I asked my father how much a Brahmin used to take to conduct vedic rituals in 50's or 60's , my father told me everyone was poor and Brahmin used to take 1.25 rs to conduct Puja .. same was the case of Potter and same was the case of lohar .. everyone was same only works were divided or maybe I come from himachal that is not very cast centric society like up or bihar .. but that thing was thought provoking for me ..
Nope not everybody was poor everybody was rich so nobody actually took money for their work rather they had a lot of wealth inherited from family and also land and animals rest of the people had occupation which they did at minimal cost
Actually it's not about a normal Brahmin. It was always about those Brahmin directly under the king. There are many stories where Brahmins are shown dirt poor. It was all politics of the Brahmins in power that changed caste system and solidified their superiority.
Let's read thousands of years old history. Emperor Shantanu married Satyavati, the daughter of a fisherman. His son became the king, so Bhishma did not marry, Bhishma vowed to remain childless for life. Satyavati's sons later became Kshatriyas, for whom Bhishma remained unmarried for life, would they have been exploited? Ved Vyas, who wrote the Mahabharata, was also a fisherman, but became a Maharishi, he used to run the Gurukul. Vidur, who is called Maha Pandit, was the son of a maidservant, became the General Secretary of Hastinapur, Vidur Niti, written by him, is a great book on politics. Bhima married the forest dweller Hidimba. Shri Krishna was from the family of milk businessmen, His brother Balram used to do farming, always kept the plow with him. Yadav has been Kshatriya, ruled many provinces and Shri Krishna is revered by all, gave a book like Gita to the world. * Vanvasi Nishadraj used to study in Gurukul with Ram. His son Luv Kush studied in the Gurukul of Maharishi Valmiki who was a resident of the forest. So it is the matter of Vedic period, it is clear that no one exploited anyone, everyone had the right to education, anyone could reach the post according to his ability. Varnas were only on the basis of work, they could be changed*, which is called the Division of Labor in Economics today. Talking about ancient India, the Nanda dynasty, which ruled India's largest district Magadha, was a barber by caste. The Nanda dynasty was started by Mahapadmanand, who was the king barber. Later he became the king, then his sons too, * later all were called Kshatriyas. After that the Maurya dynasty ruled the whole country, starting with Chandragupta, who was from a peacock-rearing family and a Brahmin Chanakya made him the emperor of the whole country. The country was ruled by the Mauryas for 506 years. Then came the rule of the Gupta dynasty, which ran horse stables and traded horses. The Guptas ruled the country for 140 years. Except for the 36-year rule of Pushyamitra Shunga, * 92% of the time, in ancient times, the rule in the country belonged to those who are today called Dalits backward, so where did the exploitation come from? There is nothing exploitative here either. Then begins the time of medieval India, which is from 1100-1750, during which Muslim rule was mostly in most places. Finally the Marathas emerged, Baji Rao Peshwa, who was a Brahmin, made the Gaekwad, a cow herder, the king of Gujarat, the Holkar of the shepherd caste, the king of Malwa. Ahilya Bai Holkar herself was a great devotee of Shiva. He built many temples and Gurukuls. Mira Bai who was a Rajput, her guru was a tanner Ravidas and Ravidas's guru was Brahmin Ramanand. There is no point of exploitation here. Dirt started in the country from the Mughal period and things like purdah system, slave system, child marriage start from here. From 1800-1947 there was British rule and from here casteism started. Which they did under the policy of divide and rule. In the book "Cast of Mind" by British officer Nicholas Dark, you will find how the British increased casteism, untouchability and how selfish Indian leaders politicized it in their own interest. In the history of these thousands of years, many foreigners have come to the country who have written books on the social condition of India, such as Megasthenes wrote Indica, Fahien*, Hue Song and Alberuni among many others. No one wrote that anyone was exploited here. Yogi Adityanath who is not a Brahmin, Mahant of Gorakhpur temple, Uma Bharti of backward caste has been Maha Mandaleshwar. Birth based caste system was brought to weaken the Hindus. So be proud to be an Indian and save yourself and others from the conspiracy of hatred, malice and discrimination. * Share this post as much as possible ... Connect those Hindu brothers who consider themselves separate due to Mughal, English and Congress conspiracy and create hurdles in Hindu unity. The goal is to connect them as well.
@@TaoriRohan No. It's half true. Karna was denied of education, but not because of its caste. He couldn't recieve it because of he was not from royal family. If your tution teacher don't teach children from your mohalla, will it be counted as casteism??
If West created caste system it was after 15th century , how can Sri ramanujacharya challenge oppressions of higher caste in 12th century on lower caste people for not providing education ?
In Every society discrimination is their, even today, A rishkoy pullers boy cant study in Dhirubhai Ambani school... Its not discrimination, its reality of life...
There light have been discrimination but not in the same way the current scholarship potrays. And moreover Ramanujacharya or any other so called "social reformer" never went against varnashrama dharma but considered it the best form of societal division, be it Buddha or Chaitanya or anyone for that matter. This point is cleraly discussed in the one of the books which Abhijit sir has reccomended - Western Foundations of Caste System - 5. Were Shramana and Bhakti Movements against the Caste System by Martin Farek.

the person who said why the surname of dalits and rajputs are same in gujarat- he called them Dalits on the basis of SC category that has been given by the govt. having SC ST category doesn’t make someone tribal or dalit , secondly categories given by the govt in many parts of india is on the basis of geographical region and the people who were poor or living in backward villages, because same things you’ll find in MP in malwa-nimar region , there also you’ll find ST people and to some extent SC people are having the same lineage of kshatriyas but they are not put in general category solely on the basis of the region they are living in.

These British brought their European Feudal System into India and started calling it Caste System, even the word "Caste" comes from Spanish "Casta". Nowadays many people think they can be called "Brahmins" without reading a Single Scripture! (Although, that is predicted in Book 12 of Bhagavatam)
If caste system was brought by Britishers,then y is it present in Nepali society?. I have seen caste based discrimination in Nepali society also .Nepal was never ruled by Britain. Britishers also ruled North-East, but here we don't believe in such evil practice.
It is also important to know that The so called Caste system was also how European interpreted The indigenous cultures of North and South America's during their Colonization missions. They imposed their own limited understanding of other cultures on Indian society and academic texts.
Yup like the number of crime in caste based cases raised dramatically during colonial period But before Mughal invasion or sultanate invasion or even during their period There isn't so much recorded cases of caste system crimes

One example i would like to give is - Bhilala , which in present time is considered a tribe but originally it was not a tribe but a name given by a British coloniser John malcolm to the Bhil-Rajput lineage, so if you go to gujarat and malwa region you’ll find Chouhans , tomars , thakurs ,rawats ,baghels,darbar,kachwah, and many more included in ST category by the govt of that time.

I'm a dalit and I've had people "shooing" me when i just tried to use their tap water in my village and heard many cases from my family how they would throw away utensils used by us and even use gangajal. If this system is only thrown upon us by britishers only a century ago then why it is so deep rooted into our society?
I don't know that. But I can assure you that in most of cities now caste is not important. Urban hindus use caste only for marriage. And within next 15-20 years caste will disappear in every corner of India.
Even women were not treated well in the past, we still have issues like child marriage, dowry, people killing the newborn girl child. But the society is changing with time and we can see improvement. Similarly this too will go away. We anyway have reservations, string sc st act. You can always find cases of discrimination but just see the improvement. And this is the real world, people will be discriminated, just the parameters will change. Money, status, influence, power.

Acc to what I have heard, the fall of the Maratha empire happened because The Mahars(a dalit tribe) sided with the British because they wer fed up of the discrimination and suffering caused by bhramins in the peshwa period.Of course it did them no good. But it kind of makes sense. How else could the spineless british have taken over the maratha empire.
The Mahars fought for both sides in the war. Later the British excluded the Mahars from the British Army on the basis of the racist Martial Races concept.
Mahars actually supported Maratha empire during Shivaji maharaj rules,Mahars were warriors and guards of fort! The Fall of Maratha empire started when it came in hands of peshwas.

First Mughal invasion was in 1526. British invasion started in 1608. These invaders took advantage of the caste system, caste discrimination and unt*uchability. Unt*uchability and caste discrimination were already in practice since very long time back. Sri Ramanujacharya brought a movement as he revolted against the discrimination of unt*uchability and helped the people who were considered as untouchables. Sri Ramanujacharya belonged to 11th century. A Chinese Traveller named Fahien wrote about unt*uchability. The practise of unt*uchability had begun during the Gupta period. The Chinese traveller Fahien mentions that 'Chandalas' were separated from society. The advancement of Brahmanism led to the neglect of Buddhism and Jainism. Gupta period was in 3rd century.

The solution of this issue lies in the systamatic decolonisation of our Samaj.... We will have to systematically decolonise the critical thought process of our young generations... Like the Britishers did in the initial days of colonisation.
Your knowledge should be included in school syllabus because even now these foreign minded divide between our social ladder has given rise to many tragic incidents. We were forced to forget our ancestral knowledge by invaders in order to dominate the citizens of undivided and prosperous India.
Sir could you talk about the untouchabillty factor,we get too see that some upper caste people still have that "achhut" dilemma in there minds,even there is a mention in mahabharata of draupadi swayamvar of karna being discriminated,kindly please educate us on this scenario.
I agree with your statement that the caste system was the work of the British. Still, I am always conflicted about the Mahabharat stories about how Karna was humiliated by everyone for being a suta putra, including his guru Parashurama... what is the rationale behind this?
Suta means chariot.. Parashuram cursed him for him lying of being bramhan but parsuram got that he is kshatriya.. Dronacharya had taught him but didn't taught about bramhastra..
Will definitely go through your recommendations, but for me it is quite hard to believe that the British did it coz I can see caste discrimination in our scriptures like Ramayana & Mahabharata. Pls also make a video on what happened with Eklavya was right or wrong and also about Surya putra Karna. Eagerly waiting for your views on the same.
You can see "caste discrimination" in Ramayan and Mahabharat because you're probably reading Devdutt Pattanaik or Wendy Doniger or some such agenda mongering charlatan instead of the actual texts.
One thing i know, that in mahabharata, the cauravas and their teachers died for each reason, like duryadhan died becuase he did bad deeds against draupadi, and stole the kingdom of pandavas. Bhishma died because even after seeing the disrespect of draupadi, was silent. And dronacharya too died. And it was because he ordered to cut the finger of his own "shishya" or ekalavya because of his favorite student arjuna
Eklavya ka father jarasandh ka army general tha toh wo chhoti caste ka kaise ho gaya?? Karna bhi kunti ka beta tha par wo victim card play karta tha.. Tv serial na dekh ke mahabharat book pado tab clearity aayegi.. Pehle mai bhi karna ko achha manti thi tv me dekh ke par book me kahani waise nahi hai.. Aur aise toh shri krishna bhi gwalo ke ghar rahe par unhone toh victim card nahi khela..
@@poornimadubey3028 Its not confusing at all if you pay enough attention. Abhijit has already uploaded separate videos explaining the Eklavya matter. As for Manu Smriti, it is among the most seminal of texts among what are collectively called the Dharma Shastras, which were the very basis of paramount future treatises by the likes of Vishnugupt Chanakya (Kautilya) in the north and Thiruvalluvar (author of Thirukkural) in the south. Just because Colonial Indology did a systematic propaganda campaign against Manu Shastra (the same was later propagated by "eminent" Marxists in the academia, and has today become the gospel truth via repetition) by inserting mischievous interpolations and mistranslations, it doesn't make the original samhita what they keep claiming it to be.
#Ask Abhijit was people in india free to marry anyone without any discrimination on the bases of caste ? Because now days there are a lot of problems related to intercaste marriage ?
#AskAbhijit Sir, the current National Anthem of India written by Rabindranath Tagore, was originally written in 'praise' of King George V who was to visit India for a coronation ceremony in Delhi. (In Bengali, "Bharat Bhagya Bidhata" literally translates to The fixer of the fate of India, even 'Jana Gana Mana Adhinayak' translates to The ruler of the people's minds... Jaya He). Is this just another symbol of India being still under colonisation? And should the government change (or really care to change) the anthem to 'Subh Sukh Chain' originally sung by the INA, which practically has the same tune?
Here is another pointer. Shivaji Maharaj was born a Shudra, but he became a Kshtriya. That’s why the coronation happened. Chandragupta Maurya was a Shudra ,the founder of Maurya dynasty. But once you take up the professiona of a Kshtriya, you become that. So, there was fluidity in the society. I have disagreed with Avijit in the past on this issue, but more I read I feel there is lot more shades of grey, and not so black and white.
How long we will be blaming british If west could abolish slavery, make it equal Playing feild to everyone today .why can't india..we don't want to Remove it.
Even if catsteism introduced by British..we can't blame them now..as we became independent nd we have right nd power to remove caste ,like how west removed slavery..it's all fault of people, politicians nd the government.. thank British they made it less to 4..imagine there r more than 4 Castes ...World war 3 would happen in india itself
After India's so called independence. Britishers insured that there agents stays in power like Nehru and Gandhi. And these agents continued this system for there political benefits. Britishers are clearly responsible for caste system as they made it to divide indian society.
For that the labelled lower castes should come forward and give out this labels and should demand equality and should accept support only to financially weaker class. Would they do it, no they wont. Who wants an equal competition where you can easily get reservation in low grades.
During British everyone are equally oppressed. But before British it ,Varnashram is prevalent, shudras are oppressed. Karna was oppressed, Eklavya was oppressed .its fine to accept caste system india. India is not any clean country without social evils , not other countries too. Serfdom in Europe,slavery is US Europe everywhere there are divisions
So, the Indian defence forces & research - innovation, Home ministry police - security PERSONS must be paid huge - this helps India grow & also drive through any tough situation !! Next comes the teacher - educator - skill trainer Then business - job & Remaining people anyways are those who aren't willing to learn & earn via skill / work n just lazy - obviously ignored !!
Both recommended book are written by foreigners and we use it to explain our history. Just read manusmriti and Gita, you will find that how caste system is deeply rooted in India.
See charaksamhita says eat and sleep which is materialistic ,do u believe people idealise it ,rig ved is athesism ,are Hindus athesist ??? During Mahabharat polyandry happened is it accepted ,first time draupadi was openly defamed in court,kings were becoming a mess ,brothers were fighting and bloodthirsty,this is all a representation of what will happen in kalyug so stop that ,so Mahabharata justifies that no one should be denied education based on leniage but talent otherwise dharma would perish ulike dhorna beheaded for karna and the deeds he did due to prejudices
5:09 Yes I agree about this but today's generation needs to understand more we can see so many people just stuck with stupid western vague nonsense ideas and decreased attention span and people don't want to study topics in detail just put out opinions as fast as possible and also revere people who do so as woke or intellectuals
Ambedkar stated that the Shudras of present day Hindu society are entirely different from Shudras of ancient Indian Society, this statement itself suggest that there was the sinister ploy played by some big gangs and their stooges to distort well defined original Varna system based on Guna-karma with the aim to segregate and divide Indians based on twisted caste taggings. BhagwadGeet Shri Krishna says: चातुर्वर्ण्यं मया सृष्टं गुणकर्मविभागशः। तस्य कर्तारमपि मां विद्ध्यकर्तारमव्ययम्।।4.13।। Translation: - The four categories of occupations were created by Me (Krishna/GOD/supreme conscious) according to people’s qualities and activities. Although I am the Creator of this system, know Me to be the Non-doer and Eternal.

The important question is that if "varnas" like Brahmans, shudhras, etc existed thousands of years back, were the Shudhras treated with respect and equality with the Brahmans? The answer apparently is "no".
Vishwamitra was born to a Kshatriya family became a Maharishi, Vedvyas born to a fisher family, Kalidas - vanvasi, Valmiki. If there was birth based ‘discrimination’ how did all them-not ‘Brahmins’ by birth-became ‘Brahmins’?

The caste system as it exists today is thought to be the result of developments during the rise of the British colonial government in India.The British Raj furthered this development, making rigid caste organisation a central mechanism of administration. By 1860 the British formulated the caste system into their system of governance, granting administrative jobs and senior appointments only to Christians and people belonging to certain castes.
Sir caste system is a pre colonial things it was very prominent in india and sanatan society is suffering . Good example are which are our village which are ancient settlement .you can see the mapping on village the outskirts of village are lower caste and as you come center were higher class live .
@@franky7388 Because it is not fact. Last Anglo Maratha war was fought in 1817. Mahatma Phule started schools for dalit in 1840s. some very short period to create caste and discrimination all over India.
I want to raise a question if caste is western invention why Basavanna fought against casteism. Do research about Basavanna. I wish, casteism is western invention and what I read was wrong. That's why answer this Acharya
In manusmriti, it said that you can change caste. like if you pursue education you are brahmin or you do manual labour then you are shudra. it's said that Brahimi's are the head, Kshatriya are the arms vyshya are the body and shudra are the feet. And even in bhagavad gita, I think 3rd section, krishna said you need to follow your verna(caste), I this the Krishna meant that if you don't follow the drama the society will collapse. As for caste persicution, it was real. I belive the reason was, people start to keep pursuing their parents jobs like their parents and as generation spaned, people in brahmins and kshathria got conceited and looked down on people. They banned people from moving up the caste, if you this that how can you force a entire population, well brahmins holds knowledge and khatriya are military personal and rulers, so they have both knowledge and military power to suppress decent.
#AskAbhijit why school is not teaching about fact that how British created caste system in India using their discriminations ideas. Is it not responsibility of school to encourage and increase self confidence of schedule caste
Because it is not fact. Last Anglo Maratha war was fought in 1817. Mahatma Phule started schools for dalit in 1840s. some very short period to create caste and discrimination all over India.
If you see the history of southern Indian , different kingdoms were established from people who were practicing diffrent occupations . Origins of western Gangas, Rastrakutas, Hoysalas, Keladi Nayakas, Chitradurga Nayakas etc. Great Vijayanagar kingdom itself was founded by cow herders, but later the when the inscriptions were translated they were told as Yadava ( Lord Krishna's) lineage. I see it was purely done for political purposes. Another intresting fact is Jainism existed along with Hinduism when the great kingdoms flourished. And the society was less divided atleast in terms of hereditary occupations.
Hello sir. I watched your podcast with ranveer about Indian ancient history. It gave me lot of knowledge about history. Sir with due respect if you allow me to ask about Indian cultural education or about Sadhguru's Isha samnskirti education system.
There was one chapter when I was in class 6 chapter named Vedic age which not about the Vedas at all. The whole chapter was 4 groups kshatriya bramhin shudra vaishyas and how they treat each other. Till this day I have no idea why they named that chapter Vedic age. Or it was for subconsciously trick to make kids believe that Veda are bad they divided india into caste system.
Abhiji sir I am a big fan of your work. Wam glad you are shedding more light on how the British engineered and divided the society. Please do a full video with all evidences. This way there is a huge need for whole India to be re-educated and informed. I am one of the millions who believed this was the truth.
That's something I've been wondering ever since hearing this perspective about the caste system. I think the truth might lie somewhere between the mainstream history and Abhijit's claim.🙄
These are all baseless claims. Check this out. Last Anglo Maratha war was fought in 1817. Mahatma Phule started schools for dalit in 1840s. some very short period to create caste and discrimination all over India.
This Conversation between Yudhistira and Nahusha found in Mahabharat exposes the Truth of Caste System : Nahusha: Who is a Brahman? Yudhisthira: One who posses the qualities of truthfulness, charity, forgiveness, good conduct, mercy, and who observes the duties of the Brahmans should be considered to be a Brahman. Nahusha: These qualities could be conceivably found in a Sudra also.. Yudhisthira: If these qualities are found in a Sudra, then he should be considered to be a brahman. It is the actual possession of these qualities that make a person a Brahman and the lack of them makes the person a sudra. Nahusha then challenged : O King, if the Varna (Caste) of a person is determined by qualities alone and not by birth, then how can the Varna (Caste) of a Child be determined ? Yudhisthira: One cannot be considered to belong to any Varna (Caste) by birth.Every one is a Sudra at the time of birth. Until a person is initiated by a bona-fide Acharya (Teacher), He must be considered a Sudra, no matter how exalted his birth may be.
My village Thiruvasanallur near Kumabakonam where Sridhar Ayyaval ashram never believed in caste.His was life lesson. All Vedic Pataskala where Kanchi Chandrasekara swami studied vedas is not there.
I really like you , but I like to respectfully disagree with you on this . 1) West did use caste to divide but it did not invent it . Instead let's call Varna 2) in Ramayana lord Rama goes to kill a shudra because he was performing a yagnya . 3) in Buddhist literature it's extensively written about how buddha broke the Sangha concept by allowing all . There are many more examples like this
and to add more ,with my little knowledge on Mahabaratham Epic, Karnan was not given a chance for the same. Basically who ever devised the idea of caste/division/separation is its eventually to control or direct other human beings which directly or indirectly affects every individuals rights .
#askabhijit Best book to learn about hindu kings about hindu empire like gupta maurya cholas chalukya rajput and many others.becoz today in India there are many books about mughal turkey invadors but showing them like heroes which is sad . But there is limited books on those hindu king who faught them and defeated them. So can u tell the name of books for knowing about hindu kings.
I recall a line from Tagore's Novel Gora. "I don't want cultureless red-faced hungry animals to speak about our rich culture which is suffering from a disease due to millenium long berberic acts. We have to cure our disease on our own if we have any".
I parsonally recommend to you all that if you really want to know about the Varna system than please read the Bhagwat Gita 18 cheater and verse 41.43.43 definitely it will clear your all dought about the Varna system 🙏🏻🙏🏻
*Firstly, we all need to understand what the caste system was truly meant to be, and how it's become distorted, polluted & weaponised today (Kalyug). The caste system had 4 main castes - Brahmin (scholars), Kshatriya (soldiers, fighters), Vaishya (businessmen, merchants, traders), Shudra (carpenters, masons, lohar, chamar etc). All castes were inter-dependent, and skill optimised for an optimally functional society. A kshatriya soldier would go to battle and lay down his life, for the protection of the other castes, including Vaishyas & Shudras. That was Kshatriya dharm. He would do it in the blink of an eye. Not for himself, but for the larger society he is entasked to protect & die for if necessary. If you would ask a Kshatriya to do trade, business, make a clay pot, he probably wouldn't be able to do it to save his life. Not in his blood. But give him a sword and ask him to charge at a group of 50 people alone in battle, knowing full well that he would be cut to pieces, he would do it with glory and without 2nd thoughts. Ask a Brahmin or Vaishya trader to take a knife and chop off an enemy soldier's head, they wouldn't be able to do it either. There is genetic predisposition to everything. Today, we see some sections of society that excel at certain things- Gujaratis dominate the stock market, Sindhis & Marwaris excel at business, in the Army the Rajput, Jat, Sikh, Gorkha regiments excel at Warfare, Tamilian Brahmins in my school excelled at maths, science. It's in their genes. You can "sugar coat" it all you like in these overly "politically sensitive" times, where "being offended" has become fashionable, but this is true. We see it daily. But we don't acknowledge it. Yes, over centuries, the system has gotten corrupted, adulterated, broken, weaponised & politicised, but that is how things take shape in Kalyug. But we must understand what this system was, it's purpose and true intent, before being all "politically correct" about it. Political correctness may be polite & more palatable, but it ignores the truth*

I can bet casteism would have gone by now in 2023 if reservation was not happen in this country and everyone was equally treated. But in order to give some groups opportunity to grow quickly they have played with fire. Now majority of general category ppl hate them for taking their opportunities in various field. Also because of reservation ppl will always remember the caste, because whenever someone says sc st reservation comes to mind.
I asked my father how much a Brahmin used to take to conduct vedic rituals in 50's or 60's , my father told me everyone was poor and Brahmin used to take 1.25 rs to conduct Puja .. same was the case of Potter and same was the case of lohar .. everyone was same only works were divided or maybe I come from himachal that is not very cast centric society like up or bihar .. but that thing was thought provoking for me ..
Even the economical status of brahmins and sudras are samr, Still Brahmins didn't eat in homes of potter and practice untouchability
Nope not everybody was poor everybody was rich so nobody actually took money for their work rather they had a lot of wealth inherited from family and also land and animals rest of the people had occupation which they did at minimal cost
Actually it's not about a normal Brahmin. It was always about those Brahmin directly under the king. There are many stories where Brahmins are shown dirt poor. It was all politics of the Brahmins in power that changed caste system and solidified their superiority.

Let's read thousands of years old history.
Emperor Shantanu married Satyavati, the daughter of a fisherman. His son became the king, so Bhishma did not marry, Bhishma vowed to remain childless for life.
Satyavati's sons later became Kshatriyas, for whom Bhishma remained unmarried for life, would they have been exploited?
Ved Vyas, who wrote the Mahabharata, was also a fisherman, but became a Maharishi, he used to run the Gurukul.
Vidur, who is called Maha Pandit, was the son of a maidservant, became the General Secretary of Hastinapur, Vidur Niti, written by him, is a great book on politics.
Bhima married the forest dweller Hidimba.
Shri Krishna was from the family of milk businessmen,
His brother Balram used to do farming, always kept the plow with him.
Yadav has been Kshatriya, ruled many provinces and Shri Krishna is revered by all, gave a book like Gita to the world.
* Vanvasi Nishadraj used to study in Gurukul with Ram.
His son Luv Kush studied in the Gurukul of Maharishi Valmiki who was a resident of the forest.
So it is the matter of Vedic period, it is clear that no one exploited anyone, everyone had the right to education, anyone could reach the post according to his ability.
Varnas were only on the basis of work, they could be changed*, which is called the Division of Labor in Economics today.
Talking about ancient India, the Nanda dynasty, which ruled India's largest district Magadha, was a barber by caste.
The Nanda dynasty was started by Mahapadmanand, who was the king barber. Later he became the king, then his sons too, * later all were called Kshatriyas.
After that the Maurya dynasty ruled the whole country, starting with Chandragupta, who was from a peacock-rearing family and a Brahmin Chanakya made him the emperor of the whole country. The country was ruled by the Mauryas for 506 years.
Then came the rule of the Gupta dynasty, which ran horse stables and traded horses. The Guptas ruled the country for 140 years.
Except for the 36-year rule of Pushyamitra Shunga, * 92% of the time, in ancient times, the rule in the country belonged to those who are today called Dalits backward, so where did the exploitation come from? There is nothing exploitative here either.
Then begins the time of medieval India, which is from 1100-1750, during which Muslim rule was mostly in most places.
Finally the Marathas emerged, Baji Rao Peshwa, who was a Brahmin, made the Gaekwad, a cow herder, the king of Gujarat, the Holkar of the shepherd caste, the king of Malwa.
Ahilya Bai Holkar herself was a great devotee of Shiva. He built many temples and Gurukuls.
Mira Bai who was a Rajput, her guru was a tanner Ravidas and Ravidas's guru was Brahmin Ramanand.
There is no point of exploitation here.
Dirt started in the country from the Mughal period and things like purdah system, slave system, child marriage start from here.
From 1800-1947 there was British rule and from here casteism started. Which they did under the policy of divide and rule.
In the book "Cast of Mind" by British officer Nicholas Dark, you will find how the British increased casteism, untouchability and how selfish Indian leaders politicized it in their own interest.
In the history of these thousands of years, many foreigners have come to the country who have written books on the social condition of India, such as Megasthenes wrote Indica, Fahien*, Hue Song and Alberuni among many others. No one wrote that anyone was exploited here.
Yogi Adityanath who is not a Brahmin, Mahant of Gorakhpur temple, Uma Bharti of backward caste has been Maha Mandaleshwar. Birth based caste system was brought to weaken the Hindus.
So be proud to be an Indian and save yourself and others from the conspiracy of hatred, malice and discrimination.
* Share this post as much as possible ... Connect those Hindu brothers who consider themselves separate due to Mughal, English and Congress conspiracy and create hurdles in Hindu unity. The goal is to connect them as well.

the person who said why the surname of dalits and rajputs are same in gujarat- he called them Dalits on the basis of SC category that has been given by the govt. having SC ST category doesn’t make someone tribal or dalit , secondly categories given by the govt in many parts of india is on the basis of geographical region and the people who were poor or living in backward villages, because same things you’ll find in MP in malwa-nimar region , there also you’ll find ST people and to some extent SC people are having the same lineage of kshatriyas but they are not put in general category solely on the basis of the region they are living in.

These British brought their European Feudal System into India and started calling it Caste System, even the word "Caste" comes from Spanish "Casta".

Acc to what I have heard, the fall of the Maratha empire happened because The Mahars(a dalit tribe) sided with the British because they wer fed up of the discrimination and suffering caused by bhramins in the peshwa period.Of course it did them no good. But it kind of makes sense. How else could the spineless british have taken over the maratha empire.
The Mahars fought for both sides in the war. Later the British excluded the Mahars from the British Army on the basis of the racist Martial Races concept.
Lol maratha fall due to lack of leader after died of nana fnadavis
Mahars actually supported Maratha empire during Shivaji maharaj rules,Mahars were warriors and guards of fort!

First Mughal invasion was in 1526.
British invasion started in 1608.
These invaders took advantage of the caste system, caste discrimination and unt*uchability.
Unt*uchability and caste discrimination were already in practice since very long time back.
Sri Ramanujacharya brought a movement as he revolted against the discrimination of unt*uchability and helped the people who were considered as untouchables.
Sri Ramanujacharya belonged to 11th century.
A Chinese Traveller named Fahien wrote about unt*uchability. The practise of unt*uchability had begun during the Gupta period. The Chinese traveller Fahien mentions that 'Chandalas' were separated from society. The advancement of Brahmanism led to the neglect of Buddhism and Jainism.
Gupta period was in 3rd century.
How come British settled untouchables outside of every villages in India?

Just like British listed and documents every caste ,all the caste that found today has being documented by Britisher they divided work and given to their bootlicker Indians Princely states

But it wasn't a widely accepted practice.
And on the top of everything... Shudra was not a derogatory term at all... Because the entire social ecosystem of Bharat existed upon them. Each varna was intended to cooperate together and contribute into the betterment of the entire society....

And throughout this long phase continuous struggle we lost a big portion of our civilisation identity.

The system has fallen prey to corruption, misinterpretation and misprojection over the centuries, not any less by foreign civilisations, particularly in the colonial period of the British Raj, when jativadand casteism was addressed and highlighted as a problematic element associated with the Dharmic traditions.

Pls also make a video on what happened with Eklavya was right or wrong and also about Surya putra Karna. Eagerly waiting for your views on the same.
You can see "caste discrimination" in Ramayan and Mahabharat because you're probably reading Devdutt Pattanaik or Wendy Doniger or some such agenda mongering charlatan instead of the actual texts.
One thing i know, that in mahabharata, the cauravas and their teachers died for each reason, like duryadhan died becuase he did bad deeds against draupadi, and stole the kingdom of pandavas. Bhishma died because even after seeing the disrespect of draupadi, was silent. And dronacharya too died. And it was because he ordered to cut the finger of his own "shishya" or ekalavya because of his favorite student arjuna

@@poornimadubey3028 Its not confusing at all if you pay enough attention. Abhijit has already uploaded separate videos explaining the Eklavya matter.

Just because Colonial Indology did a systematic propaganda campaign against Manu Shastra (the same was later propagated by "eminent" Marxists in the academia, and has today become the gospel truth via repetition) by inserting mischievous interpolations and mistranslations, it doesn't make the original samhita what they keep claiming it to be.
#Ask Abhijit was people in india free to marry anyone without any discrimination on the bases of caste ? Because now days there are a lot of problems related to intercaste marriage ?
#AskAbhijit Sir, the current National Anthem of India written by Rabindranath Tagore, was originally written in 'praise' of King George V who was to visit India for a coronation ceremony in Delhi. (In Bengali, "Bharat Bhagya Bidhata" literally translates to The fixer of the fate of India, even 'Jana Gana Mana Adhinayak' translates to The ruler of the people's minds... Jaya He). Is this just another symbol of India being still under colonisation? And should the government change (or really care to change) the anthem to 'Subh Sukh Chain' originally sung by the INA, which practically has the same tune?

@Aakash Mandal ok good👍
you are wrong just simple ggogle search will tell you this. tagore refered the god of destiny as bhagya bidhata
Here is another pointer. Shivaji Maharaj was born a Shudra, but he became a Kshtriya. That’s why the coronation happened. Chandragupta Maurya was a Shudra ,the founder of Maurya dynasty. But once you take up the professiona of a Kshtriya, you become that. So, there was fluidity in the society.
I have disagreed with Avijit in the past on this issue, but more I read I feel there is lot more shades of grey, and not so black and white.
How long we will be blaming british If west could abolish slavery, make it equal Playing feild to everyone today .why can't india..we don't want to Remove it.
Why west created this problem in the first place ??
First majority ppl need to be aware of it then we can do ...
@@manojs7027 reservation system based on surname should go away.
@@EDUCATION-c7w True its a mess that hard to clean now, don't know when it will happen ..
Even if catsteism introduced by British..we can't blame them now..as we became independent nd we have right nd power to remove caste ,like how west removed slavery..it's all fault of people, politicians nd the government.. thank British they made it less to 4..imagine there r more than 4 Castes ...World war 3 would happen in india itself
After India's so called independence. Britishers insured that there agents stays in power like Nehru and Gandhi.
And these agents continued this system for there political benefits.
Britishers are clearly responsible for caste system as they made it to divide indian society.
For that the labelled lower castes should come forward and give out this labels and should demand equality and should accept support only to financially weaker class. Would they do it, no they wont. Who wants an equal competition where you can easily get reservation in low grades.
This political parties feed on SUch issues
Even Potter from Harry Potter is same. In India Harry Potter would be Hari Kumbhar.
What are your views on writing about chandelas who were not allowed to enter villages??
This is the kind of exhiliry content that i pay my internet bills for.
During British everyone are equally oppressed. But before British it
,Varnashram is prevalent, shudras are oppressed. Karna was oppressed, Eklavya was oppressed .its fine to accept caste system india. India is not any clean country without social evils , not other countries too. Serfdom in Europe,slavery is US Europe everywhere there are divisions
So, the Indian defence forces & research - innovation, Home ministry police - security PERSONS must be paid huge - this helps India grow & also drive through any tough situation !!
Next comes the teacher - educator - skill trainer
Then business - job
& Remaining people anyways are those who aren't willing to learn & earn via skill / work n just lazy - obviously ignored !!
Both recommended book are written by foreigners and we use it to explain our history. Just read manusmriti and Gita, you will find that how caste system is deeply rooted in India.
See charaksamhita says eat and sleep which is materialistic ,do u believe people idealise it ,rig ved is athesism ,are Hindus athesist ??? During Mahabharat polyandry happened is it accepted ,first time draupadi was openly defamed in court,kings were becoming a mess ,brothers were fighting and bloodthirsty,this is all a representation of what will happen in kalyug so stop that ,so Mahabharata justifies that no one should be denied education based on leniage but talent otherwise dharma would perish ulike dhorna beheaded for karna and the deeds he did due to prejudices
Read the original Mansmriti, not translated, read that and you'll come to know. Kid
Get your facts write
MANUSMRITI TALKS ABOUT ONLY 4 VARNAS BRAHMIN,KHSATRIYA,VAISHYA AND SHUDRA THERE IS NO MENTION OF WORD DALIT.
Excellent eye opening video.
5:09 Yes I agree about this but today's generation needs to understand more we can see so many people just stuck with stupid western vague nonsense ideas and decreased attention span and people don't want to study topics in detail just put out opinions as fast as possible and also revere people who do so as woke or intellectuals
Which is why we need decolonisation of our mind.
Ambedkar stated that the Shudras of present day Hindu society are entirely different from Shudras of ancient Indian Society, this statement itself suggest that there was the sinister ploy played by some big gangs and their stooges to distort well defined original Varna system based on Guna-karma with the aim to segregate and divide Indians based on twisted caste taggings.

#AskAbhijit Sir according to my arihant NDA/NA book Prithivi Raj chahuan and MD.Ghori fought only 2 battles in which 1st battle was won by prithvi raj and second battle of tarain was won by ghori , but some theories also says that ghori and prithvi raj fought more than 17 battles so what is the truth ?
@Satya MATLAB ? He attacked 17 times toh Prithviraj ne usey 17 baar haraya bhi hoga ?
@Satya and bro main bada confused hu kyuki NDA course main sirf 2 baar likha hain and Maine 17 times wala theory pada hain toh bada confusion hora hain .
@Jatin Kumar Bro but kuch stories bolti hain ki Prithvi raj ne 16 baar ghori ko haraya and 17th fight har gaye so ye jhoothi theory hain kya ?

Its refreshing to hear from a Man's point of view of world affairs past& present not influenced by western mind set .
The important question is that if "varnas" like Brahmans, shudhras, etc existed thousands of years back, were the Shudhras treated with respect and equality with the Brahmans? The answer apparently is "no".
Exactly 🤣
Great work Sir.
Vishwamitra was born to a Kshatriya family became a Maharishi, Vedvyas born to a fisher family, Kalidas - vanvasi, Valmiki. If there was birth based ‘discrimination’ how did all them-not ‘Brahmins’ by birth-became ‘Brahmins’?
@@Agnosticcc-x3m yeah I think the Varna system initially functioned well at that time but slowly it turned itself into the discriminatory caste system that we know about
@@Agnosticcc-x3m Ya, i think it happened after guptas fell

I have a question
What's the difference between general, obc, st, sc and brahmin, kshatriya, vaishya and shudra ?
The caste system as it exists today is thought to be the result of developments during the rise of the British colonial government in India.The British Raj furthered this development, making rigid caste organisation a central mechanism of administration. By 1860 the British formulated the caste system into their system of governance, granting administrative jobs and senior appointments only to Christians and people belonging to certain castes.
No
@@kingpin7392 yes
Surprising West ruled most other countries but no casteism anywhere.
Sir caste system is a pre colonial things it was very prominent in india and sanatan society is suffering .
Good example are which are our village which are ancient settlement .you can see the mapping on village the outskirts of village are lower caste and as you come center were higher class live .

I researched from Wikipedia that before the Turkic invasion (late 12th century) varna system is india is flexible but after it became very rigid
I want to raise a question if caste is western invention why Basavanna fought against casteism. Do research about Basavanna. I wish, casteism is western invention and what I read was wrong. That's why answer this Acharya
In manusmriti, it said that you can change caste. like if you pursue education you are brahmin or you do manual labour then you are shudra. it's said that Brahimi's are the head, Kshatriya are the arms vyshya are the body and shudra are the feet. And even in bhagavad gita, I think 3rd section, krishna said you need to follow your verna(caste), I this the Krishna meant that if you don't follow the drama the society will collapse.
As for caste persicution, it was real. I belive the reason was, people start to keep pursuing their parents jobs like their parents and as generation spaned, people in brahmins and kshathria got conceited and looked down on people. They banned people from moving up the caste, if you this that how can you force a entire population, well brahmins holds knowledge and khatriya are military personal and rulers, so they have both knowledge and military power to suppress decent.
#AskAbhijit why school is not teaching about fact that how British created caste system in India using their discriminations ideas.
Is it not responsibility of school to encourage and increase self confidence of schedule caste
Because it is not fact. Last Anglo Maratha war was fought in 1817. Mahatma Phule started schools for dalit in 1840s. some very short period to create caste and discrimination all over India.
If you see the history of southern Indian , different kingdoms were established from people who were practicing diffrent occupations . Origins of western Gangas, Rastrakutas, Hoysalas, Keladi Nayakas, Chitradurga Nayakas etc. Great Vijayanagar kingdom itself was founded by cow herders, but later the when the inscriptions were translated they were told as Yadava ( Lord Krishna's) lineage. I see it was purely done for political purposes. Another intresting fact is Jainism existed along with Hinduism when the great kingdoms flourished. And the society was less divided atleast in terms of hereditary occupations.
Hello sir. I watched your podcast with ranveer about Indian ancient history. It gave me lot of knowledge about history. Sir with due respect if you allow me to ask about Indian cultural education or about Sadhguru's Isha samnskirti education system.
There was one chapter when I was in class 6 chapter named Vedic age which not about the Vedas at all. The whole chapter was 4 groups kshatriya bramhin shudra vaishyas and how they treat each other. Till this day I have no idea why they named that chapter Vedic age. Or it was for subconsciously trick to make kids believe that Veda are bad they divided india into caste system.
“The entirety of the Pakistani army are Muslim Rajputs” 😂😂😂😂 the delusion the Pakistanis face against what they’re lineage is is insane.
Abhiji sir I am a big fan of your work. Wam glad you are shedding more light on how the British engineered and divided the society.
Please do a full video with all evidences. This way there is a huge need for whole India to be re-educated and informed.
I am one of the millions who believed this was the truth.
Did British teach people to look down upon the people of lower cast which I have seen myself in the society?
That's something I've been wondering ever since hearing this perspective about the caste system. I think the truth might lie somewhere between the mainstream history and Abhijit's claim.🙄
These are all baseless claims. Check this out. Last Anglo Maratha war was fought in 1817. Mahatma Phule started schools for dalit in 1840s. some very short period to create caste and discrimination all over India.
If there was no cast based differences in society then why Gautam Budha raised voice against it.

This Conversation between Yudhistira and Nahusha found in Mahabharat exposes the Truth of Caste System :
Nahusha: Who is a Brahman?
Yudhisthira: One who posses the qualities of truthfulness, charity, forgiveness, good conduct, mercy, and who observes the duties of the Brahmans should be considered to be a Brahman.
Nahusha: These qualities could be conceivably found in a Sudra also..
Yudhisthira: If these qualities are found in a Sudra, then he should be considered to be a brahman. It is the actual possession of these qualities that make a person a Brahman and the lack of them makes the person a sudra.
Nahusha then challenged : O King, if the Varna (Caste) of a person is determined by qualities alone and not by birth, then how can the Varna (Caste) of a Child be determined ?
Yudhisthira: One cannot be considered to belong to any Varna (Caste) by birth.Every one is a Sudra at the time of birth. Until a person is initiated by a bona-fide Acharya (Teacher), He must be considered a Sudra, no matter how exalted his birth may be.
My village Thiruvasanallur near Kumabakonam where Sridhar Ayyaval ashram never believed in caste.His was life lesson. All Vedic Pataskala where Kanchi Chandrasekara swami studied vedas is not there.
I really like you , but I like to respectfully disagree with you on this .
1) West did use caste to divide but it did not invent it . Instead let's call Varna
2) in Ramayana lord Rama goes to kill a shudra because he was performing a yagnya .
3) in Buddhist literature it's extensively written about how buddha broke the Sangha concept by allowing all .
There are many more examples like this
and to add more ,with my little knowledge on Mahabaratham Epic, Karnan was not given a chance for the same. Basically who ever devised the idea of caste/division/separation is its eventually to control or direct other human beings which directly or indirectly affects every individuals rights .

#askabhijit Best book to learn about hindu kings about hindu empire like gupta maurya cholas chalukya rajput and many others.becoz today in India there are many books about mughal turkey invadors but showing them like heroes which is sad . But there is limited books on those hindu king who faught them and defeated them. So can u tell the name of books for knowing about hindu kings.
I recall a line from Tagore's Novel Gora.
"I don't want cultureless red-faced hungry animals to speak about our rich culture which is suffering from a disease due to millenium long berberic acts. We have to cure our disease on our own if we have any".
Every varna
Brahmims-shankaracharya,savarkar
Kshatriya- chatrapathi shivaji maharaj, maharana pratap,rajarajchoula,surajmal
Shudra- Ravidas ji , komram bheem ,allurisita ramraju

#askabhijit
This man is gem, a pure diamond
I parsonally recommend to you all that if you really want to know about the Varna system than please read the Bhagwat Gita 18 cheater and verse 41.43.43 definitely it will clear your all dought about the Varna system 🙏🏻🙏🏻
*Firstly, we all need to understand what the caste system was truly meant to be, and how it's become distorted, polluted & weaponised today (Kalyug). The caste system had 4 main castes - Brahmin (scholars), Kshatriya (soldiers, fighters), Vaishya (businessmen, merchants, traders), Shudra (carpenters, masons, lohar, chamar etc). All castes were inter-dependent, and skill optimised for an optimally functional society. A kshatriya soldier would go to battle and lay down his life, for the protection of the other castes, including Vaishyas & Shudras. That was Kshatriya dharm. He would do it in the blink of an eye. Not for himself, but for the larger society he is entasked to protect & die for if necessary. If you would ask a Kshatriya to do trade, business, make a clay pot, he probably wouldn't be able to do it to save his life. Not in his blood. But give him a sword and ask him to charge at a group of 50 people alone in battle, knowing full well that he would be cut to pieces, he would do it with glory and without 2nd thoughts. Ask a Brahmin or Vaishya trader to take a knife and chop off an enemy soldier's head, they wouldn't be able to do it either. There is genetic predisposition to everything. Today, we see some sections of society that excel at certain things- Gujaratis dominate the stock market, Sindhis & Marwaris excel at business, in the Army the Rajput, Jat, Sikh, Gorkha regiments excel at Warfare, Tamilian Brahmins in my school excelled at maths, science. It's in their genes. You can "sugar coat" it all you like in these overly "politically sensitive" times, where "being offended" has become fashionable, but this is true. We see it daily. But we don't acknowledge it. Yes, over centuries, the system has gotten corrupted, adulterated, broken, weaponised & politicised, but that is how things take shape in Kalyug. But we must understand what this system was, it's purpose and true intent, before being all "politically correct" about it. Political correctness may be polite & more palatable, but it ignores the truth*
Lol, varna is not caste or jati, the caste system is a European colonial feudal system other than that i accept some of your other points.
@@trollarasan Wasn't talking about Kul, Vansh, Jati, Varna. Those are sub classifications, and much more deeper. My explanation was meant to give a surface view. Obviously it's much deeper than that. And here's your juvenile go to - Lol
@@nxva8726 When did laughing become juvenile? are you self projecting here.
No, they are not sub-classification.
caste classification OC, BC, OBC, SC/ST.
Varna classification Brahmins, Kshatriyas, vaishyas, sudras.
There are thousands of jatis forced fitted under the above caste classification.
@@trollarasan Laughing isn't juvenile. Using "LOL" is... what are you, 12? The broad classification is - Vansh, Kul, Jaati, Linga. Under these are sub classifications. Varna is much more downstream in the classification subsets. Now tell me I'm just making this stuff up, because that's what I'm expecting you to counter with rather than answers with more depth & knowledge. I think you just learnt a new word from Abhijit and now you're a You Tube expert. Cute. A condescending retort from you is so expected
@@nxva8726
Lol means laughing. How juvenile can you be?
What are you 5?
That's quite rich coming from you, who is pretending to be a youtube expert. How ironical can you be?
Instead of running away please prove
How is caste is same as varna, jati, kul?
In fact a jati/vansh/kul can produce all four varnas.
So how is jati sub-classification?
When you are so condescending accuse others of condescending. Are you self projecting here.
If you don't want to debate end it here instead of posting condescending comments.
I can bet casteism would have gone by now in 2023 if reservation was not happen in this country and everyone was equally treated. But in order to give some groups opportunity to grow quickly they have played with fire. Now majority of general category ppl hate them for taking their opportunities in various field. Also because of reservation ppl will always remember the caste, because whenever someone says sc st reservation comes to mind.
