Guest guest Posted January 19, 2003 Report Share Posted January 19, 2003 <It is my view that it no longer makes sense to attempt to divide the Hindus into four clearly divided varnas. It did not make much sense even several centuries ago. It has been a myth for a long time.> It is difficult to dispose it off as a myth, given Hindu social history for at least a few centuries, unless one argues that all social structures are based on myths. Even without digging into the past it is fair to say, i.e. irrespective of what scholars and traditionalists say or claim, this would/should be a cornerstone in 21st century Hindu Renaissance. V. V.
