bishop Robert Caldwell who propagated the "Aryan Invasion" in Southern India to convert "Dravidians" into Christianity.

      Because caste word comes from the roots of Portugese word Casta first used in 1569 and when Portugese came to India in 1628 they employed this word to divide people and spread hatred among us for political gains and facilated mass conversion. when the Iberians came to Asia and the Americas, they began classifying people by descent. The Indian society used to run on the basis of 'Gotram' and and their are ample examples around you to check that a Brahman and a person belonging to Sc/St category have the same gotram which makes them a family. So this caste system decided by birth and all that is a sham that has taken over to divide the people. One can also check the Bhagvad Geeta chapter 18 verse 41 where it is written that the duties of Brahman kshatriya vaishya shudra are distributed according to their qualities and not by birth. And in no scriptures Vedas Purana Upanishads it is written that varnas are based on birth. And also in chapter 18 verse 43 it is written that one's varna is decided by their own actions and capabilities and karma(also written in manusmriti adhyay 10). Caste system (based on birth) was never born in India and isn't mentioned in any of the scriptures

    There is one important aspect about caste system has been awfully. In my opinion the caste system is directly and solely responsible for all the defeats, humiliation and destruction of this country. Because, The caste system debars the 2/3 rd. of population from learning art of war or use of weapons. It lays that except the Rajputs no one was to fight The Rajputs were responsible for protection of territory and all their subjects. This lead to a situation where when the invaders came the two third of population was just spectators. And gave birth to a belief that " Kou nrip hoi hme ka hani...cheri char na houb rani" It was felt that who ever may rule the Brahmin will continue to do puja, Vaishya will continue doing business and shudra will keep carrying out services. A nation so resigned and convinced that their fate will never change, they can become a king or rich businessmen slowly detoriated and fell easy pray to all invaders.

      The Upanishads are the highest authority on what Hinduism is. It doesn't mention the caste system we follow. Upanishads proclaim one God that is Brahman and all other life forms originated from Brahman and each life form has a part of Brahman in them called Atman. But due to ignorance the individuals are not able to realise this truth that they are part of Brahman. Once the darkness or ignorance is removed, the individuals can realise they are derivatives of Brahman itself. This is what the rishis realized in their deep meditation- i.e Aham Brahmasmi meaning I am Brahman. If each individual is derived from Brahman, obviously the whole world is one family- Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam! It's not very difficult to understand. But the so called priests/ Brahmins distorted this truth and devised caste system to for selfish reason. They degenerated the beautiful Sanathana Dharma for selfish reason and this resulted in the decline and conquer of India . It's high time we bring the truths of Sanathana Dharma, where the only merit is goodness.

    In Hinduism, birth based caste is a superstitious system, however Varna was the original system, in Varna there was no upper or lower, people chose the work of which they are qualified for and according to Bhagavad Gita, anyone can be a Brahmin (Teacher, Scholar profession), Shatriya (Warrior, Army profession), Vaishya (Trader, Business profession), Shudra (Other social workers) based on as per their skills, knowledge, and capabilities:
    🔹In Bhagavad Gita 4:13, Krishna says that he created different Varnas (Profession) on the basis of one's Karma (Activity) and Guna (Quality).
    🔹Bhagavad Gita 5:18 "The truly learned, with the eyes of divine knowledge, see with equal vision a Brahmin, a cow, an elephant, a dog, and a dog-eater"
    🔹Bhagavad Gita 9:29 "I am equally disposed to all living entities: there is neither friend nor foe to Me: but those who with living sentiments render divotional service unto Me, such persons are in Me and I am in them."
    🔹Bhagavad Gita 18:41 "The duties of the Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras are distributed in accordance with their guṇas (quality) and not by birth.
    Caste is a Spanish and Portuguese word 'casta' which stands for 'Breed' or 'lineage'.
    During earlier times Caste use to be Varna (Profession) and based on merit and not merely by birth, I can give instances from the ancient times, where a so-called modern day "lower caste" moved to "upper caste", e.g. Guru Valmiki, Kabir Das was from a shudra family but became a brahmin based on merit, etc
    and btw Ravana, his younger brother Kumbhakarna all were Brahmins knowledgeable person from Northern India but because of their notorious activities all were punished by Rama (believed to be an OBC if we abide by today's caste categorization).
    Lastly, you have to understand the British motive behind imposing caste:
    The Caucasians (Europeans) created Hutus and Tutsis in Rwanda, Africa, to divide and control the native population, and for this reason, the Rwanda Genocide occurred.
    The same attempts and inequalities Europeans also tried to create amongst Indians by separating Northern India and Southern India into "Aryans" VS "Dravidians" and further dividing Hinduism into 3,000 castes and 25,000 sub-castes.
    And also read about Herbert Hope Risley who created casteism, racism in Indian society by one's facial features and skin color, and Bishop Robert Caldwell who propagated the "Aryan Invasion" in Southern India to convert "Dravidians" into Christianity.

I Loved her very much since two years but she has caste feeling she leaves me from then. In my day to day life I experience discrimination, my close friend also not interest to talk with me, from when he knows i am a low caste person.
    high caste people feeling that, they are gods, kings rulers of india. what is your proud?
    how can you judge these is low caste people and how can u judge these are untouchable persons. who gives this rights to you all? see in this world who ever born they have equal rights to live there own fashion, but how high caste people in india treat some ones are untouchable person. this is bad indian culture. i am very shameful to say i am indian.
    i ask question to you all who ever feels that we are high caste....
    1) what is caste ? (ans: it's just a name )
    2) why caste system only appears in india? (ans: because illiterate people and they ego)
    3) which god tolds you someones are untouchable person? (ans: no one told, it just man maded virus)
    4) how did you consider as low caste peoples are servents?
    you illiterate high caste people wake up this is 2015 not 1800's.
    who ever has caste feelings just go and die.
    In this world each and everyone has a soul just respect that soul.

      Seemana Mahale It is stated in the Skanda Purana, 'kalau sudra sambhavah' - in Kali-yuga everyone is basically a sudra. It is only by brahminical qualifications and acceptance of panca-samskara diksa from Sri Guru that one can actually attain the status of a brahmana in the age of Kali. Therefore, the Mahabharata states:

      Just shut up. Who the hell are you to judge the people? B.Gita teaches that these are "innate" qualities (read it as when born) and that it comes from previous birth. This is the cruelty. People had simply no fighting chance at all. Whatever you wrote is from a casteist's manual and Krishna (and you) are the casteists apologists.

    I agree with Y sudarshan Rao 'By Birth Everyone is Shudra' this is is true! There was never term called 'Jaathi' it was always 'Varna' .. it is nothing type, color or practise one who adopts, being born as Shudra a human has right to choose his path, he can become a Warrior(Kshatriya), do a skillfull job (Vyshya), reach divine eternity(Brahmin). A shudra can choose himself to be Shudra too (non skilled person). In short we can be anyone, this caste is created by Brahmin just to distinguish themselves and to keep them at top of rank. I agree our modern day has misinterpreted caste system.

    caste word comes from the roots of Portugese word Casta first used in 1569 and when Portugese came to India in 1628 they employed this word to divide people and spread hatred among us for political gains and facilated mass conversion. when the Iberians came to Asia and the Americas, they began classifying people by descent. The Indian society used to run on the basis of 'Gotram' and and their are ample examples around you to check that a Brahman and a person belonging to Sc/St category have the same gotram which makes them a family. So this caste system decided by birth and all that is a sham that has taken over to divide the people. One can also check the Bhagvad Geeta chapter 18 verse 41 where it is written that the duties of Brahman kshatriya vaishya shudra are distributed according to their qualities and not by birth. And in no scriptures Vedas Purana Upanishads it is written that varnas are based on birth. And also in chapter 18 verse 43 it is written that one's varna is decided by their own actions and capabilities and karma(also written in manusmriti adhyay 10). Caste system (based on birth) was never born in India and isn't mentioned in any of the scriptures.
