Guest guest Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Caste and Religion are two words for a same thing. For a child who is born in a family his religion as well as caste is attached to it. There is no choice for him to but accept that. All the definition of religion is also applicable to caste system also. In religion the child is made to grow according to the social practices so it is with caste. This is an anamoly in the evolution of mankind. It is a fact of life too. If one accepts a religion for the reason that he is born of a parents which follow a certain religion what is so wrong with the casteism? It is only after the time a human is grown enough spiritually and mentally that he would be able to differentiate between the lines of caste and religion. Casteism can be a socialistic evil but nevertheless an established norm amongst the human beings, one which can be only used to propogate a better awareness and derive acceptance of the truth Sam We were approached by the Managing Editor of Hinduism Today to offer our input on the question of ' Hereditary Caste system' a few days back. We have emailed them offering our views on various aspects and how we cope with the issue of 'Caste' in the field of Education in the UK as well and how this topic may be handled in modern India. We are hoping that Hinduism today will incorporate our ideas in the article they are preparing. The magazine has also approached us for an article they are composing on how Hindus portray Hinduism to the Non-Hindus.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 If I were asked to describe in a few lines, to comment, to provide reasons why Hinduism & Caste have such negative stereotypes, why so-called lower castes are abandoning this great religion, I could do not better than below. This is such a load of BS, the equivocation, the shallow and unsound reasons... this is pure crock. A new-born baby is " attached " to the parents, the family.. not to a caste. There is no choice to accept the familial ties, but accepting caste is plain stupid. This is no anamoly, this is your pathetic attempt to justify caste. Really! Please abandon those primitive and obsolete logic and accept everyone as a human being, not categorized by caste.
