This is probably the most intelligent, comprehensive and practical discourse I have had the privilege of listening to in many many moons. Thank to those who made it possible!
Look forward to reading your book, Panditji. Hope every hindu learns this part of colonial history and stick to sanatan dharm without falling prey to xian conversions.
I have read Pt Satish Sharma's excellent book. A must-read for everyone.
Where can I read it from?

His way of clarifying CS was absolutely clear with a msg of admitting past deeds is the solution of harmony
Unless we quit anglocracy, english, we would keep loosing ourselves
The sooner, we set up one single language sanskritim, declare sanatana dharma the foundation of aryavart, changing the constitution, the more it will be better for the prosperity of Aryavart
Amazing insights 🙏 we the people of India must decolonize our minds first and then decolonize the systems - bureaucracy, judicial, police, etc etc. We need to know the true history of our past which is most important.
Exactly, this is the truth. But the narratives created and written since the late 1800,s, buy the Europeans and later by the converted Indian scholars , Socialists, marxists , leftists,etc. Even it changed the attitudes of sincere gurukul ways and Varna system.
Very eloborative at the same time concise, apt and thought provocative. One has to read this along with book DHARMAPAL' " beautiful free". I am very proud to have Panditji as a the hardest rock to show the greatness of our history. .
Dhanyavad pandit ji.
I will be ordering my copy. I have had to throw out all of my beliefs as I realize that much of what we were taught are lies. Thank you for your work in exposing another evil of colonialism.
That's exactly what the British did in Sri Lanka. Sinhalese againgst the Tamils. And used the converted ChristianTamil minority and Converted Sinhalese Christian Sinhalese to dominate the Buddhist Sinhalese majority. And the British were happily being the overlords exploiting, ravaging the entire nation.
Yaa... We are taught that it our history books. It was called Civil War of Sri Lanka.
The present rice bag converts needs to watch this
even converted katwas 😂
Let them convert and go. As long as we have gomuthr and gobar, we have nothing to loose.
Pranaam Pandit jee.Always in awe of your brilliance ,analytical perspective , enriching presentation . Sir you never fail to clear some or other cobwebs of my brain.Obliged.
Europe was christianized by force of arms, burning up whole religious buildings with people inside who had refused to convert. What a Loving religion!
even in India christian missionaries burned thousands of hindus alive (Goa Acquisition)
Namaskar all
Thank you Pandit for fighting for Sanathana Dharma . Your work is so needed
Thank you for sharing this
What a wonderful enhancement of factual knowledge. I must get this book. Thank you Pandit Satish...
Will you be interviewing Suraj Yengde , to discuss the caste issue from the Dalit perspective.
again missed the point.. just as the prpht did .
Why did western nations create patent and copyright laws to protect "their" knowledge, tried to keep nuclear power knowledge exclusively among themselves, tried to deny supercomputers to India, and so on and so forth, if they thought knowledge should be universally available, there there should be no "caste system" of superior and inferior people in this world?
You want Crypto Christian to talk about caste and issues of Dalits.
Varna Vaivastha is an Indic Anthropological Interpretation of Any Society which comes through you as per your reincarnation and life path these aren't caste based birth based but rather Roles and Responsibilities towards the Profession itself while maintaining Dharma and it's four pillars of Cleanliness, Truth, Compassion & Austerity

Within in Society Chatur Varna
1 Shudhra Artist | Shiva + Rudra
2 Brahmin Seeker | Brahma + Manu
3 Kshtriya Protector | Shakti + Tri Gun
4 Vaishya Explorer | Vishnu + Vayu
5 Sadhu Self Mastery | Sadhana
Reclusive Hermit who ran Gurukul & Ashram in Van away from society for better and higher learning process as it's an ideal place for attaining Shantata (Ideal state of mind coming from Navras) or mental state to imbibe knowledge.
Chatur Varna is for Karma Setup while
Gurukul is for establishing Dharma in all aspects so that each Varna works in accordance to one another as the panch Tatva work with one in prakriti.
All 5 together constitute Panch Varna Vaivasya, Panchnama are not tribals or those outside Chatur Varna but Panchnamas are Sadhus, Sant, Rishi's, Babas, Naga Babas who have renounced everything to pursue Sadhana.
As even in a tribal setup one would come across Chatur Varna system being practiced as someone would be a shaman or a warrior or an explorer or artists which is as Prakriti as in any kingdom or empire or Civilisation. The western interpretation of tribal comes from the word tri as most indeginious, pagan followers have a common lineage of believing in the concept of Trinity of Brahma Vishnu Mahesh or Poseidon, Zeus & Hades or pick any Civilization from Egyptian to Nordic to Greek to Romans and the trinity prevails but with different interpretations names and perception.
Thus we always had a
Panch-ayat System
Ram Rajya Pra-panch
Gram Rajya Sar-panch
Gram Raj Panch-ayat Raj
64 Kalas of Krishna 16 Kala Varna 4x16= 64
112 Sadhana of Mahadev 7x16= 112
In a Gurukul System where Education was taught on Bhiksha Siksha Diksha i.e. imbibing knowledge with humility than Ahanakar students would visit neighbouring village one by one to collect Bhiksha and their overall Interactions to the people along with their inclination towards studies and skills being taught would define their Pravitri. Living and residing in the Garva of Gurus the students would display their instinctive attributes towards each Varna and through their proficiency they would be allocated a certain Varna at their Graduation by the Guru's. If 9 months of Mother's Garva then 108 months in the sharan of Guru or 9 months of 12 years in a Gurukul.
Thank you for your contribution ji.

What is the title of book? Where can I get it?
caste system is already not there ! we had varna system not this nonsense rigid caste system

Excellent. I have shared this with all my friends.
The Indian historic records the rulers brought back with them and still not made easily available should reveal a lot more of the colonials intent that led to denigrating Hindu philosophy and way of life.
Thanks for the your wonderful work
The title is a bit misleading. The British only created the Upper and lower caste binaries and blamed the poverty of the 'lower' castes (a result of their persistent loot) upon the 'higher' castes.
The title is specific, precise and accurate. Your use of the word itself is revelatory and indicative of how successful their brainwashing of us was and is. The book reveals all of this. Thank you for engaging with the subject, its important.
Tbank you
@@thebritishhindu The presiding shankracharya of Puri has done several videos on varna, jati and caste and repeatedly insists that not only is there no difference between caste and jati, but that discrimination based on jati is also justified because the shastras endorse it. He has a YT channel called Goverdhanmath and his views are extremely popular among a growing breed of casteist proud Hindus who like to call themselves Trads. If influential authorities on shastras themselves hold such views, how is it historically correct and fair to blame the missionaries?
@@s.s.4506 Good question. I'm not aware of the guidance being issued by His Holiness so I'm unable to comment but without knowing the genesis, curating and evolution of the term and phenomenon "Caste" it seems to me inappropriate to offer a pronouncement. Please read the book, this issue is too important and too Machiavellian to be restricted to Twitter chat. Thank.you for engaging.
@@s.s.4506 I remember watching shankaracharyas video ......so shamefjl..... imagine you were born in lower caste and someone talking about you this way........Once India was full of such shankaracharyas and was not touching half of its own population.....just because we are Brahmins doesn't mean we should support them.... Even Chinese travelers and parsi travelers have mentioned indian caste system in horrible ways.....no matter how much these people try to blame Britishers and Mughals for it.......just go and visit any local village and see how uppercaste treat lower caste people
@@nikhildeshmukh6221 True. This is nothing but denial and an attempt to whitewash a very unpleasant side of the Hindu society.
Beautiful and very educational ! Thank you ❤
👏👏👏👏👏 So very true.
Phenominal....
" I'm from the government. I'm here to help you ".
" Until well into the colonial period , much of the sub - continent was still populated by people for whom the formal distinctions of caste were of only limited importance ... even in parts of the so - called Hindu heartland . The institutions and beliefs which are now often described as the elements of traditional caste were only just taking shape as recently as the early eighteenth century
It is doubtful that caste had much significance or virulence in the Indian society , before the British made it India 's defining social feature " .
( British Anthropologist Susan Bayly)
" Regarding the origin of caste , we can place no relevance upon the statements made in the Hindu sacred writings . Whether there was ever a period in which the Hindus were composed of four classes is exceedingly doubtful "
( W.R. Cornish , who supervised Census Operations in the Madras Presidency in 1871 )
Wake up Sanatani..
🚩🔱🚩🔱🚩🔱
Panditji is a soft spoken, gentle person , but his facts are devastating for the Abrahamic mindset, which is primitive and diabolical.
When I see every name in ancient India does not have title.. without title it is difficult to recognize caste..but when the names in India started using title ..I don't understand
Caste system had started rigidifying from 5th century CE, b4 that it was still fluid because not all of India was Hindu, local religions hadn't been absorbed.
There was still some fluidity, as caste is identity based, however by the time, Muslims came, Caste had become a rigid system
That is what the material evidence points to
People in Tamilnadu don't use Caste names, that's because of Periyar's movement here.... Yet caste system is imbibed in the culture, people use a lot of different means to find caste...
But still it having no titles in names has a humungous impact.
@@joshuahopper5181 before 18th century also there were no caste names. It was introduced by British Christian missionaries who had the last name. India never had that not just Tamil Nadu. Look at Ramayana, Mahabarata or any of the ancient epics. There were no castes. Only Justice party, EVR, increased the casteist mindsets because they were British slaves paid by the british, Euro Christians fighting against Indian independence.
India had vansha and gotra system. People only identified with their vansha and gotra. No caste existed. Infact today also we marry according to gotras.
Casteism is actually psychological war on indians.
@@roguegenesis7020 caste system started only after the 15 th century Portuguese Christian missionaries came to India. Caste comes from the Portuguese word "Casta". They had a hierarchical system in Europe with church priests at the top. In India kings were always at the top and people never used the jati, varna in practice. The Portuguese did not understand this. So they introdecex, the Europeans including the British had to document this to convert people and that is why, the classifications, schedule lists etc were brought in. Most of the famous, respected gurus were not Kshatriyas or Brahmins. The caste systems were created by the British to divide and rule and mainly for categorizing and targeting for conversion. They used different techniques for different people, because every profession had a different god, rituals, beliefs unlike Christianity with one gid, one book
LoL, even chinese travelers and parsi travelers have mentioned indian caste system in society in horrible ways............. Why we are behaving so cheap ...... putting every blame in strategic way on Britishers and Mughals ......... Just go and visit any local village and you'll find answer 🙏❤️
another crypto christian ! which parsi book u read parsis themselves got shelter in India when they were facing islamic persecution !
also chinese travellers like fa hien huen tsung speak highly about indian culture
indian culture is still intact even after 1000 years of barbaric invasions and slavery hindu society was so interwined and connected that billions of hindus chose to die than converting to islam or even christianity (goa acquisition) why did they chose death over conversion coz they loved to live as a hindu !
Thank you so much Satish Ji, keep up the good work. Jai Shri Ram
I believe in Devi??
The Brifish have left 75 years now , why hasn't caste system vanished
Because it was not British creation......... We had it even before Mughals also....... Many chinese travelers and parsi travelers have mentioned indian caste system in horrible way
coz our india never got independence only transfer of power from white britz to brown britz. politicians using caste card for their own benefits. so many dalit neta we have but none of them do anything for dalits they only abuse brahmins and easily get votes without doing anything
Why did Buddism came? Who was pushyamitra Shrunga? Can we the Hindus shed our caste differences and marry beyond our caste? Why can't a Dalit be priest in a temple after mastering karmkand? If one clrans the gutter in the morning, does the puja and teaches and does some business in the afternoon, to which burn s/He should be put into?
Dalit priests are there in many temples. The word dalit is not even a sanskrit word. The word dalit means *opressed* which favours ur autonomy.
According to Swami Vivekananda's all were Brahmins in the beginning but according to people's working capacity and inclination the varnas were formed and got perpetuated. So if a shudra learns the karmakandas and becomes a priest, or a teacher he does not have to clean the gutter and remain a shudra.
Do you know the background, history of Vyasa, valmikhi, kalidas, Maurya, Sugriva, Guha, Vidhura, Kuchela, Draubadha etc.?
@@lv8520 They don't and never even try to know...for them making allegations is tax free easy job.
buddhism was just a way to attain moksha gautam buddha ji himself was born in kshatriya family ! pushyamitra ji killed only traitor buddhists who were agents of greeks thanks to him our country was saved from slavery of greeks 🙏🏼 we have many dalit pujaris you just go and check
but a pasmanda muslim cant be a maulana neither sc st converted christian can be a church priest 😏

Hi, I know this is an irrelevant comment here but a very serious one...in TN, the educational institutions owned by Hindus are getting targeted purposefully... a teacher in a school has done a misdeed and he should be punished strictly but through this incident, they're trying to target hindu institutions in a planned manner... I have a feeling that they're doing this as part of Joshua project and Lazarus, a Christian missionary guy had recently told their target is to convert TN to Christianity... please shed light on this to ensure that there's transparent and thorough investigation is done and that there's no conspiracy happening against hindu owned institutions
keep on blaming brahmins for it come on we have dug our own grave ! muslims and christians highly idolize their priests but most hindus call pandits as dhongi choti and what not
11min 04sec:
how can the colonial powers rectify the past?
as said by Satish: by working together.
in order to words together we must follow millennia old rule:
vasudhaiva kutumbakam
which means that: all life (all living beings) are one family.
Jesus said it too:
love God with all your heart
love God with all your mind
and
love your neighbour as you love yourself.
see all as your brothers & sisters.
NEVER claim that there is only one path to God - this is pride in its most acute form
this means that you want to be better than others
you want your religion to be better than others
and the only true religion (meaning that others are false ones).
history shows that this way of thinking ALWAYS leads to bloodshed.
NO EXCEPTIONS!!!
we may not believe in the beliefs of others
but we have a duty to respect the beliefs of others as long
as they follow the above universal rules.
the love of God & the love all living beings is the essence
or
the seed of all religions
we may change religion but we have to follow this essence of religion
why can't just love God & all living entities in a Christian way
in a Muslim way and Bharatiya (Vedic/Hindu) way
or any other way?
because of our pride & greed!!!
I'm willing to die for my beliefs
but
I'm not willing to kill for them...

Britisher colonist missionary created Caste System (Casta word in Spanish/ Portuguese has been used as a racial), which was a doctrine part of the divide rule in INDIA. In Hindu Santana Dharma work divide system called as Varna system “वर्ण व्यवस्था” (CASTE NAMED was NOT in the HINDU Santana Vedic dharma text scriptures). Hindu Vedic dharma text scriptures called as varna system which was NOT on the basis of birth but on the basis of KARMA (person's actions). According to Hindu scriptures, the society has been given stability by the work of four varnas - Brahman (work related to education), Kshatriya (protection from enemies), Vaishya (commerce) and Shudra (industry and art). Each person first born in Shudra Varna and then after him/her knowledge go to the next level, even 1st class to the degree of master. If you, born in the Brahman family, are free to choose, you can go work on the Shudra family to become Shudra same if you were born in Shudra you can go to Brahman Varna as the Valmiki Shudra family wrote Ramayana. Britisher missionary created Caste System to divide rule millions of people and looted 45 Trillion from Bharat.
For the good of family ,religion, country Indians should stop adhering to these caste ideologies. God is the sole judge , not some stupid people who think they are privileged by varna.
no1 thinks they are priviledged by varna varna tells u ur duty !
if some IAS Officrr beat pandit ji for no reason isnt that discrimination ? why no uproar when islamists and christians and communist pimps call PM of India as chaiwala what nonsense is this to address your own PM?
How untouchability was existed then?
Please read the book, its all laid out with evidence.
@@thebritishhindu The only evidence you probably can provide is how the British utilised the discrimination in society to their advantage.
Jati is based on the job/duty one have to do in the society.
In practice, jati is based only on inheritance and not based on one's merit to do that job. Today's system based on merit to do a job.
Heirarchy of jati existed. Concept of upper and lower catste is very deeply engraved in the psyche of Indians. This can be seen in Mahabharata also.
The groud reality is that jati discrimination still exists. We still don't understand the democratic idea that we are all equal under law.
@@sharaths8417 Where did u find *jati* discrimination in Mahabharat ? There was only *varna* .
And what u said is opposite....previosuly varna based on merit....but now _caste_ is based on birth.
I can show u verses from our scriptures showing shudras can become brahmins or brahmins can become shudras...i.e. varna could be changed.
@@shakyajitmaulik5579Yes, Varna system was originally based on merit. But as far as i know, the society shown in Mahabharata was practicing birth based jati system. Please correct me if im wrong. If that is the case, we can't just fully blame it on the invaders alone. Right?
@@sharaths8417 No I didn't find any instance on birth discrimination in Mahabharat bro. Karna was mocked bcoz he was a "SutPutra" i.e. Son of Charioteer. None ever said anything about his varna though. The mockery he received was similar to what in modern times we mock someone if he's father is poor or does a socially SO CALLED low job.
Infact after Duryodhan made Karna the King of Anga...he became a Kshatriya...which clearly shows us thag varna is based on merit.
There are other instances too.
Infact as per Manusmriti( the most hated scripture by low castes and dalits who blame it for all caste discriminations)
.....we all are Shudra(illiterate and workers) by birth...we become _dwija_ i.e. twice born as Brahmin Kshatriya and Vaishya after receiving education of Scriptures Fighting and Business respectively.
Interesting but did jathi system meant some low jobs were always done by certain section of society and they could not improve financially and so some kind of discrimination was being allowed
Not true, people can do any job. The ancient and modern kings were from all back grounds. It was always based on guna and karma. Mind and action.
i think jati simply meant - tribes.. as they exist even today in remote locations or africa- tribes and subtribes. bharat having evolved over centuries would have come to a jati system that perhaps predicated on an economic model sinice people must have long got over tribes living in jungles. hence jati related to their profession must have evolved. just a thought!
Another thought, if Hindus were so divided between different castes as they are today, Hinduism wouldn't have survived 1000 years of foreign rule.
@@aadityapandire2937 exactly
In India Arjun award is been given, not Ekalavya/Karna award. Ekalavya the best archer was a tribal, and Karna had no father's identity. So rejected by Pandavas : Rozario, Kolkata.
Dude Please!. Ekalavya and Karna were always inferior to Arjuna. Just read the war between Arjuna and Karna on 16th and 17th days. You will clearly realize that Arjuna was much stronger than Karna. I have sympathy for Karna and Ekalavya but there were never as good as Arjuna.
arjun had other qualities he wasnt proudy like eklavya
also by noble prize is given why not einstein or newton's award? they were better scientists isnt it? what a foolish question

Your logic is that if being a Bengali, if I marry a Bengali, then it shows ethnic supremacy and I don't know which Brahmins used to write Upanishads during Akbar's era or Rajputs used to cook food but I guess some of your ancestor has served too much for any white man and as a result, unfortunate descendants likes you are born.
British and Pakistani cultures are same. There is no difference between Crucifix and Crescent. We should give only that much importance to Britain as we gives to Pakistan i.e Zero. They both got filthy and disgusting mentality. Muslims have always favour British empire and its cultures. We 'Aryans' have to establish the true religion of God which is housed in the Vedas. The supremacy belongs to Sanatan Dharma and if we deviate from God's words then there is no graver sin than this.
Pandit Ji,if colonists were that bad then why are you living in their country?I guess you know that if you were living in india you would be living in sewer system not a country.You speak their language,dress up like them.Why not dress up in white dhoti and have bodi?They are your oppressors,why to embrace your oppressor's life style?show some dignity and leave their country.You seem like you have no shame,rather than showing some gratitude towards them you are condemning them.You should be grateful that colonists gave you English language,railways,roads,hospitals and educational institutions etc.Next time you eat at Indian restaurant make sure you ask the restaurant owner if they let their fellow Indian waiter keep tip or not and if it the waiter has white skin what do they do.You are lucky you are even safe from stampedes in your own temples by living in the country of your colonists.Read the book A Case For Recolonizeation Of India.Enjoy.Please do not forget to take good care of yourself.

In my Ancestry, my great Grandmothers were not allowed to wear upper cloth by the upper castes in Kerela(Travancore Kingdom, It was called 'Breast tax'). Was that created by the British then?
That has been debunked as Marxist manufactured lie from fiction books in 1950s, literally tens of times by various researchers. Please research before spreading Marxist propaganda lies.
My mother lived before Marxism came to Kerala,the Brahmins ...OMG.

I thought it was created by tipu sultan. Just guessing.
@@sheetalverma8940 it was there even before the British had occupied, see Chanar Revolt, the revolt against the Breast tax... Not only a few communities, there were a lot of fisherman communities, other untouchables and Dalits did not have rights to cover their upper body...
Same can be seen in Tamilnadu too.. saying that discrimination was not a part of our culture is a dishonor to the oppressed classes...
I'm saying India is and was a Great country, we had flaws, but accepting that we had our flaws doesn't make us a weaker nation, it just makes us stronger...

not explained..how did untouchability come through? it didnt start in 1844..there are enough books & town planning evidences which show lowest caste of mahadalit could not even cast his shadow on a high caste hindu..untouchability was practised even against muslims bcuz of their food habits..untouchability was practised maybe to avoid epidemics..but even if this disease-aversion justifies untouchability,yet as a human,it is totally unethical

lower caste hindus were kept as bonded labourers by britz was that humanity? thousands of ppl fired in jallianwala bagh was that humanity?
what abt thousands of hindus burned alive by christian missionaries coz they refuse to convert? was that humanity? what abt thousands of hindus mercilessly killed by Tipu Shaitan? was that humanity? what abt genocide, forceful conversions and rape of hindus done by mopla muslims after khalifat movt? was that humanity? When we have this intense examples of barbarism and inhumanity why you are cherrypicking untouchability? I agree untouchability isnt a good thing but is forceful conversions and slaughtering raping women is ok? why do ppl ignore this blot on humanity islamists and christians but target hindus for untouchability ? oh lemme guess it's easiest thing to do
She should thank the Christian Judea system. She could have ended up on her husbands funeral piar.
While not contesting the claims the fact that discrimination based on caste or position was inherent in most societies and India was no exception is undeniable.
dont blame that on sanatan dharm coz dharm itself means following right path and having good morals
If jati discrimination did not exist, why Karna was denied education in Mahabharata?
Mahabharata doesn't justify the discrimination. It presents it as a problem to fight against.
According to the British, the caste system is justified as per the Hindu religion.
What do u mean Karna was denied education ? Karna was the Son of a Charioteer. Not a prince or anything. This discrimination was of society which is present all over the world at present. It has nothing to do with caste.
@@worldsoldestcivilization i agree that in theory varna system may not discriminatory. But in practice it was. At present we have a better system of democracy where all are equal before law. I think there isn't much benefits in discussing about these failed and outdated systems. It might be more productive to discuss about how to strengthen democracy and reduce discrimination by people with power in society.
@@sharaths8417 not all, constitution itself has been changed and its lost its founding principles
@@eobardparker6841 There should be changes in constitution if required. It is not perfect.
Caste or divisions named by the Work done by an individual originated from Southern India. Numerous Sangam literatures have evidences on that. However there were no hierarchical divisions between the native castes. They were all equal. As in modern times, any lawyer's son can become a doctor; or a carpenter's son can become a teacher, and so so on. There were training institutions 1000s of years ago in Southern India; the guru's in that institutions identified the skills in each individual and trained them according to their skills (E.g. if the teacher identifies a potter's son to be skilled in teaching, they'll train him to be a teacher). During the time when the vedic varna system merged into the caste culture in India, that's when the castes were made into hierarchal divisions. Some castes were considered upper and some middle and some lower there after. Introduction of varna system also wiped out the ancient university/training institutions as well. In the absence of training institutions, the only way to learn a skill is through ancestral training or training received from parents/grand-parents. Therefore people were forced to do their ancestral work. Hence now it appears like each caste does one work and they are born to do that way. British has nothing to do with the caste system in India. Hope that helps.
destruction of gurukuls and introduction of macauley education reform (deform actually) destroyed our culture to a great extent
Again a Bad Topic or I say Not fitting in Today's world.
Discuss how we can Demolish or make it minimum to Castism.
This is not relevant 🙂
That means ved are European origins isn't it . It is clearly mentioned in rig ved about caste system how cruel you people are then
Please 🥺 check it on UA-cam u will find some documentary video. In southern India women are not allowed to cover their breasts. And you guys are thinking this type of ram rajya.
In which Vedas, caste is mentioned especially when caste is a European word ?
Panditji with his Oxford English, tie and vest is a completely colonized Indian. He hypocritically criticizes the very colonizers whose language, accent, environment and attire he has adopted at the very least or perhaps even embraced into his own life. Sounds like a typical Woke to me. Same agenda Blame everyone else for us Indians perpetuating inequality amongst ourselves...how about we stay cognizant of the originators but also start looking at ourselves as the perpetrators and perpetuators of caste/class. Why only blame everyone else for our sins whilst partaking of all the benefits shown to us by the very people we blame for our problems. Not buying his bull.
True...caste and verna system is a brainchild of Euro-asian people....
Euro-asian instead of euro Christian....caste system could not be so rigid if it is a brainchild of euro Christians...pandit ji is a safety valve between sanatanis and rising dalits....
@Nidhi Roy very much true...they not even hide their evil acts but also they justify the 4 varna and hierarchy...
why ? indians do feel proud in talking in english so would we go and say english is an indian language? ofcourse not indians adopt anything that is not indian coz they are unaware abt their great culture
Good explanation..but also was Hinduism so weak back then to believe in these missionary narratives? I think its also important to research or understand if there was untouchability existed and if it existed why..
Hindu dharm not hinduism dont make it sound like a bloody cult ! .it's an eternal dharm !
also hindu dharm isnt weak it says a kshatriya should always keep his subjects before himself but if some kings like maan singh signs a deal with invader mughals then you cant blame dharm for that
Disintegration is weakness
Fools. Human rights flourish where Christianity goes
Yeah, crusades, slavery, colonization, church scandals are signs of humanity. 🤡
This is the most shallow explanation, please talk about manusmriti. Caste is nothing but a degenerated form of varna system. Varna system is graded hierarchy of humans based of notion of superiority nd purity and pollution. Ask the Dalits in india how they get treated in villages. British came in 18 th century but caste system was present since Aryan invasion.
Aryan invasion a myth
Also the same manusmriti says that everyone is born a shudra and dwij as other classes uppon getting educated so the same manusmriti is contradicting itselves implying it has been edited or currupted later on
Caste based discrimination may be a thing in some places but it is now negligible
LOL! Aryan invasion? What is your proof of any Aryan invasion? Can you pinpoint the exact location from where Aryans arrived? Are there any remnants of such Aryans in their original lands? How Dalits were getting treated before the Urbanization, I agree not so well. However, this video clearly explains the origin of the caste system in India and how this untouchability came into being.
keep on believing lies like the fool you are britishers must be happy to leave their illegitimate kids everywhere in india
dalits are treated nicely it's dalits who frame brahmins rajputs in false sc st cases
