There is no caste system in ancient times. It was verna system, which is different from caste system which Britishers introduced.. Anyone can get into any varna based on the kind of work they did.

[@vivekreddy601]

No they didn't introduce caste system. They dealt it in a fashion that led to hostility between various communities. To say caste was only a British construct is to say there was no India before 1947 or there is nothing known as hinduism before someone gave a name.

[@ramabapat]

Wrong. People married among themselves because the lifestyles were very different. Who would want to marry a poor Brahmin with an extremely strict lifestyle? Anyway, a shopkeeper’s boy or girl grew up learning the trade. Why would he or she pick up a new trade?

[@amazingdude9042]

@@talluris.prabhakar2782 yeahh. Why don't you enlighten the world and post all those verses from it on youtube ??

[@panjabipandit]

@@vivekreddy601 True but the fact remains that they took a system they were familiar with (the Portugese Casta System) in order to explain something they were not familiar with (The Indic Varna System) rather than trying to learn the latter and its unique nuances. Therefore they most definitely did introduce what we know and understand to be the caste system today except this framework does not explain the caveats we see in history as touched on by this video (why are different "castes" intermarrying in history? This is barred in the Portugese system) and why, like many colonized societies, we have such a hard time decolonizing our country, perceptions of history and culture, and most importantly our mind.

[@panjabipandit]

@@talluris.prabhakar2782 Seems like you didn't understand why our ancestors made a difference between smriti (cultural literature) and shrutu (The Vedas). The Rigveda clearly states that Brahman created humans of the 4 qualities He is made up of. Varna has always originally meant quality. This means I was made up of all 4 varnas, you are and so is everyone else. He did not say he is making professions. Humans made this term mean that by attributing professions to someones personalities. Someone who pursued The Vedas became known as a Brahmin, someone interested in weapons and the army became a Kshatriya, so on so forth. People moved varnas. Shudras became Brahmins etc. Just like someone today can go from working a 9-5 job in a shoe store to pay for college and then go on to med school and become a doctor. Same way a doctor can retire and own land later in life. These titles changed per the will of the person and their desire. You weren't born into it anymore than the son of a doctor is not born with some god given ability to perform surgery without proper education. Manusmriti is a smriti. It is an opinion of the author by virtue of its classification as a smriti not the word of God. This text comes thousands of years after The Vedas and even other smriti texts like The Gita wherein we see people like Karna being raised in Shudra homes and becoming one of the greatest Kshatriya's moreso than even Arjuna. I would recommend you learn the difference between smriti and shurti, which texts are which, etc. Otherwise you'll mix up Hinduism with the culture of the Hindus which are distinct and many times contradictory. The practices you quoted (Sati, untouchability (never found in any text smriti or shruti), and devdaasi) are all culture. Not Hinduism. I would also urge you to learn The Vedas instead of, presumably, reading third-party interpretations to inform you of something you could just read yourself to know whether whatever you were told was right or wrong. People on KZbin aren't being paid to educate you and you have no excuse to not read these texts yourself as you obviously have access to the internet. I don't say this to be rude, but I'm just a straightforward person and I think before incurring the karma of spreading ignorance, why not educate yourself on it? Then perhaps the discussion would be more meaningful because right now its like trying to have a discussion with someone about how the sky is blue and they keep telling you "no it's green", what do you get from that? A waste of time and energy. Unless you prefer to take some inherent hatred out on Hinduism and blame it for things that you assume to be the cause of your hurt rather than educating yourself on the fact that perhaps its just bigoted ignorant people that do things and try to say its their religion when it is not. In which case God bless because knowingly or unknowingly you are becoming the same and projecting the same energy out as was done to you and I'm sorry for that.

[@SanjeeveRao]

Purpose of Brahmin (man or woman) is to achieve spiritual goals in life. A woman of lower varna, can benefit from the spiritual growth of the Brahmin. A Brahmin woman, knowing the benefits of spiritual growth, among her family, would not want to marry into a varna lower than her own, because each of these varnas as they go lower, are more materialistic than the previous one. She was not interested in such desires. Modern day people are all similar in thinking when it came to accumulation of wealth. So, the varnas are for name only. No benefit. So, people are going for luxury

[@jaswantsingh9287]

Casteism was introduced by Colonial British 250years ago.India got Independence from colonial British 75 years ago but has not abolished caste system yet. IT seems politicians and temple pundits love caste system for manipulating the illiterate masses... Colonialism hangover still in the head.

[@hdthor]

There are many people who wrongly think that they get their varna at birth, and not realizing that it requires a careful upbringing and value system. There is no varna in genetics, it is entirely in mindset and upbringing.

In Islam it's even worse . Sunni, shia , deoband and so on , and they even kill each other . They convert not due to the differences in Hinduism but due to the lies, false promises , materialistic traps and brain washing propaganda by the other religions as part of their plan to expand their religion It's due to the false propaganda they are getting converted

[@varundeshpandevd]

I am no expert in the history of ancient Hindu society, but I feel it's very convenient today to say that the shudras were not discriminated by the Kshatriyas, Brahmins and the Vaishyas. We have numerous documented evidences of this very fact. Very disheartening to see someone advocating the "Varna" system that became the foundation of the regressive "Caste" system of the Hindu society. Even today the Dalits in several places of India are given a second class treatment. We need to create equality of opportunity in education and jobs, and make healthcare and technology easily accessible to truly get over the Caste barrier. Having said that, I love the awareness that this channel creates on several other issues 💐.

ok so it was hierarchical i understood.Definitely a Scientist will have a higher respect as compared to an ordinary engineer. It is still in functioning today. It was correct for that time cause it was isolated and operated correctly. But today, we have these atrocity litrarture today. It should be operated rigidly and changing Varna should be easy based on Karm. A boy who was although born as a son of Doctor -Shudra by birth but by karm he became IAS - a Kshatriya so he should be allowed to marry a Kshatriya girl by birth or by karm - This was allowed in ancient times. But Now even a Brahmin girl by birth or Karm should be allowed or tolerated to marry that boy. - This also happened in ancient times but rarely. So looking at this I agree with what was practiced in Ancient times. Inter-caste or Inter-VARNA. Inter sub caste marraiges should be promoted and everything should be respected or atleast tolerated. Promoted only when it is ensured that resources and capabilities are not getting wasted. sorry ananth but with my understanding. There's nothing in it I felt was any kind of Nazi or Brahminical supremacist. Cause In previous videos he has clearly explained that Varna system used to recognize you by birth but gives more importance to karm. And see it is obvious that a Father would prefer to marry his daughter to a person who has same profession like hers to ensure that her capabilities are not being wasted. So anywhere it is being ensured then it is fine and this heirarchy is also fine when it is being recognised by Karma not Janm.

Varna according to the Gita is based on Guna or The three Mental Characteristics which make him suitable one of four functions of which there are only Four Castes The Mahabharata (Yudhisthira) states that knowledge and Character determines one’s caste and not birth in a family line. Jati or sub-caste is based on birth in a family line, regardless of character or learning. There are hundreds of jati while there are Only Four Varna’s. Therefore in a discussion which is intended to enlighten the Public the Speaker must Always state whether he is speaking of Varna or Jati.

One thing which is common between sex ( be it a one night stand or premarital ) and a marriage for life time is “ Mutual Consent between two individuals “ Hope that people understand and respect this . By the way Varna is not Jaati . Varna is one’s own congenital inner quality and Guna . And by congenital quality I don’t mean the father’s or mother’s quality or the traditional profession of the family but rather the individual’s own quality , capacity and Guna . . But jaati on the other hand is defined and determined by the family and community in which an individual is born . And forcing an individual to follow the so called profession of their jaati even if they have the capacity to do something else , something of a much greater or different value is just so criminal and perverse . And the same thing applies for marriage . So let’s not force people into either same caste or inter caste marriage . Let them choose .

To eradicate caste system, firstly there should be - No reservation- No matter what.. But then this is a very difficult thing, so we need to find a solution out.. reservation was based on population statistics available, or say deprived people, and then hence you have open category and various other reserved categories. I'm fortunate enough that I could complete my professional education in an open category with decent amount of marks merit. , But I know of my few other colleagues a few in open category just because of 0.25 marks short.. They could not make it up to higher super professional educations. Also I have very close dear friends from reserved category who are true to their work and have shined in their respective works And I respect them 🙏🌹., And a few others who have wasted the so called or so thought privilege.. If at all there is reservation, There should be a time bound frame which is very difficult to keep. Hence if you are having reservation then there should be a set clause like- Give to economically under privileged people in open category also. There are Brahmins and Parsis who are minorities now, And there are many poor in them too but yet deserving and highly qualified and intelligent, If it is based on reservation then are these people doing anything to these open category people. With regard to reserved category, once a student who has taken admission in reserved category shall Not be eligible for repeat admission again in resort category., Similarly if he has taken admission for his job in reserved category once, And then leaves the job, he will Not be allowed to apply in reserved category again.. he And his family are all "uplifted". Not more than two children in one family should be allowed to take privilege. If more than two children, Then the family should not be allowed to take the reservation as they are preventing their own other colleagues to enter in. Every reserved family needs a seat. But they should not fill up, without giving to other needy in their community. If you are economically well to do, set a margin for it, Then they should not be allowed to take reserved seats. They just eat away seats who really deserve seat in a reserved category.. Once you take reserved seat say in graduation, Then in post graduation, society has "transformed " you, rather "uplifted" you. Once uplifted, the person should not be eligible in job again then in the category.. If you have fill the form in category and you wish to opt admission or job in category, Then you cannot take a seat in open, You have to take seat in your own category as you have filled. If the seats in reserved category go empty, all that they are left later on after admission, the seats should be filled by deserving open categories student only. Not more than 50% reservation should be there for reserved category and 50% mark should be there for open category. This should never be diluted. All this crap has already led to a lot of brain drain from India outside .. If you have taken seat in reserved category then you are bound to do service to the nation again and repay what the society has given you. There should be more opportunity for open categories student that should be created by these people. It is sad that sometimes the true work of leaders who fought for reservation and their true words that reservation should not continue for more than 10 years has been violated by the very people who are supposed to take care of us. If you want to see quality then reservation should eventually disappear.. And if people wish to fight for reservation then these same should Also accept or suggest by which it reaches real needy and ways to decrease the same.. Hare Krishna..

Originally no. It started as Brahman (God) stating he made humans of 4 varnas in this context meaning qualities. All of which he also has and we have all 4 in varying capacities. They were meant to explain personality differences (why one person is great at singing and another at studying/philosophy). However Hindu culture took it and attributed it to professions then over time made it hierarchical. Genetic evidence shows Hindus were mixing before Manusmriti (please look up the difference between smriti and shruti; one is cultural literature the other is religious scripture). Hence all castes in India today are more alive in genetics than they want to think because our ancestors were not as narrowminded as we are today.

If you combine Muslim, Christian and Sikh populations then they are a minority in this country. There are certain States where Brahmins are less than 1 percent, for example, Kerala and still, they have a shortage of brides so to maintain caste purity they are Importing Brahmin brides from UP and Bihar, but many UP and Bihari Brahmin who are financially well-off are not ready to give their daughter because of Racial differences.

How a Shudra girl or girls from other varnas could marry a Brahmin? Don't you think their resources and skill would be wasted if the got married to a Brahmin? Sir, ain't you contradicting yourself? Our caste system is responsible for the decline of Hinduism.

Brahmin women could go to Shudra because their economic condition was same and the ladies could bring the wisdom to the Shudras.

Ki bolchis 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@user-uq6ic8pw8x]

I don't think it works that way lol. All shudras must understand things will improve over atleast 2 generation if u work hard and have good morals. It takes generation to bring things to speed. Marrying brahmin woman wnt serve any purpose. Just dilute the intellects in the country.

No no. Maharishi valmiki was said to be a thief or a mleccha. Lower than a shudra but he wrote the ramayana so u can change. Veda have no such restrictions.

Today, dalits under SC category are able to get education, govt jobs, and everything under reservation quota. India is trying to make it better.

You should not use the word lower varna.. at that time and today the word lower actually conveys what many outsiders think of caste system from it's origin. It morphed to a very different thing in the modern age which is again the thing that should be taught in schools..

[@1973dineshkumar]

People should not use their caste names or surnames. This will ensure the caste system is not practised in work place. Early Promotions for lower caste in government jobs should not be encouraged. South Indians normally use initials with there names or it is fathers name or village name as surnames. This enables people look at the capability and intelligence and work attitude rather than caste.

[@sritharunreddyasokkumar2228]

South Indians also use our surnames within our names along with initials and locality name We use our jathi name with much proud within our name and it is our pride So without knowing don't spread misleading informations

[@1973dineshkumar]

@@sritharunreddyasokkumar2228 I am from Kerala only. Here we use either caste name or fathers name with person name. Only when full name is required in filling some forms we give full name.

[@sritharunreddyasokkumar2228]

@@1973dineshkumar hello I am also from kerala trivandrum I know how many of my friends have surnames within their name Most of my nair friends either have their tharavattu name(traditional house name)or their jathi name (eg:nair,thampi,pullai,kartha,menon,panikkar,namboithiri,etc..)or both tharavattu name and caste name in their name and brahmins also use like nambeesan,bhattathirippad,etc.. many Christians also use surnames like Roy,Perera,etc..in their name and my jathi people and other telugu jathi also use surnames and house names in our names anywhere we settle and in karnataka also the same is happening. So we south Indians use our jathi names proudly in our name especially savarna jathis(upper). So in south india also we people use our surnames Most of the us call either by full name or our jathi names and we r proud of it. And this is happening in the same place where u live ,kerala. Not only my friends I have seen my people like this, ok. So don't say like this or mislead anyone by spreading wrong informations

[@AK-sm7hw]

Completely agree. If we don't remove caste and Varna Hindus will never unite. Scholarships can be given based on income levels not caste

[@1973dineshkumar]

@@sritharunreddyasokkumar2228 You have only mentioned some of the prominent castes of Kerala. You are actually not getting my message. If you read my message properly I was advocating for no discrimination on basis of castes. When u mention a caste as surname a person will tend to differentiate in providing quality service or goods. He may prefer his own caste by giving better discounts.

Inter-caste or Inter-VARNA. Inter sub caste marraiges should be promoted and everything should be respected or atleast tolerated. Promoted only when it is ensured that resources and capabilities are not getting wasted.
