This was really well done, mate, and I think you made a brilliant point about the fact that Hinduism can easily move away from this caste-based discrimination practice. Sanatana Dharma is built around the concept of the unity of existence and the same consciousness pervading through all life. Caste-based discrimination is antithetical to core Hindu concepts, and thus, with a coherent, sustained effort, our culture can move away from this practice.
@@harryb4364 I have a question, since you're an Indian I'm hoping you could help me come up if you're an Indian Muslim or or belong to Buddhist or different religion do you also have the caste system applied to you?
@@dhumketuthecomet6723 just saw your comment, I hope you could speak English well so the caste system applies to Muslims and India as well? And what about Christians?

If The Shudras Took Birth From The Feet Of Purusha Or Parampita(Supremesoul) Then Shudras Are Holiest Among All Bcz We Worship The Feet Of Our Deities Nd Touch Feet To Show Respect Nd Also Drink 'Charanamrita'(The Water Used To Clean The Feet Of Deities)...
raja ji info I know that all this four varnas were made on the basis of work not by birth... nd all this soul are same...but some stupids want to make wrong meaning of the Purusha Sukta ..thats why I have written the significance of The feet of purusha....Jai Sri Ram
Nice! But how did discrimination based on caste develop? Why dont we see shudra's standing uo for "varna system" tge same way an upper caste would? I have personally seen my brahman friends make calling ST's jats "neech jaati". Only an upper caste can be proud to be a hindu.
There are a lot of RICH so called "backward caste/class" ..while they obviously say they don't believe in the "caste system", but love to declare their caste on documents and paper work to gain benefits from the government!! I have seen instances where a person of poor socioeconomic status..who happens to be a brahmin has to work really hard & study well and have high marks percentage.. and still be denied job opportunity and given so someone from the "backward class" in the name of reservation! ..many a time..since the "backward castes" have reservations..they don't bother studying that hard anyway and still getting jobs with less qualifications. I'm not saying all are like this.. but I have seen these situations. The caste system should be erased along with the reservations based of this "caste system". People should be recognised based only on their hard work, merit and qualifications.
I am labeled by the government as OBC (Other Backward Caste). Politicians don't want Hindus to unite. They will lose their vote banks. Reservations are the only areas we use the caste today.. What we need is a reservation based on wealth. Not Caste.
Caste is not a big deal. Definitely you should love Hinduism sir, cuz only Hinduism has caste system which had made you an DALIT. Love Hindus cuz only they have bhramana at the top and others followed them and finnaly lowww caste dalit,...should be proud to be an Indian and especially Hindu cuz nowhere in world this happens.
yes i agree that critics discriminate hinduism based on caste system. i am dalit sc boy my beautyfull wife is from sarashwat brahmin cast i never faced any discrimination from any brahmin ever though i am dalit my marriege was arranged the family of my wife said that i am perfect for their daughter and i can ensure her security.and one more according to gita everyone one is born shudra in this kali yoga. cast system is purely based on your quality not by birth
Personally I believe arranged marriages are another cultural issue in many parts of the world, to me they seem to limit individual and personal choice, and there are fewer things more personal than choosing a partner for life... I still hope you and your wife have a happy and long life
Granted I'm not an expert, but from what I've read it seems like caste was originally meant to be more permeable, roughly equivalent to the class system in most western countries, where it's possible to move from one caste to another. It was, unsurprisingly corrupted to be used as a method of control.
Frank Martin yes sir you're partially right. I'm a Hindu from India and I don't consider it as cast system but class system as our casts( Jati) are based on our works. Like I belong Jat community which is known for warfare and farming class. However those were my ancestors. I'm a lawyer myself which means I'm no more a Jat or Kshtriya but a Bhrahmin according to my profession. Bharhmin itself is a subjective word. Bhrahmin means a person who knows the Bharmha(God) which means a Sage. However Bharhmins were also responsible for giving laws and guiding society. They were teachers in ancient societies. Thus another aspect of Bhrahmin means lawyers, teachers, doctors, scientists and researchers etc.
@@deepakdahiya9 bhai you are in between kshatriya and brahmin but far from brahmin. brahmin's main purpose is study of vedic texts, utmost devotion to Brahman(whoever deity you are devoted to), simultaneously guiding others on righteous path. I guess at some level, we all are mixtures of all 4 classes. :D
@@gdsarangal yes. We all are mixtures of every class. When clean our houses or streets we are shudras, when we work for living or do business we are vaisyas, when we protect ourselves, our families and country from threat we are Kshatriyas and when we worship and praise God or when we engage in fruitful discussions we are Brahmins.
You don't agree the caste.. Your species is Human Culture is Sanatan You follow Dharma of Santan Your nationality is Bharatiya Your Varna( as the system is not there) should be Honesty Your Jati is 'Manab or Manushya' Your Identity is "Aham Brahmasmi"
Well vedas rigveda gives definition of four varna, yajurveda mentions definition of chandal and nishadha which is proof of birth based varna system and discrimination, mahabharat has many stories about birth based varna system ( check what " sut" in sutputra karna means) , bhagwat Gita talks about paap yoni etc and says one must do work of varna he was born into no matter how bad he was at it, and never do work of other varna no matter how good he is at it, ....with this context all Gita is actually trying to implement birth based varna system and discrimination out of which caste system originated. So caste discrimination is a religious problem that needs to be addressed.
Akshat Jain yes it was jaativyavastha not caste system. Just atrocity is not indian but atyachar in complete indian. You jains are too casteist. Just like brahmins
You mean the caste system isn’t a prescriptive thing in the Puranas and that it doesn’t allegedly stem from Rama and other gods who have created beginnings of this class division?
@@StopFear nope it's not Didn't you just watch the whole video? Imagine a country as one society The govt. Is the brahman The army is the kshatriya The business companies is are termed as vaishya And we the employees, the common people are the shudras based on varns system But what if someone from shudra becomes a high official in army ir govt. He'll be a kshtriya or brahman That's how the varna system worked And the manu smriti is not practised by modern indians And the so called caste division was a curse to us by the British
@@johnnyboy9239 WHat you wrote is false. The caste division system was NOT given to you by the British. It was the nationalist Hindus who did made agreements with the British who gave control to the Brahmans because Brahmans got more power under the British. And the Brahmans reinforced the old caste system. In the process this also screwed the Muslims. The fact that it was not British who created the caste system is supported by the large number of Hindu Indians who converted to Islam during the Mughal period since Islam welcomed the people from lowest caste as more or less equal to other Muslim. What is even stranger, is that in your response to me, you write "nope its not", without specifying what you are referring to. What is not? Then you proceed to basically write text to ADVOCATE for the caste system, except you try to make it sound like it is not horrible. Did you even proofread your comment?
Great video! I'm not a Hindu but like looking into a lot of Hindu teachings and philosophy; the caste system was always something I couldn't understand but glad you've finally cleared it up and made it easier to understand.
Kane Whitehead same here I was told the westerner missionaries spun the term varna colour to mean skin colour I knew this couldn't be right when the great gurus who came to the west we4e very dark skin like 2 current hit a sadguru nithyanda The varna colour meant the degree of purity etc of one jatti profession The Brahmins can't own property or wealth but must focus on knowledge The butcher would have a more tainted varna or colour killing of animals versus say the less tainted jatti of a farmer
Kane Whitehead this video is a fake. This not truth just search the caste system and discrimination. Now a day dalits are protesting on huge scale so upoercaste are making false videos and claims t To cover their sin.
@@kamartaj3010 omg this man🤣....where is it happening in India these days??where are 100 of dalits who are being killed???for those immoral Brahmins and kshatriyas who twisted the meanings..they will receive their karma..even bhishmpitama got his karma back after 101th cycle
@@sayanhalder6752 it is a very honourable post. But there is not as much power and authority, compared to the power and authority of prime minister. We hear of the prime minister and his decisions every day in news. But we hear very little about the president and his work in the news, because there is not much to report in the news.
@MAni AC i am not sure about the PM being dalit. As per you tube channels, he is OBC. That doesnt matter. One person became successful, doesnt mean entire community became successful.
@MAni AC The poor people do not have the facilities what the rich have. The govt schools do provide fee concessions, free books, uniform, meals, in order to attract the poor children to schools. But now a new monster has come up in India which pulls majority of these kids away from school, due to which they continue to be backward still. That is the monster called misuse of social media, mobiles phones, TV, movies, alcohol, drugs. The parents are not aware enough to guide the children is such misuse. Also the caste system and religion has become a very effective, powerful tool to be used by political parties to garner votes and get political power. So caste system is going to continue for a long time.
There is no caste system in Hinduism, It's VARNA SYSTEM as per MANU SMRITI!!! Varna system depend on karma Were Caste system work like as, if father is a Bharman, than his son is also will be Bharman, Mean its pass from one generation, which is no where in Hinduism, Were varna system is like as, If father is a teacher than his varna is Bharman, but he his son choose to be soilder so his varna will change to KSHETRA from Bharman. .

Thank you for explaining the varna and jati systems so beautifully - a hindu by birth like I couldn't have put it together so well. I agree with what you said in the end - Hindus all over the world should unite and fight social injustice and work towards strengthening our dharma.
This is why Hindus will never be able to succeed much. You are still living in a state of mental slavery where you think you would not be able to something better than the next person. There is an absolute lack of self-confidence in Hindus today, the inferiority complex is at an all time high, despite the Prime Minister of India constantly reminding of what a great civilization India is and was. Your statement -- "a hindu by birth like I couldn't have put it together so well", while you meant it in a well intent, but it reflects the lack of any self-confidence in you, subconsciously. Why can't you put it together despite being born as an Hindu? If anything, you should be the one explaining this to others. What is it in specific that stops you from doing it? The lack of knowledge? Well everyone starts from 0. Lack of creativity? Well no one is born an artist, you have to hone your skills eventually. What is it that you can't overcome? You have to break free of this subconscious mental slavery sooner or later for Hindus to succeed or to claim back their spot as the greatest civilization the face of this planet has ever seen. Thanks.
Well.. I think you over-analysed a bit into what I wrote. As a hindu by birth, I might have subconscious prejudices when speaking about jati - maybe everyone who grew up hindu in India does - which is why jati is a sensitive topic, bound to offend someone when one speaks about it in public. This video is obviously made by someone who doesn't belong to any jati and therefore and has provided an objective analysis on the subject that I couldn't have, if I tried. Also, the research that has gone into making this video is enormous - Not just the Bhagavadgeeta, Ramayana and mahabharata were quoted but also Srimadbhagavata - I don't know many people who've read it - who can quote from it. The detailed chart at 14:14 covers almost all points on jati and its evolution, I cannot think of a single point to add to it. Not all hindus have such extensive knowledge on the subject. It has nothing to do with mental slavery or lack of self confidence as such.
This is very comprehensive, yet compact -,gives you all angles to the story without being overwhelming. Pics are the icing on the cake. Your teacher found the right content.
Angiras Samhita 1:48 “He, who continually partakes of a Sudra’s food for one month, becomes a Sudra in this birth and is born as a dog after death. Garuda Purana 1.115.7 "Women perish due to their beauty, penance due to fury, the way due to an undue length and pious brahmana by taking sudra’s food
@@eyyeff um yes cause if a brahmana is rich a Sudra is not It says "taking" not accepting Taking or taking away a Sudra food. And again taking a sudra food constantly give trouble to the Sudra since sudras don't have much as labors don't make much money And become a dog as punishment Again varna is not by birth so a Sudra is a labor
@@Sun-bl1um So brahmana shouldn't take a shudra's food. Let's day I accept it for arguments sake. Then what is the problem in touching him? Apastamba Samhita 5.1-2 “What would be the form of expiatory penance for a twice-born one, who, touched by a Chandala, drinks water before performing an A’chamanam? A Brahmana under the circumstance, should regain his purity by fasting for three nights and by taking Panchagavyam, while the term of the penance is two days only for a Kshatriya, its other factors remaining the same.” Atri Samhita 1.185 “…if a twice-born person being anointed with oil or clarified butter, touches a Chandala; he should, after fasting for a day and night, purify [himself] with the Panchagavya. Vishnu Smriti 23.41 Mire and water in the ruts on a high road, defiled by the touch of a dog, of a crow, or of a low caste person, as well as buildings constructed of baked bricks are purified by the winds. Kurma Purana II.34.65 “A Brahmana, while Ucchista (with particles of food in the mouth or on hand) willfully touches Candalas or fallen persons (outcastes) should observe the Prajapatya vow for purification.”
@@Sun-bl1um Of course a shudrs does not have wealth. Because scriptures don't allow him to gather it. Mahabharata 12.60.28-29 “A Sudra should never amass wealth, lest, by his wealth, he makes the members of the three superior classes obedient to him. By this he would incur sin. Manu Smriti 8.417 Let a Brahmana unhestitangly appropriate to himself whatever (his) Sudra (Slave) has earned, inasmuch as nothing can be belong to the latter, he being himself an enjoyable good of the Brahmana. Manu Smriti 10.129 No collection of wealth must be made by a Sudra, even though he be able (to do it); for a Sudra who has acquired wealth, gives pain to Brahmanas.
Birth Based Caste is a superstitious system, however Varna was the original system, in Varna there was no upper or lower, people chose the work of which they are qualified for and according to Bhagavad Gita, anyone can be a Brahman (Teacher), Shatriya (Warrior), Vaishya (Trader), Shudra (Labor) based on knowledge and skills: 🔹In Bhagavad Gita 4:13, Krishna says that he created different Varnas (Profession) on the basis of one's Karma (Activity) and Guna (Quality). 🔹Bhagavad Gita 5:18 "The truly learned, with the eyes of divine knowledge, see with equal vision a Brahmin, a cow, an elephant, a dog, and a dog-eater" 🔹Bhagavad Gita 9:29 "I am equally disposed to all living entities: there is neither friend nor foe to Me: but those who with living sentiments render divotional service unto Me, such persons are in Me and I am in them." 🔹Bhagavad Gita 18:41 "The duties of the Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras are distributed in accordance with their guṇas (quality) and not by birth. Caste is a Spanish and Portuguese word 'casta' which stands for 'Breed' or 'lineage'. During earlier times Caste use to be Varna (Profession) and based on merit and not by birth, I can give you instances from the ancient times, where a so-called modern day "lower caste" moved to "upper caste", e.g. Guru Valmiki, Kabir Das was from a shudra family but became a brahmin based on merit, etc and btw Ravana was himself a Brahmin knowledgeable person from Northern India but because of his notorious activities he got punished by Rama (believed to be an OBC if we abide by caste categorization). Lastly, you have to understand the British motive behind imposing caste: The Caucasians (Europeans) created Hutus and Tutsis in Rwanda, Africa, to divide and control the native population, and for this reason, the Rwanda Genocide occurred. The same attempts and inequalities Europeans also tried to create amongst Indians by separating Northern India and Southern India into "Aryans" VS "Dravidians" and further dividing Hinduism into 3,000 castes and 25,000 sub-castes. And also read about Herbert Hope Risley who created casteism, racism in Indian society by one's facial features and skin color, and Bishop Robert Caldwell who propagated the "Aryan Invasion" in Southern India to convert "Dravidians" into Christianity.
Well vedas rigveda gives definition of four varna, yajurveda mentions definition of chandal and nishadha which is proof of birth based varna system and discrimination, mahabharat has many stories about birth based varna system ( check what " sut" in sutputra karna means) , bhagwat Gita talks about paap yoni etc and says one must do work of varna he was born into no matter how bad he was at it, and never do work of other varna no matter how good he is at it, ....with this context all Gita is actually trying to implement birth based varna system and discrimination out of which caste system originated.

I know I'm posting this often but everyone needs to hear this. Some of my Christian and atheist friends did gharwapasi and came back to Hinduism. To be precise it was 7 of them. At first they had their reservation about this but I told them to practice Yogā for 1 month. After 32 days of Yogā they were feeling very happy and wanted to know more about it and Vedanta philosophy. One of them told me that she liked Swami Vivekananda's biography very much. I plan to gift a copy of it to each one of them on their birthdays. Some of them told me that they have shared this knowledge with other atheists and Christian, ex Christian friends of theirs and some of their friends r taking interest in learning Sanskrit now.

Thank you brother. As far as I know, I'm jat. The oldest distinct paternal ancestor of mine was in 1160 AD or so, One of the sons of a king from charkhi dadri in India . Jats by jati are mostly farmers and infantry people, though a few arose to royalty Eg Raja Surajmal. There is a concept of vansh(a) meaning the descendants of a long line of sons. Varna is as you have expressed. But add to it. Krishna calls himself shudra (and subsequently implying vishnu and his other avatars belonging to that category too) with the task of cleaning up the society when it becomes too dirty, restoring the order ie 'dharma sthapna'. Gotra relates to you linking your unbroken male lineage to one of the oldest original 8 sage. And we are 'chandra' Kul. There are meanings to words that over time lose their core sense. It is up to us the present generation to reclaim what has been lost.
another great video. i've one doubt i.e about manu smiriti though i know smiritis can be altered but still i find it hard that manu smiriti is not being properly understood. one way to check this, is the document has to go through finding out contradictions. a hindu document has to go through series of checks to get validated. the one instance in manu smiriti where it talks about social education to everyone regardless of their background but after 10 chapter it says so many distorted things about shudras. arya samaj has done a great job in helping us clear this doubt as they've found that out of 1126 quotes only 856 quotes matches with the various sources of manu smiriti. rest are just manipulations since the one used now was published out of british press in 1836. hope u can help me with this.
There are a number of people who maintain that some of the Dharmashastras have interpolations and added verses. Its possible. But the evidence doesn't seem to be conclusive, so I would prefer to simply be straight and wherever there are ideas which do not support equality and justice we need to abandon or reinterpret them.
Dharma Speaks I would like to suggest you the book "The True History and Religion Of India: A Concise Encyclopedia of Authentic Hinduism". I think it has sufficient conclusive proofs that British did tamper with many Vedic scriptures.
No matter how you want to explain or justify it - The continuation of caste system will ultimately lead to the irreversible implosion of India if not completely destroyed today. Period
Caste was imposed on India by British after revolt of 1857 . A person called Lord Riseley was sent to India to do this . He gave caste and arranged and categorised Caste heiarchies in India . This is not taught in schools . There is a book called Breaking India , should read that book . I do not believe in caste . Caste problem is present in all religions and countries , we have to remove it from our country .

Veda’s say that God Created Brahmins from his head, Kshatriyas from his chest, Vaishyas from his stomach and Shudras from his Foot. Brahmins were given Sattva Guna: Knowledge, purity, and happiness (14:6). It also says that Sudras the lowest of four classes, was born in an “inferior womb” (Papayonaya, 9:32) because of the combination of their Tamas Guna (inherent traits such as ignorance, delusion, heedlessness, indolence and sleep, 14:8), and some sinful acts they must have committed in his previous lives, such as hitting a Brahmin or stealing his cow. If a Sudra wished to be reborn in a higher class, he should keep performing his Dharma (designated duty of serving the upper classes) helplessly (18:60) and faithfully in this life (18:45). Ostracism by society was considered worse than death (2:34).

@my work unfortunately it had done but it is not in religion it had made politically so that some fuckers rulers can rule the world and not the others it is very worst thing made politically only
@my work but bro, Krishna clearly says that varna depends on man's quality, not by birth and if you talk about our scriptures then you should also know that we have been under foreign rulers about thousands of years. Can you imagine how much exploitation the did over our Scripture and culture. Time to rise brother. Time to remove the darkness of explotation and bring the light of clarity. Manusmriti challenges the Vedas and Bhagavat Gita. If we are starting to follow it then the Mughals and British will be succeeded. Time to follow the real culture and you must also know that ours is a living breathing culture. There will be many engliten being to carry us to the light. So, don't make a religion of the book, follow the truth. Hope you will understand. Namaskarm.

Whatever is right or wrong practice....is it not important to discard these archaic practices for the very love of our own fellow human beings. No caste please
Birth Based Caste is a superstitious system, however Varna was the original system, in Varna there was no upper or lower, people chose the work of which they are qualified for and according to Bhagavad Gita, anyone can be a Brahman (Teacher), Shatriya (Warrior), Vaishya (Trader), Shudra (Labor) based on knowledge and skills: 🔹In Bhagavad Gita 4:13, Krishna says that he created different Varnas (Profession) on the basis of one's Karma (Activity) and Guna (Quality). 🔹Bhagavad Gita 5:18 "The truly learned, with the eyes of divine knowledge, see with equal vision a Brahmin, a cow, an elephant, a dog, and a dog-eater" 🔹Bhagavad Gita 9:29 "I am equally disposed to all living entities: there is neither friend nor foe to Me: but those who with living sentiments render divotional service unto Me, such persons are in Me and I am in them." 🔹Bhagavad Gita 18:41 "The duties of the Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras are distributed in accordance with their guṇas (quality) and not by birth. Caste is a Spanish and Portuguese word 'casta' which stands for 'Breed' or 'lineage'. During earlier times Caste use to be Varna (Profession) and based on merit and not by birth, I can give you instances from the ancient times, where a so-called modern day "lower caste" moved to "upper caste", e.g. Guru Valmiki, Kabir Das was from a shudra family but became a brahmin based on merit, etc and btw Ravana was himself a Brahmin knowledgeable person from Northern India but because of his notorious activities he got punished by Rama (believed to be an OBC if we abide by caste categorization). Lastly, you have to understand the British motive behind imposing caste: The Caucasians (Europeans) created Hutus and Tutsis in Rwanda, Africa, to divide and control the native population, and for this reason, the Rwanda Genocide occurred. The same attempts and inequalities Europeans also tried to create amongst Indians by separating Northern India and Southern India into "Aryans" VS "Dravidians" and further dividing Hinduism into 3,000 castes and 25,000 sub-castes. And also read about Herbert Hope Risley who created casteism, racism in Indian society by one's facial features and skin color, and Bishop Robert Caldwell who propagated the "Aryan Invasion" in Southern India to convert "Dravidians" into Christianity.
One of the best videos ever made and viewed by me. Thanks for trying to understanding the issue and presenting it as transperently as possible. Hope people also take a correct perspective of this complex subject.
Hi, I was wondering if you read the book "Western Foundations of the Caste System" by Martin Farek, Dustin Jalki, Sufiya Pathan, and Prakash Shah? They're basically arguing that modern descriptions of caste in India are based on how the British perceived caste, and that what goes on the ground level based on ethnographic studies is a different story.
bp7891 I haven’t read the book. There is no doubt that the British had a significant role in the way caste is viewed. But it would be a mistake to see the caste issue is entirely based on this
Oh definitely didn't mean to suggest it was all the fault of the British, while Indians are totally innocent. What I mean to say that when Hindus are confronted with questions about casteism, the usual reply is to say that the original system was good and well intentioned and it later got corrupted throughout the years. I think instead of saying how this hypothetical theoretical system should have been like, a better solution would be to look into anthropological studies and fieldwork on how jati and interactions between different jatis occurred, both historically in the past and in modern times in rural parts of India untouched by westernization, and figure out what was good, what was bad, and what was neutral about how the different jatis worked and interacted with each other on the ground level. The book I mentioned up in my original comment doesn't focus too much on jatis in different parts of India, but it talks about how modern descriptions of caste are based on the Western Christian experience of caste and Indian culture, and how modern scholarship on India is still based on how Europeans thought societies should work, which doesn't work in an Indian context. The main point is that it's important to start off on the right foundation on how things actually happen on the ground level and work from there, otherwise you end up unintentionally causing more unrest and problems in Indian society.
I would really like you to understand why people are more defensive and clinging even harder to caste system now than ever before.There is so much of Christian and Muslim conversions that happen targeting certain castes.Why?Sorry to break this information caste system will and should never go away.What should happen is people from different castes/jatis should treat each other equally while celebrating the differences
Yes you’re right it’s was the Englisch wo brought this Typ of Caste System before it’s three king and rest in middle and the Native people lived the way they did.
Excellent video. One point to note is that Manu Smriti has been manipulated and contaminated by British Raj In accordance with their divide and rule policy. They just hardened the already growing discrimination fueled by the hypocrisy of elite classes. Please include this point as well as it is very important.
Actually why dont you do a video on how British colonialists established a rigid ''caste'' system to further divide all Hindus and weaken Hindu society?
@Rich 91 The perennial concept of people, language, agriculture and cultural ideas coming to India from outside and through the Northwest corridor doesn't produce much evidence. Because out of mt dna haplogroups 70-75% shows South Asian or Indigenous/ local origin. And among the rest 20-25% only 10% ( J2 haplogroup) shows proof of the external contribution to the haplogroups. The rest of the debatable portions ie 15-20% with the haplogroups L, R1 and R2 shows closer relations with the nearby or neighboring races ( ie Persians and Mongolians). Even if some sort of racial mixing happened it happened no sooner than at least 40 thousand years ago. By Mondal et all 2017.

I'd like to enlighten all those stupid Abrahamic extremists who mock Sanatana dharma based on this SOCIAL ISSUE (not religious). The Varnasrma system was never intended to be based on birth nor it was static. The whole idea of the varnas comes from gunas or the qualities of an individual. For example, a person who had only a good physical strength and who did manual labor was considered as a shudra by his profession, a business merchant was considered as a vaishya, a person with formal education and who had skills in the arts of warfare as a Kshatriya and a person who mainly worked based on intellect or the mind was a brahmana. This was how people lived before the kali yuga and in the Vedic era. People could move freely move between castes. Example; 1) The great Vishvamitra of the saptarishis(the seven sages) was a Kshatriya(by birth), but after he was enlightened, he became a brahmana. 2) Sage Valmiki (who has written the great epic Ramayana) was initially a hunter and of what common people now say 'lower castes' but he became a Brahmana later and wrote one of the greatest epics and is revered by all the Hindus. ................(and many more people too) The Manusmriti was a document made by the man, and that's why they show these tough rules, much like your Quran and The Bible which promote much violence. All this discrimination, untouchability, and superstitions are due to human ignorance and are not flaws of any of the Hindu texts. Read the Gita, where the god himself says that he created the four-fold varna system based on the qualities of an individual. All this secularism has brought people like you who bribe the poor to convert them into your religions and create even more negativity and violence in our country- which never existed before- we were ALWAYS a peaceful community living to the right of the great Indus river, to which you fellas working for state-funded religious organizations and kings destroyed all the culture and wisdom of our people. (just think- in the initial years more than 80% of world deaths happened because of wars within your Abrahamic religions, but less than 1% in the Vedic ones like Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, etc(of a common origin). May I remind you of the brutal people of your Abrahamic religions(mainly Islam and Christianity) coming to our neighborhoods- destroying entire cities, civilizations, wisdom, and all the scriptures? May I remind you of your Jihad, polygamy, denial of basic rights to women, of your witch trials, massacres, forced conversions, and a whole lot of BLOODSHED. You are the real racist people who have traded Africans and treating them like you treat animals for hundreds of years. You were the cause of the destruction of entire communities of different ethnicities- The Red Indians, indigenous tribes of Africa, and many more. Anyway, I'm not too concerned about you and your extremist views and I want to lead a peaceful life and attain moksha because I know that this is all the play of the Almighty brahman who exists in all gods- in ours, in yours. But, I just want to add a point that a person who doesn't accept any diversity and tortures people of different beliefs sending them to hell forever, etc should rather be treated as a merciless monster, not as a god. Hope you have learned this truth before you learned it from me(a 15yr old kid). And from next time please don't utter any wrong about things without knowing anything about them. This is just your brainwashed extremist Abrahamic mindset which has destroyed world peace from time- immemorial. Sarvejana Sukhinobhavanthu (May all beings live in peace and harmony).
Hindu texts read," I was born a Brahman, but I lived my life as an untouchable. Then-- I returned to Brahman." I understand this because I was born chandragupta maurya married general seleucus, but I was orphaned age 2, stolen, renamed an alias and kidnappers didn't let me sit at dinner table with them. Their son asked why I couldn't sit at table with them. Woman replied that I was " different than them". Filing lawsuit I won ann joyce versus u.s government (bush years) and organized crime, courts returned my stolen identity h.r.h Ana-Maria Romanov-Hanover Von habsburg. I continued living oppressed, endangered, but I learned how it felt to be oppressed, and I learned to love the law, law enforcement, and good governance. Life balances. Continue doing good.
My husband and I are from so called different castes of hindu religion. My husband is from so called higher caste and I am from so called backward caste. It's been 13 years of my marriage and not even once I ever felt that I married to person from different caste. I feel very happy to say that we are a kind of couple who feel proud in being hindu .
Angiras Samhita 1:48 “He, who continually partakes of a Sudra’s food for one month, becomes a Sudra in this birth and is born as a dog after death. Garuda Purana 1.115.7 "Women perish due to their beauty, penance due to fury, the way due to an undue length and pious brahmana by taking sudra’s food
@@eyyeff Ahmed, first get rid of slavery of 6th century barbaric Arab tribes lock forcibly put on your unfortunate grand,grand.. through forcible circumcision for forcible conversion,thereafter, try to understand Sanatan with free human mind
@@ZChandra Firstly, there is no forcible conversion in Islam. If there cannot be forcible conversion, how can there be forcible circumcision? Make some sense dude. U wanna compare casteism in sanatan with slavery in Islam? Let's do it. Tell me after this comparison if given a choice, u would like to be a shudra in Hinduism or a slave in Islam. Let's see how objective and open minded u r. 1. Slavery- non existent today vs Casteism - still practiced widely 2. Slavery - on account of prisoners of wars (thus in one's control) vs Casteism - by birth based on which family one is born in (no control whatsoever) 3. Not a single verse in Quran or Hadith enjoins taking one as slave vs Hundreds of shlokas clearly segregating, enjoining & promoting casteism 4. Multiple verses of Qur'an and Hadith promoting freeing slaves vs No provision to change caste in the same life in any sloka across all books of hinduism 5. Let's look at how they are to be fed, scripture vs scripture: It was narrated that Abu Dharr (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “They are your brothers whom Allaah has put under your authority, so if Allaah has put a person’s brother under his authority, let him feed him from what he eats and clothe him from what he wears, and let him not overburden him with work, and if he does overburden him with work, then let him help him.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (6050) On the other hand, let alone feed with a shudra equally, a Brahmana can't even give remnants of his food to a shudra. Manu Smriti 4.80-81; Vasistha 18.14 Let him not give to a Sudra advice, nor the remnants (of his meal), nor food offered to the gods; nor let him explain the sacred law (to such a man), nor impose (upon him) a penance. For he who explains the sacred law (to a Sudra) or dictates to him a penance, will sink together with that (man) into the hell (called) Asamvrita. 6. If a slave wants to free himself, his master needs to make it easy for him, even contributing for his freedom: “And such of your slaves as seek a writing (of emancipation), give them such writing, if you find that there is good and honesty in them. And give them something (yourselves) out of the wealth of Allaah which He has bestowed upon you” Quran 24:33 Can a shudra become a Brahmana by any means in the same life? No. Not a single shloka allows this. Infact, on the contrary, a shudra can't even amass wealth. Proof below: Mahabharata 12.60.36 “The Sudra should never abandon his master, whatever the nature or degree of the distress into which the latter may fall. If the master loses his wealth, he should with excessive zeal be supported by the Sudra servant. A Sudra cannot have any wealth that is his own. Whatever he possesses belongs lawfully to his master.” 7. A slave has rights & dignity in Islam, irrespective of his religion. I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “Whoever slaps his slave or beats him, his expiation is to manumit him.” Narrated by Muslim (1657) Contrary to this, killing (mind you, slapping led to emancipation in Isla & it is killing here) a shudra is like killing an animal. Agni Purana 169.25-32 “…A man having killed a cat, a mongoose, a frog, a dog, a Godha, an owl, and a crow, should practice the penance he ought to have done, if he had killed a Shudra…” I could go on and on, but I think for the rational ones I have made my point and for those with bias, any number of evidences wouldn't matter.
Sudra food can not eat because they hardly earn food for him and their food ,if brahman eat it ,it will be injustice towards sudra ,that's what scripture mean
@@nitinbull8720 Convenient interpretation. Where is that in the text? If Brahmins were so concerned about shudras, why do they give him their left over food? Mahabharata 13.143.29 “As regards food, he should eat that which remains after the needs of all persons have been satisfied.”

There is a saying in Rigveda , the first book ever known to mankind which depicts the Hinduism philosophy in a Nutshell " Ano bhadrah Krathavo Yanthu Vishwathah" Let the knowledge come to us from every direction.
Thank you for explaining this. As someone who has grown up with little exposure to either Hinduism or the culture in India this explanation made the situation much easier to understand as well as sate my curiosity on the subject.

So glad someone is taking the pain of explaining these things to the world. Many thanks! Dharma speaks can you also shed some light on Wendy Doniger's - The Hindus an alternative history and the way Devdutt Patnayak views and talks about Hinduism. Today a lot of people follow these writers. I think we need some clarification there too. Basically the world needs to know the truth about Hinduism! This is only the second video of yours that I have seen so far. So not sure if you have created any on the above lines. Any ways great work!
Such a great video! It's such a good thing I found this video. Now I can just refer this video to explain the difference between Varna & Caste. "Jai Shri KRISHNA...." Thanks for blessing us all with your kindness.....

@Dharma Speaks : I would also like to point out that the birth based _continuation_ of one's _varna_ was perpetuated by _jati_ or social groups. And it is true for all _varna_ , even more so in the _kshatriya_ , _vaishya_ & _shudra_ than the _brahmana_ mainly because the former three had power/physical assets/trade secrets passed from generation to generation. The narrative that the _brahmana_ chiefly tried to keep _varna_ it in their families is untrue. All other _varna_ perpetuated the same.
excellent explanation and right into the Core of it... i loved this explanation so much that i have already shared it with my friends and family members... thanks a lot for making such video.
untouchability prevailed only for a limited time period ..none can deny that..but its not a part of Hinduism..British cunningly made very good use of it during that time period ..me being an orthodox Brahmin don't hesitate to share that I was not allowed into the pooja room with unclean clothes..none can call this untouchability..

Patrick Olivelle, a professor of Sanskrit and Indian Religions and credited with modern translations of Vedic literature, Dharma-sutras and Dharma-sastras, states that ancient and medieval Indian texts do not support the ritual pollution, purity-impurity premise implicit in the Dumont theory. According to Olivelle, purity-impurity is discussed in the Dharma-sastra texts, but only in the context of the individual's moral, ritual and biological pollution (eating certain kinds of food such as meat, going to bathroom). Olivelle writes in his review of post-Vedic Sutra and Shastra texts, "we see no instance when a term of pure/impure is used with reference to a group of individuals or a varnaor caste". The only mention of impurity in the Shastra texts from the 1st millennium is about people who commit grievous sins and thereby fall out of their varna. These, writes Olivelle, are called "fallen people" and considered impure in the medieval Indian texts. The texts declare that these sinful, fallen people be ostracised.[86] Olivelle adds that the overwhelming focus in matters relating to purity/impurity in the Dharma-sastra texts concerns "individuals irrespective of their varna affiliation" and all four varnas could attain purity or impurity by the content of their character, ethical intent, actions, innocence or ignorance (acts by children), stipulations, and ritualistic behaviors.[87]
Caste system is necessary for every society not just India. If you dont understand the caste system you fundementally dont understand Sanatana Dharma. Equality is an illusion.
When Adam Smith the Economist talks about Division or Specialization of Labour then you guys stand up in ovation, but when Manu in his book 'Manu Smriti' talks about the same thing a little differently, then you guys feel offended.Why these double standards ?
Excellent explanation where a common man in India as well in other parts of the world really understand the great approach to life living fully with an ingrained value "sarve jano dukhini bhavati".

You've taken a difficult topic head-on and done a beautiful job of explaining and putting it in a chronological context as well. All us Hindus need to really understand what the system is and be able to explain when asked. Social mores change and are not set in stone. The Varna/jati system have been hijacked for many reasons ; social, economic, political and also as a proselytising tool by Christian and Muslim religions. Thank your for doing this video.
Caste had been abolished by Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu by giving His arms to the Chandal(dalit) to Brahmins. By chanting Hare Krishna, the caste difference dissolves. Actually, those differences are already in the system and is not heritable. But the society pushed their works to their successors making them heritable. However, Sri Chaitanya abolished it giving the topmost position to all who chants the name of God and his or her Varna is not at all relevant as the society had transformed it into groups than the qualities.
I'm Ganesamoorthy Subramaniam (SG) from Singapore; I'm a Thamizh and I must say at the outset that the Socially Solidified Stratification of the Caste System had NEVER Been and FOREVER will have no place in the Ethos and Lives of all civilised societies in the world. This decadent and unacceptable caste system was introduced into a casteless Thamizh society by the supposed Indo-Aryan (Brahmin) migrants from the Steppe Region in the 1st 3 Centuries BCE. These beef and horse-consuming Brahmins used much violence and impalement of the poor and innocent Thamizhs who were the great pioneers, innovators and insightful thinkers who were governing the whole of India; lots of great sages, including Buddha, Maha Veerer, Markhali Kosaalar vehemently opposed this system that was mindlessly perpetuated within the Indian society then by the Brahmin migrants. Why did they do this? They just wanted to enslave Thamizh society since it was the most advanced educated society then, and the way envisioned by the in-coming unmarried male Brahmins to enslave the Thamizhs via the caste system, denying them of all educational opportunities and ridding them of all job opportunities and ensuring that all Thamizhs are forced into the lowest caste categories of Suddras and Dahlits. They also relegated them to doing menial jobs as labourers and exorcised them from all sacred positions in Temples that were then built only by Thamizh sculptors. The worst case scenario was reallised by them when the promoted to the exalted position of the highest category of Brahmins. They had for the last one millennia usurped by forceful means all positions and reduced Thamizhs to being non-entities in a land that was having the highest GDP in the world through their own communitarian endeavours. To make the situation even more unpallatable they elevated Sanskrit to an exalted position of Sacred Language Status and reduced Thamizh to a dosha (Evil) Language Status and ensured that prayers in Thamizh Temples are conducted only in Sanskrit, thereby ensuring their life-long Employment ad infinitum in our Temples that have stood for several millennia as exemplars of great architecture, sculptural renaissance and reflecting the inventive and innovative mind of Thamizhars' pioneering spirit. I hereby rest my case. Kindest regards. SG (Ganesamoorthy Subramaniam) Mobile: +65 83211171 (WhatsApp) Singaporean Educator.
I had the thought of American slavery in my mind throughout this, as I am descended from black slaves, and I grew up Fundamentalist Christian. I was thinking about this sociologically, both from a structural functionalist perspective (what role does it serve society) and a conflict perspective (which says society is biased towards the powers that be). I also thought of Marx's view of the "opiate of the masses", which means that religion is used as a power play. (Marx was mainly critiquing Christianity, though, not Hinduism.) On the one hand, religion has often inspired those who challenge the powers that be: examples include Gandhi and Dr. King (the latter, though a Christian, was inspired by the former). So, I remain Christian, though I am wary, having seen the worse side of the religion. I know that other religions (including Judaism) are different from Christianity; nevertheless, I am troubled by how common it is to use religion as a tool of oppression,,and by the fact it happens in so many religions. Nevertheless, I am inspired by those of all religions and no religion who stand for justice.
The best video on 'caste'+'caste system' I have seen. As the narrator has clarified 'caste' exists in scripture but 'caste system' is a socio-political invention promoted by vested interests.
It was formed in politics, they have no way of tracking linage for a billion people, so people follow their surnames associated with castes for family history.
H! I'm a grade 7 student in an international school in Singapore. I'm doing research on Hinduism. I have used your excellent video to do my research, however, my teacher had asked me to write about the reliability of your channel. Is your channel accredited by any official Hindu Religious Association? Or can you let me know who wrote the content for this video? What are his or her credentials? Your response will help me to get a good grade. :-) Thanks
Well to that you might want to refer to "Vedas". Even "Hinduism" wasn't a term itself until after Britishers came and destroyed our education system destroying so many things. As it's clear that the teachings in India over ancient times was Oral and not written. One might ask the creditability of even the written evidence but these teachings are deep within our culture. Sure if your read various parts from "Veda" you can get the evidence that way but the beliefs and the devotion can't be explained through words themselves. I know this whole explaination sounds very confusing and I am sorry but it's the best I can explain as I also am trying to find clues how things are misinterpreted by other people to look down on our culture.....
“Critics are always quick to throw out the ancient wisdom of the tradition [caste]” Are you serious? Any normal person who does not see the discriminatory and oppressive “caste tradition” as something acceptable should indeed ignore any of the alleged “wisdom” that it has associated with it. It is exactly like saying “because we don’t want to spend money on sick people we should just let them die because it will save us money” or that “slavery has its positive wisdom. Look at all the work the slaves did! They work so hard!” Mentioning the so called wisdom of the caste tradition would only have been acceptable if the caste system was not inherently wrong and oppressive. Then you could say that there are positives and negatives in either practicing caste discrimination. But when someone juxtaposes “ancient wisdom” to something that so obviously wrong it only shows that that person is either a.)Believes in the caste system; or b.) is afraid to openly criticize it.
@@DharmaSpeaks No. Putting an entire group of people by birth connection into a category of people whose entire life is allegedly predetermined to be cleaning trash and poop? That's how so many people who were formerly Hindu were converted (and for a good reason) to either Islam or to Christianity. Because to everybody in the entire world this caste practice is abominable.
@@DharmaSpeaks No. Of course not. To suggest that some practice which is abhorrent and illegal today was "appropriate" or "acceptable" because it was "long ago" is not a valid justification. It just does not make any rational sense to justify something simply because it was "accepted" at the time. I put those words above in parentheses because I do not believe this was real acceptance. By this logic absolutely anything that has occurred in the past, as long as someone claim it was "for the greater good of all" could be justified and any criticisms dismissed. This first of all includes things like mass murder and rape in wars, slavery, pedophilia. Those are the worst things that at some point in some places were "accepted". But there are of course much less shocking practices which we figured out today are wrong either according to science or enlightenment of some kind. Here is an example that is closest to the heart of India. You have Persian Muslims invading and taking control of governance of the territory currently known as India. Someone could easily argue that everyone in that time in history was trying to conquer everybody else and it was acceptable because everyone did it. And of course the British colonization of India is a more recent example. One could argue that everybody was establishing colonies in that time period of hundreds of years and that "it was acceptable". Acceptable to whom? To the British. To other Europeans, and to different political and social groups of Indians it was acceptable which is why they did their part to make colonization happen. So on what objective moral basis could you criticize anybody if a practice was acceptable at the time? Simply saying "we know it is wrong because it hurt Indian people and stifled India's development" does not work because someone could come up with a scenario and say that it was for "good of all". Basically, what you allege is not excusable by a time in history or some kind of claim of "benefit for all". Its just that people like yourself refuse to admit that there indeed were horrible practices at the core of India's culture and the Hindu religion. It does not invalidate the whole belief system, but it has to be acknowledged that what was wrong was indeed wrong.
Secondly dettol hand wash advertisement says "Don't use soap as it is touched by someone & germs will spread" does it mean dettol hand wash does injustice? Do you call it untouchability? In fact children come in those advertisements Doctors ask you to remove your footwear & not to touch patients in ICU does it mean doctors are degrading you? And are they practicing untouchability? Same way if someone follows a lifestyle is it wrong?
Manu Smrithi is interpreted incorrectly. An ascetic who has chosen a sanyasii lifestyle must renounce the worldly materialistic affairs. Does it mean saints are being degraded? A person without love (bhakthi) towards God is avoided with non qualitative work because attainung brahmam is the ultimate objective of any being ThiruppAnAzhwar was carried on head by brahmin priest inside the temple for his utmost devotion to god This is just one such example where God sees no difference while we people see difference and it's our mistake & not god's mistake.

This was really well done, mate, and I think you made a brilliant point about the fact that Hinduism can easily move away from this caste-based discrimination practice. Sanatana Dharma is built around the concept of the unity of existence and the same consciousness pervading through all life. Caste-based discrimination is antithetical to core Hindu concepts, and thus, with a coherent, sustained effort, our culture can move away from this practice.

Nice! But how did discrimination based on caste develop?
Why dont we see shudra's standing uo for "varna system" tge same way an upper caste would?
I have personally seen my brahman friends make calling ST's jats "neech jaati".
Only an upper caste can be proud to be a hindu.
I'm Dalit (Lowest Caste), I love all my Hindu brothers !
I don't identify myself with Caste, Hope it dies away.
There are a lot of RICH so called "backward caste/class" ..while they obviously say they don't believe in the "caste system", but love to declare their caste on documents and paper work to gain benefits from the government!! I have seen instances where a person of poor socioeconomic status..who happens to be a brahmin has to work really hard & study well and have high marks percentage.. and still be denied job opportunity and given so someone from the "backward class" in the name of reservation! ..many a time..since the "backward castes" have reservations..they don't bother studying that hard anyway and still getting jobs with less qualifications. I'm not saying all are like this.. but I have seen these situations. The caste system should be erased along with the reservations based of this "caste system". People should be recognised based only on their hard work, merit and qualifications.
Hindu ...वर्ण व्यवस्था कर्म से थी । जन्म से नही
I am labeled by the government as OBC (Other Backward Caste). Politicians don't want Hindus to unite. They will lose their vote banks. Reservations are the only areas we use the caste today.. What we need is a reservation based on wealth. Not Caste.
Yes...
Caste is not a big deal. Definitely you should love Hinduism sir, cuz only Hinduism has caste system which had made you an DALIT. Love Hindus cuz only they have bhramana at the top and others followed them and finnaly lowww caste dalit,...should be proud to be an Indian and especially Hindu cuz nowhere in world this happens.
yes i agree that critics discriminate hinduism based on caste system. i am dalit sc boy my beautyfull wife is from sarashwat brahmin cast i never faced any discrimination from any brahmin ever though i am dalit my marriege was arranged the family of my wife said that i am perfect for their daughter and i can ensure her security.and one more according to gita everyone one is born shudra in this kali yoga. cast system is purely based on your quality not by birth
Personally I believe arranged marriages are another cultural issue in many parts of the world, to me they seem to limit individual and personal choice, and there are fewer things more personal than choosing a partner for life...
I still hope you and your wife have a happy and long life
Everyone is not fortunet as U

Don’t lie ...
Granted I'm not an expert, but from what I've read it seems like caste was originally meant to be more permeable, roughly equivalent to the class system in most western countries, where it's possible to move from one caste to another. It was, unsurprisingly corrupted to be used as a method of control.
Frank Martin yes sir you're partially right. I'm a Hindu from India and I don't consider it as cast system but class system as our casts( Jati) are based on our works. Like I belong Jat community which is known for warfare and farming class. However those were my ancestors. I'm a lawyer myself which means I'm no more a Jat or Kshtriya but a Bhrahmin according to my profession.
Bharhmin itself is a subjective word. Bhrahmin means a person who knows the Bharmha(God) which means a Sage. However Bharhmins were also responsible for giving laws and guiding society. They were teachers in ancient societies. Thus another aspect of Bhrahmin means lawyers, teachers, doctors, scientists and researchers etc.
@@deepakdahiya9 bhai you are in between kshatriya and brahmin but far from brahmin. brahmin's main purpose is study of vedic texts, utmost devotion to Brahman(whoever deity you are devoted to), simultaneously guiding others on righteous path.
I guess at some level, we all are mixtures of all 4 classes. :D
@@gdsarangal yes. We all are mixtures of every class. When clean our houses or streets we are shudras, when we work for living or do business we are vaisyas, when we protect ourselves, our families and country from threat we are Kshatriyas and when we worship and praise God or when we engage in fruitful discussions we are Brahmins.

Well vedas rigveda gives definition of four varna, yajurveda mentions definition of chandal and nishadha which is proof of birth based varna system and discrimination, mahabharat has many stories about birth based varna system ( check what " sut" in sutputra karna means) , bhagwat Gita talks about paap yoni etc and says one must do work of varna he was born into no matter how bad he was at it, and never do work of other varna no matter how good he is at it, ....with this context all Gita is actually trying to implement birth based varna system and discrimination out of which caste system originated. So caste discrimination is a religious problem that needs to be addressed.

And the so called caste division was a curse to us by the British
@@johnnyboy9239 WHat you wrote is false. The caste division system was NOT given to you by the British. It was the nationalist Hindus who did made agreements with the British who gave control to the Brahmans because Brahmans got more power under the British. And the Brahmans reinforced the old caste system. In the process this also screwed the Muslims.
The fact that it was not British who created the caste system is supported by the large number of Hindu Indians who converted to Islam during the Mughal period since Islam welcomed the people from lowest caste as more or less equal to other Muslim.
What is even stranger, is that in your response to me, you write "nope its not", without specifying what you are referring to. What is not? Then you proceed to basically write text to ADVOCATE for the caste system, except you try to make it sound like it is not horrible.
Did you even proofread your comment?
Great video! I'm not a Hindu but like looking into a lot of Hindu teachings and philosophy; the caste system was always something I couldn't understand but glad you've finally cleared it up and made it easier to understand.

I was told the westerner missionaries spun the term varna colour to mean skin colour
I knew this couldn't be right when the great gurus who came to the west we4e very dark skin like 2 current hit a
sadguru
nithyanda
The varna colour meant the degree of purity etc of one jatti profession
The Brahmins can't own property or wealth but must focus on knowledge
The butcher would have a more tainted varna or colour killing of animals versus say the less tainted jatti of a farmer

But now a new monster has come up in India which pulls majority of these kids away from school, due to which they continue to be backward still. That is the monster called misuse of social media, mobiles phones, TV, movies, alcohol, drugs. The parents are not aware enough to guide the children is such misuse. Also the caste system and religion has become a very effective, powerful tool to be used by political parties to garner votes and get political power. So caste system is going to continue for a long time.
There is no caste system in Hinduism,
It's VARNA SYSTEM as per MANU SMRITI!!!

Absolutely fantastic .... Only if we all hindus start following whats said in Gita India will flourish as a Nation like no other!
There won`t be any hindu by then nor any India as country, there will be only one Nation and a world united all doing their respective duty based on the qualities they executed and on the path of dharma, together moving towards the same destination which is back home, back to Godhead ;)

And this one another ultimate comment
S H im buddhist and lowercaste too ...
Only if hindus start thinking of themselves as humans and everybody else as well. No need of any books.
Thank you for explaining the varna and jati systems so beautifully - a hindu by birth like I couldn't have put it together so well. I agree with what you said in the end - Hindus all over the world should unite and fight social injustice and work towards strengthening our dharma.
This is why Hindus will never be able to succeed much. You are still living in a state of mental slavery where you think you would not be able to something better than the next person. There is an absolute lack of self-confidence in Hindus today, the inferiority complex is at an all time high, despite the Prime Minister of India constantly reminding of what a great civilization India is and was. Your statement -- "a hindu by birth like I couldn't have put it together so well", while you meant it in a well intent, but it reflects the lack of any self-confidence in you, subconsciously. Why can't you put it together despite being born as an Hindu? If anything, you should be the one explaining this to others. What is it in specific that stops you from doing it? The lack of knowledge? Well everyone starts from 0. Lack of creativity? Well no one is born an artist, you have to hone your skills eventually. What is it that you can't overcome?
You have to break free of this subconscious mental slavery sooner or later for Hindus to succeed or to claim back their spot as the greatest civilization the face of this planet has ever seen.
Thanks.
Well.. I think you over-analysed a bit into what I wrote. As a hindu by birth, I might have subconscious prejudices when speaking about jati - maybe everyone who grew up hindu in India does - which is why jati is a sensitive topic, bound to offend someone when one speaks about it in public. This video is obviously made by someone who doesn't belong to any jati and therefore and has provided an objective analysis on the subject that I couldn't have, if I tried. Also, the research that has gone into making this video is enormous - Not just the Bhagavadgeeta, Ramayana and mahabharata were quoted but also Srimadbhagavata - I don't know many people who've read it - who can quote from it. The detailed chart at 14:14 covers almost all points on jati and its evolution, I cannot think of a single point to add to it. Not all hindus have such extensive knowledge on the subject. It has nothing to do with mental slavery or lack of self confidence as such.

Angiras Samhita 1:48
“He, who continually partakes of a Sudra’s food for one month, becomes a Sudra in this birth and is born as a dog after death.
Garuda Purana 1.115.7
"Women perish due to their beauty, penance due to fury, the way due to an undue length and pious brahmana by taking sudra’s food
@@eyyeff um yes cause if a brahmana is rich a Sudra is not
It says "taking" not accepting
Taking or taking away a Sudra food.
And again taking a sudra food constantly give trouble to the Sudra since sudras don't have much as labors don't make much money
And become a dog as punishment
Again varna is not by birth so a Sudra is a labor
@@Sun-bl1um So brahmana shouldn't take a shudra's food. Let's day I accept it for arguments sake. Then what is the problem in touching him?
Apastamba Samhita 5.1-2 “What would be the form of expiatory penance for a twice-born one, who, touched by a Chandala, drinks water before performing an A’chamanam? A Brahmana under the circumstance, should regain his purity by fasting for three nights and by taking Panchagavyam, while the term of the penance is two days only for a Kshatriya, its other factors remaining the same.”
Atri Samhita 1.185 “…if a twice-born person being anointed with oil or clarified butter, touches a Chandala; he should, after fasting for a day and night, purify [himself] with the Panchagavya.
Vishnu Smriti 23.41 Mire and water in the ruts on a high road, defiled by the touch of a dog, of a crow, or of a low caste person, as well as buildings constructed of baked bricks are purified by the winds.
Kurma Purana II.34.65 “A Brahmana, while Ucchista (with particles of food in the mouth or on hand) willfully touches Candalas or fallen persons (outcastes) should observe the Prajapatya vow for purification.”
@@Sun-bl1um Of course a shudrs does not have wealth. Because scriptures don't allow him to gather it.
Mahabharata 12.60.28-29 “A Sudra should never amass wealth, lest, by his wealth, he makes the members of the three superior classes obedient to him. By this he would incur sin.
Manu Smriti 8.417 Let a Brahmana unhestitangly appropriate to himself whatever (his) Sudra (Slave) has earned, inasmuch as nothing can be belong to the latter, he being himself an enjoyable good of the Brahmana.
Manu Smriti 10.129 No collection of wealth must be made by a Sudra, even though he be able (to do it); for a Sudra who has acquired wealth, gives pain to Brahmanas.
Fantastic video. Being a Hindu even i did not understand the cast system. But now i have the answer. Great work.
Birth Based Caste is a superstitious system, however Varna was the original system, in Varna there was no upper or lower, people chose the work of which they are qualified for and according to Bhagavad Gita, anyone can be a Brahman (Teacher), Shatriya (Warrior), Vaishya (Trader), Shudra (Labor) based on knowledge and skills:
🔹In Bhagavad Gita 4:13, Krishna says that he created different Varnas (Profession) on the basis of one's Karma (Activity) and Guna (Quality).
🔹Bhagavad Gita 5:18 "The truly learned, with the eyes of divine knowledge, see with equal vision a Brahmin, a cow, an elephant, a dog, and a dog-eater"
🔹Bhagavad Gita 9:29 "I am equally disposed to all living entities: there is neither friend nor foe to Me: but those who with living sentiments render divotional service unto Me, such persons are in Me and I am in them."
🔹Bhagavad Gita 18:41 "The duties of the Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras are distributed in accordance with their guṇas (quality) and not by birth.
Caste is a Spanish and Portuguese word 'casta' which stands for 'Breed' or 'lineage'.
During earlier times Caste use to be Varna (Profession) and based on merit and not by birth, I can give you instances from the ancient times, where a so-called modern day "lower caste" moved to "upper caste", e.g. Guru Valmiki, Kabir Das was from a shudra family but became a brahmin based on merit, etc
and btw Ravana was himself a Brahmin knowledgeable person from Northern India but because of his notorious activities he got punished by Rama (believed to be an OBC if we abide by caste categorization).
Lastly, you have to understand the British motive behind imposing caste:
The Caucasians (Europeans) created Hutus and Tutsis in Rwanda, Africa, to divide and control the native population, and for this reason, the Rwanda Genocide occurred.
The same attempts and inequalities Europeans also tried to create amongst Indians by separating Northern India and Southern India into "Aryans" VS "Dravidians" and further dividing Hinduism into 3,000 castes and 25,000 sub-castes.
And also read about Herbert Hope Risley who created casteism, racism in Indian society by one's facial features and skin color, and Bishop Robert Caldwell who propagated the "Aryan Invasion" in Southern India to convert "Dravidians" into Christianity.
Well vedas rigveda gives definition of four varna, yajurveda mentions definition of chandal and nishadha which is proof of birth based varna system and discrimination, mahabharat has many stories about birth based varna system ( check what " sut" in sutputra karna means) , bhagwat Gita talks about paap yoni etc and says one must do work of varna he was born into no matter how bad he was at it, and never do work of other varna no matter how good he is at it, ....with this context all Gita is actually trying to implement birth based varna system and discrimination out of which caste system originated. So caste discrimination is a religious problem that needs to be addressed.
I know I'm posting this often but everyone needs to hear this. Some of my Christian and atheist friends did gharwapasi and came back to Hinduism. To be precise it was 7 of them. At first they had their reservation about this but I told them to practice Yogā for 1 month. After 32 days of Yogā they were feeling very happy and wanted to know more about it and Vedanta philosophy. One of them told me that she liked Swami Vivekananda's biography very much. I plan to gift a copy of it to each one of them on their birthdays. Some of them told me that they have shared this knowledge with other atheists and Christian, ex Christian friends of theirs and some of their friends r taking interest in learning Sanskrit now.

Thank you brother.
As far as I know, I'm jat. The oldest distinct paternal ancestor of mine was in 1160 AD or so, One of the sons of a king from charkhi dadri in India .
Jats by jati are mostly farmers and infantry people, though a few arose to royalty Eg Raja Surajmal.
There is a concept of vansh(a) meaning the descendants of a long line of sons.
Varna is as you have expressed. But add to it. Krishna calls himself shudra (and subsequently implying vishnu and his other avatars belonging to that category too) with the task of cleaning up the society when it becomes too dirty, restoring the order ie 'dharma sthapna'.
Gotra relates to you linking your unbroken male lineage to one of the oldest original 8 sage.
And we are 'chandra' Kul.
There are meanings to words that over time lose their core sense. It is up to us the present generation to reclaim what has been lost.

another great video. i've one doubt i.e about manu smiriti though i know smiritis can be altered but still i find it hard that manu smiriti is not being properly understood. one way to check this, is the document has to go through finding out contradictions. a hindu document has to go through series of checks to get validated. the one instance in manu smiriti where it talks about social education to everyone regardless of their background but after 10 chapter it says so many distorted things about shudras.
arya samaj has done a great job in helping us clear this doubt as they've found that out of 1126 quotes only 856 quotes matches with the various sources of manu smiriti. rest are just manipulations since the one used now was published out of british press in 1836. hope u can help me with this.
There are a number of people who maintain that some of the Dharmashastras have interpolations and added verses. Its possible. But the evidence doesn't seem to be conclusive, so I would prefer to simply be straight and wherever there are ideas which do not support equality and justice we need to abandon or reinterpret them.
thanks for ur answer.
Can you point me to the conclusive evidence of this?
Dharma Speaks I would like to suggest you the book "The True History and Religion Of India: A Concise Encyclopedia of Authentic Hinduism".
I think it has sufficient conclusive proofs that British did tamper with many Vedic scriptures.

No matter how you want to explain or justify it - The continuation of caste system will ultimately lead to the irreversible implosion of India if not completely destroyed today. Period
Caste was imposed on India by British after revolt of 1857 . A person called Lord Riseley was sent to India to do this . He gave caste and arranged and categorised Caste heiarchies in India . This is not taught in schools . There is a book called Breaking India , should read that book . I do not believe in caste . Caste problem is present in all religions and countries , we have to remove it from our country .
The British have left now reject caste. Marry a dalit woman. Burn ur community certificate. Reject reservation and show ur support for hinduism
Lingayat religion formed 900 years ago from Hindus, it was exactly made to reject caste system, why you morons lying British created caste system??

Well vedas rigveda gives definition of four varna, yajurveda mentions definition of chandal and nishadha which is proof of birth based varna system and discrimination, mahabharat has many stories about birth based varna system ( check what " sut" in sutputra karna means) , bhagwat Gita talks about paap yoni etc and says one must do work of varna he was born into no matter how bad he was at it, and never do work of other varna no matter how good he is at it (bhagwatGita 18:47), ....with this context all Gita is actually trying to implement birth based varna system and discrimination out of which caste system originated. So caste discrimination is a religious problem that needs to be addressed.
Veda’s say that God Created Brahmins from his head, Kshatriyas from his chest, Vaishyas from his stomach and Shudras from his Foot. Brahmins were given Sattva Guna: Knowledge, purity, and happiness (14:6).
It also says that Sudras the lowest of four classes, was born in an “inferior womb” (Papayonaya, 9:32) because of the combination of their Tamas Guna (inherent traits such as ignorance, delusion, heedlessness, indolence and sleep, 14:8), and some sinful acts they must have committed in his previous lives, such as hitting a Brahmin or stealing his cow. If a Sudra wished to be reborn in a higher class, he should keep performing his Dharma (designated duty of serving the upper classes) helplessly (18:60) and faithfully in this life (18:45). Ostracism by society was considered worse than death (2:34).
I'm Balinese and Hindu. I'm respect all different function (not caste) of people in society, it's not discrimination.
Hindu unity zindabaad love all caste 🕉️💪💪💪
I like how you analyse and present the topic from different points of view. It's nicely done. Thanks for your work.
Birth Based Caste is a superstitious system, however Varna was the original system, in Varna there was no upper or lower, people chose the work of which they are qualified for and according to Bhagavad Gita, anyone can be a Brahman (Teacher), Shatriya (Warrior), Vaishya (Trader), Shudra (Labor) based on knowledge and skills:
🔹In Bhagavad Gita 4:13, Krishna says that he created different Varnas (Profession) on the basis of one's Karma (Activity) and Guna (Quality).
🔹Bhagavad Gita 5:18 "The truly learned, with the eyes of divine knowledge, see with equal vision a Brahmin, a cow, an elephant, a dog, and a dog-eater"
🔹Bhagavad Gita 9:29 "I am equally disposed to all living entities: there is neither friend nor foe to Me: but those who with living sentiments render divotional service unto Me, such persons are in Me and I am in them."
🔹Bhagavad Gita 18:41 "The duties of the Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras are distributed in accordance with their guṇas (quality) and not by birth.
Caste is a Spanish and Portuguese word 'casta' which stands for 'Breed' or 'lineage'.
During earlier times Caste use to be Varna (Profession) and based on merit and not by birth, I can give you instances from the ancient times, where a so-called modern day "lower caste" moved to "upper caste", e.g. Guru Valmiki, Kabir Das was from a shudra family but became a brahmin based on merit, etc
and btw Ravana was himself a Brahmin knowledgeable person from Northern India but because of his notorious activities he got punished by Rama (believed to be an OBC if we abide by caste categorization).
Lastly, you have to understand the British motive behind imposing caste:
The Caucasians (Europeans) created Hutus and Tutsis in Rwanda, Africa, to divide and control the native population, and for this reason, the Rwanda Genocide occurred.
The same attempts and inequalities Europeans also tried to create amongst Indians by separating Northern India and Southern India into "Aryans" VS "Dravidians" and further dividing Hinduism into 3,000 castes and 25,000 sub-castes.
And also read about Herbert Hope Risley who created casteism, racism in Indian society by one's facial features and skin color, and Bishop Robert Caldwell who propagated the "Aryan Invasion" in Southern India to convert "Dravidians" into Christianity.
That was right on target, well made

I learn a lot from this. 🙏🙏🙏
@my work unfortunately it had done but it is not in religion it had made politically so that some fuckers rulers can rule the world and not the others it is very worst thing made politically only
@my work Manusmriti was written by manu a goddam rissi. It's not consider the word of God. It's made by some rulers. Don't fool people.
@my work but bro, Krishna clearly says that varna depends on man's quality, not by birth and if you talk about our scriptures then you should also know that we have been under foreign rulers about thousands of years. Can you imagine how much exploitation the did over our Scripture and culture. Time to rise brother. Time to remove the darkness of explotation and bring the light of clarity. Manusmriti challenges the Vedas and Bhagavat Gita. If we are starting to follow it then the Mughals and British will be succeeded. Time to follow the real culture and you must also know that ours is a living breathing culture. There will be many engliten being to carry us to the light. So, don't make a religion of the book, follow the truth.
Hope you will understand.
Namaskarm.

Thanks for sharing this. I found this exposition most interesting and able to throw much insight in this very complex issue.
Hi, I was wondering if you read the book "Western Foundations of the Caste System" by Martin Farek, Dustin Jalki, Sufiya Pathan, and Prakash Shah? They're basically arguing that modern descriptions of caste in India are based on how the British perceived caste, and that what goes on the ground level based on ethnographic studies is a different story.
bp7891 I haven’t read the book. There is no doubt that the British had a significant role in the way caste is viewed. But it would be a mistake to see the caste issue is entirely based on this
Oh definitely didn't mean to suggest it was all the fault of the British, while Indians are totally innocent. What I mean to say that when Hindus are confronted with questions about casteism, the usual reply is to say that the original system was good and well intentioned and it later got corrupted throughout the years.
I think instead of saying how this hypothetical theoretical system should have been like, a better solution would be to look into anthropological studies and fieldwork on how jati and interactions between different jatis occurred, both historically in the past and in modern times in rural parts of India untouched by westernization, and figure out what was good, what was bad, and what was neutral about how the different jatis worked and interacted with each other on the ground level.
The book I mentioned up in my original comment doesn't focus too much on jatis in different parts of India, but it talks about how modern descriptions of caste are based on the Western Christian experience of caste and Indian culture, and how modern scholarship on India is still based on how Europeans thought societies should work, which doesn't work in an Indian context. The main point is that it's important to start off on the right foundation on how things actually happen on the ground level and work from there, otherwise you end up unintentionally causing more unrest and problems in Indian society.
I would really like you to understand why people are more defensive and clinging even harder to caste system now than ever before.There is so much of Christian and Muslim conversions that happen targeting certain castes.Why?Sorry to break this information caste system will and should never go away.What should happen is people from different castes/jatis should treat each other equally while celebrating the differences
bp7891 hmm
Yes you’re right it’s was the Englisch wo brought this Typ of Caste System before it’s three king and rest in middle and the Native people lived the way they did.
Excellent video. One point to note is that Manu Smriti has been manipulated and contaminated by British Raj In accordance with their divide and rule policy. They just hardened the already growing discrimination fueled by the hypocrisy of elite classes. Please include this point as well as it is very important.
Actually why dont you do a video on how British colonialists established a rigid ''caste'' system to further divide all Hindus and weaken Hindu society?
I have mentioned the British as a significant factor, however one cannot write off the whole thing as a British invention.
With the name you are using no one can take you seriously, lol
@Rich 91 lol really? Even after watching this video? Brahmin is just the priest class, dang when will you learn things right? 😂
@Rich 91 The perennial concept of people, language, agriculture and cultural ideas coming to India from outside and through the Northwest corridor doesn't produce much evidence. Because out of mt dna haplogroups 70-75% shows South Asian or Indigenous/ local origin. And among the rest 20-25% only 10% ( J2 haplogroup) shows proof of the external contribution to the haplogroups. The rest of the debatable portions ie 15-20% with the haplogroups L, R1 and R2 shows closer relations with the nearby or neighboring races ( ie Persians and Mongolians). Even if some sort of racial mixing happened it happened no sooner than at least 40 thousand years ago. By Mondal et all 2017.

I'd like to enlighten all those stupid Abrahamic extremists who mock Sanatana dharma based on this SOCIAL ISSUE (not religious).
The Varnasrma system was never intended to be based on birth nor it was static. The whole idea of the varnas comes from gunas or the qualities of an individual. For example, a person who had only a good physical strength and who did manual labor was considered as a shudra by his profession, a business merchant was considered as a vaishya, a person with formal education and who had skills in the arts of warfare as a Kshatriya and a person who mainly worked based on intellect or the mind was a brahmana. This was how people lived before the kali yuga and in the Vedic era. People could move freely move between castes.
Example; 1) The great Vishvamitra of the saptarishis(the seven sages) was a Kshatriya(by birth), but after he was enlightened, he became a brahmana.
2) Sage Valmiki (who has written the great epic Ramayana) was initially a hunter and of what common people now say 'lower castes' but he became a Brahmana later and wrote one of the greatest epics and is revered by all the Hindus. ................(and many more people too)
The Manusmriti was a document made by the man, and that's why they show these tough rules, much like your Quran and The Bible which promote much violence. All this discrimination, untouchability, and superstitions are due to human ignorance and are not flaws of any of the Hindu texts.
Read the Gita, where the god himself says that he created the four-fold varna system based on the qualities of an individual.
All this secularism has brought people like you who bribe the poor to convert them into your religions and create even more negativity and violence in our country- which never existed before- we were ALWAYS a peaceful community living to the right of the great Indus river, to which you fellas working for state-funded religious organizations and kings destroyed all the culture and wisdom of our people. (just think- in the initial years more than 80% of world deaths happened because of wars within your Abrahamic religions, but less than 1% in the Vedic ones like Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, etc(of a common origin).
May I remind you of the brutal people of your Abrahamic religions(mainly Islam and Christianity) coming to our neighborhoods- destroying entire cities, civilizations, wisdom, and all the scriptures?
May I remind you of your Jihad, polygamy, denial of basic rights to women, of your witch trials, massacres, forced conversions, and a whole lot of BLOODSHED.
You are the real racist people who have traded Africans and treating them like you treat animals for hundreds of years.
You were the cause of the destruction of entire communities of different ethnicities- The Red Indians, indigenous tribes of Africa, and many more.
Anyway, I'm not too concerned about you and your extremist views and I want to lead a peaceful life and attain moksha because I know that this is all the play of the Almighty brahman who exists in all gods- in ours, in yours. But, I just want to add a point that a person who doesn't accept any diversity and tortures people of different beliefs sending them to hell forever, etc should rather be treated as a merciless monster, not as a god.
Hope you have learned this truth before you learned it from me(a 15yr old kid). And from next time please don't utter any wrong about things without knowing anything about them. This is just your brainwashed extremist Abrahamic mindset which has destroyed world peace from time- immemorial.

Dhanyavad bandhu. Next time some dumb bitch starts to blabber about this, I will throw this explanation in his face.
Hindu texts read," I was born a Brahman, but I lived my life as an untouchable. Then-- I returned to Brahman." I understand this because I was born chandragupta maurya married general seleucus, but I was orphaned age 2, stolen, renamed an alias and kidnappers didn't let me sit at dinner table with them. Their son asked why I couldn't sit at table with them. Woman replied that I was " different than them". Filing lawsuit I won ann joyce versus u.s government (bush years) and organized crime, courts returned my stolen identity h.r.h Ana-Maria Romanov-Hanover Von habsburg. I continued living oppressed, endangered, but I learned how it felt to be oppressed, and I learned to love the law, law enforcement, and good governance. Life balances. Continue doing good.

@@eyyeff
Ahmed, first get rid of slavery of 6th century barbaric Arab tribes lock forcibly put on your unfortunate grand,grand.. through forcible circumcision for forcible conversion,thereafter, try to understand Sanatan with free human mind
@@ZChandra Firstly, there is no forcible conversion in Islam. If there cannot be forcible conversion, how can there be forcible circumcision? Make some sense dude.
U wanna compare casteism in sanatan with slavery in Islam? Let's do it. Tell me after this comparison if given a choice, u would like to be a shudra in Hinduism or a slave in Islam. Let's see how objective and open minded u r.
1. Slavery- non existent today vs Casteism - still practiced widely
2. Slavery - on account of prisoners of wars (thus in one's control) vs Casteism - by birth based on which family one is born in (no control whatsoever)
3. Not a single verse in Quran or Hadith enjoins taking one as slave vs Hundreds of shlokas clearly segregating, enjoining & promoting casteism
4. Multiple verses of Qur'an and Hadith promoting freeing slaves vs No provision to change caste in the same life in any sloka across all books of hinduism
5. Let's look at how they are to be fed, scripture vs scripture:
It was narrated that Abu Dharr (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “They are your brothers whom Allaah has put under your authority, so if Allaah has put a person’s brother under his authority, let him feed him from what he eats and clothe him from what he wears, and let him not overburden him with work, and if he does overburden him with work, then let him help him.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (6050)
On the other hand, let alone feed with a shudra equally, a Brahmana can't even give remnants of his food to a shudra.
Manu Smriti 4.80-81; Vasistha 18.14 Let him not give to a Sudra advice, nor the remnants (of his meal), nor food offered to the gods; nor let him explain the sacred law (to such a man), nor impose (upon him) a penance. For he who explains the sacred law (to a Sudra) or dictates to him a penance, will sink together with that (man) into the hell (called) Asamvrita.
6. If a slave wants to free himself, his master needs to make it easy for him, even contributing for his freedom:
“And such of your slaves as seek a writing (of emancipation), give them such writing, if you find that there is good and honesty in them. And give them something (yourselves) out of the wealth of Allaah which He has bestowed upon you”
Quran 24:33
Can a shudra become a Brahmana by any means in the same life? No. Not a single shloka allows this. Infact, on the contrary, a shudra can't even amass wealth. Proof below:
Mahabharata 12.60.36 “The Sudra should never abandon his master, whatever the nature or degree of the distress into which the latter may fall. If the master loses his wealth, he should with excessive zeal be supported by the Sudra servant. A Sudra cannot have any wealth that is his own. Whatever he possesses belongs lawfully to his master.”
7. A slave has rights & dignity in Islam, irrespective of his religion.
I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “Whoever slaps his slave or beats him, his expiation is to manumit him.” Narrated by Muslim (1657)
Contrary to this, killing (mind you, slapping led to emancipation in Isla & it is killing here) a shudra is like killing an animal.
Agni Purana 169.25-32 “…A man having killed a cat, a mongoose, a frog, a dog, a Godha, an owl, and a crow, should practice the penance he ought to have done, if he had killed a Shudra…”
I could go on and on, but I think for the rational ones I have made my point and for those with bias, any number of evidences wouldn't matter.
Sudra food can not eat because they hardly earn food for him and their food ,if brahman eat it ,it will be injustice towards sudra ,that's what scripture mean
@@nitinbull8720 Convenient interpretation. Where is that in the text?
If Brahmins were so concerned about shudras, why do they give him their left over food?
Mahabharata 13.143.29 “As regards food, he should eat that which remains after the needs of all persons have been satisfied.”

27) "Sarve jana sukhino bhavantu " (May you all live happily)
This is exactly the essence of Hinduism, all inclusive .. That is why it has withstood the test of time inspite of repeated onslaught both from within and outside, and assimilated every good aspects from everything . That is why it is eternal !!!
There is a saying in Rigveda , the first book ever known to mankind which depicts the Hinduism philosophy in a Nutshell " Ano bhadrah Krathavo Yanthu Vishwathah" Let the knowledge come to us from every direction.
Thank you for explaining this. As someone who has grown up with little exposure to either Hinduism or the culture in India this explanation made the situation much easier to understand as well as sate my curiosity on the subject.
Birth Based Caste is a superstitious system, however Varna was the original system, in Varna there was no upper or lower, people chose the work of which they are qualified for and according to Bhagavad Gita, anyone can be a Brahman (Teacher), Shatriya (Warrior), Vaishya (Trader), Shudra (Labor) based on knowledge and skills:
🔹In Bhagavad Gita 4:13, Krishna says that he created different Varnas (Profession) on the basis of one's Karma (Activity) and Guna (Quality).
🔹Bhagavad Gita 5:18 "The truly learned, with the eyes of divine knowledge, see with equal vision a Brahmin, a cow, an elephant, a dog, and a dog-eater"
🔹Bhagavad Gita 9:29 "I am equally disposed to all living entities: there is neither friend nor foe to Me: but those who with living sentiments render divotional service unto Me, such persons are in Me and I am in them."
🔹Bhagavad Gita 18:41 "The duties of the Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras are distributed in accordance with their guṇas (quality) and not by birth.
Caste is a Spanish and Portuguese word 'casta' which stands for 'Breed' or 'lineage'.
During earlier times Caste use to be Varna (Profession) and based on merit and not by birth, I can give you instances from the ancient times, where a so-called modern day "lower caste" moved to "upper caste", e.g. Guru Valmiki, Kabir Das was from a shudra family but became a brahmin based on merit, etc
and btw Ravana was himself a Brahmin knowledgeable person from Northern India but because of his notorious activities he got punished by Rama (believed to be an OBC if we abide by caste categorization).
Lastly, you have to understand the British motive behind imposing caste:
The Caucasians (Europeans) created Hutus and Tutsis in Rwanda, Africa, to divide and control the native population, and for this reason, the Rwanda Genocide occurred.
The same attempts and inequalities Europeans also tried to create amongst Indians by separating Northern India and Southern India into "Aryans" VS "Dravidians" and further dividing Hinduism into 3,000 castes and 25,000 sub-castes.
And also read about Herbert Hope Risley who created casteism, racism in Indian society by one's facial features and skin color, and Bishop Robert Caldwell who propagated the "Aryan Invasion" in Southern India to convert "Dravidians" into Christianity.
So glad someone is taking the pain of explaining these things to the world. Many thanks! Dharma speaks can you also shed some light on Wendy Doniger's - The Hindus an alternative history and the way Devdutt Patnayak views and talks about Hinduism. Today a lot of people follow these writers. I think we need some clarification there too. Basically the world needs to know the truth about Hinduism! This is only the second video of yours that I have seen so far. So not sure if you have created any on the above lines. Any ways great work!

@Dharma Speaks : I would also like to point out that the birth based _continuation_ of one's _varna_ was perpetuated by _jati_ or social groups. And it is true for all _varna_ , even more so in the _kshatriya_ , _vaishya_ & _shudra_ than the _brahmana_ mainly because the former three had power/physical assets/trade secrets passed from generation to generation. The narrative that the _brahmana_ chiefly tried to keep _varna_ it in their families is untrue. All other _varna_ perpetuated the same.
thanks for your insight

Work done by Arya Samaj and Dayanand Saraswati in abolition of Caste in modern times is most monumental and should find a mention in this video.
untouchability prevailed only for a limited time period ..none can deny that..but its not a part of Hinduism..British cunningly made very good use of it during that time period ..me being an orthodox Brahmin don't hesitate to share that I was not allowed into the pooja room with unclean clothes..none can call this untouchability..

Patrick Olivelle, a professor of Sanskrit and Indian Religions and credited with modern translations of Vedic literature, Dharma-sutras and Dharma-sastras, states that ancient and medieval Indian texts do not support the ritual pollution, purity-impurity premise implicit in the Dumont theory. According to Olivelle, purity-impurity is discussed in the Dharma-sastra texts, but only in the context of the individual's moral, ritual and biological pollution (eating certain kinds of food such as meat, going to bathroom). Olivelle writes in his review of post-Vedic Sutra and Shastra texts, "we see no instance when a term of pure/impure is used with reference to a group of individuals or a varnaor caste". The only mention of impurity in the Shastra texts from the 1st millennium is about people who commit grievous sins and thereby fall out of their varna. These, writes Olivelle, are called "fallen people" and considered impure in the medieval Indian texts. The texts declare that these sinful, fallen people be ostracised.[86] Olivelle adds that the overwhelming focus in matters relating to purity/impurity in the Dharma-sastra texts concerns "individuals irrespective of their varna affiliation" and all four varnas could attain purity or impurity by the content of their character, ethical intent, actions, innocence or ignorance (acts by children), stipulations, and ritualistic behaviors.[87]
Beautiful and ever lasting truthful explaination.

Caste system is necessary for every society not just India. If you dont understand the caste system you fundementally dont understand Sanatana Dharma. Equality is an illusion.

You've taken a difficult topic head-on and done a beautiful job of explaining and putting it in a chronological context as well. All us Hindus need to really understand what the system is and be able to explain when asked. Social mores change and are not set in stone. The Varna/jati system have been hijacked for many reasons ; social, economic, political and also as a proselytising tool by Christian and Muslim religions. Thank your for doing this video.
Caste had been abolished by Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu by giving His arms to the Chandal(dalit) to Brahmins. By chanting Hare Krishna, the caste difference dissolves. Actually, those differences are already in the system and is not heritable. But the society pushed their works to their successors making them heritable. However, Sri Chaitanya abolished it giving the topmost position to all who chants the name of God and his or her Varna is not at all relevant as the society had transformed it into groups than the qualities.
I'm Ganesamoorthy Subramaniam (SG) from Singapore; I'm a Thamizh and I must say at the outset that the Socially Solidified Stratification of the Caste System had NEVER Been and FOREVER will have no place in the Ethos and Lives of all civilised societies in the world. This decadent and unacceptable caste system was introduced into a casteless Thamizh society by the supposed Indo-Aryan (Brahmin) migrants from the Steppe Region in the 1st 3 Centuries BCE. These beef and horse-consuming Brahmins used much violence and impalement of the poor and innocent Thamizhs who were the great pioneers, innovators and insightful thinkers who were governing the whole of India; lots of great sages, including Buddha, Maha Veerer, Markhali Kosaalar vehemently opposed this system that was mindlessly perpetuated within the Indian society then by the Brahmin migrants. Why did they do this? They just wanted to enslave Thamizh society since it was the most advanced educated society then, and the way envisioned by the in-coming unmarried male Brahmins to enslave the Thamizhs via the caste system, denying them of all educational opportunities and ridding them of all job opportunities and ensuring that all Thamizhs are forced into the lowest caste categories of Suddras and Dahlits. They also relegated them to doing menial jobs as labourers and exorcised them from all sacred positions in Temples that were then built only by Thamizh sculptors. The worst case scenario was reallised by them when the promoted to the exalted position of the highest category of Brahmins. They had for the last one millennia usurped by forceful means all positions and reduced Thamizhs to being non-entities in a land that was having the highest GDP in the world through their own communitarian endeavours. To make the situation even more unpallatable they elevated Sanskrit to an exalted position of Sacred Language Status and reduced Thamizh to a dosha (Evil) Language Status and ensured that prayers in Thamizh Temples are conducted only in Sanskrit, thereby ensuring their life-long Employment ad infinitum in our Temples that have stood for several millennia as exemplars of great architecture, sculptural renaissance and reflecting the inventive and innovative mind of Thamizhars' pioneering spirit. I hereby rest my case. Kindest regards.

I had the thought of American slavery in my mind throughout this, as I am descended from black slaves, and I grew up Fundamentalist Christian.
I was thinking about this sociologically, both from a structural functionalist perspective (what role does it serve society) and a conflict perspective (which says society is biased towards the powers that be). I also thought of Marx's view of the "opiate of the masses", which means that religion is used as a power play. (Marx was mainly critiquing Christianity, though, not Hinduism.) On the one hand, religion has often inspired those who challenge the powers that be: examples include Gandhi and Dr. King (the latter, though a Christian, was inspired by the former).
So, I remain Christian, though I am wary, having seen the worse side of the religion. I know that other religions (including Judaism) are different from Christianity; nevertheless, I am troubled by how common it is to use religion as a tool of oppression,,and by the fact it happens in so many religions. Nevertheless, I am inspired by those of all religions and no religion who stand for justice.
The best video on 'caste'+'caste system' I have seen. As the narrator has clarified 'caste' exists in scripture but 'caste system' is a socio-political invention promoted by vested interests.

H! I'm a grade 7 student in an international school in Singapore. I'm doing research on Hinduism. I have used your excellent video to do my research, however, my teacher had asked me to write about the reliability of your channel. Is your channel accredited by any official Hindu Religious Association? Or can you let me know who wrote the content for this video? What are his or her credentials? Your response will help me to get a good grade. :-) Thanks
Well to that you might want to refer to "Vedas".
Even "Hinduism" wasn't a term itself until after Britishers came and destroyed our education system destroying so many things.
As it's clear that the teachings in India over ancient times was Oral and not written. One might ask the creditability of even the written evidence but these teachings are deep within our culture. Sure if your read various parts from "Veda" you can get the evidence that way but the beliefs and the devotion can't be explained through words themselves. I know this whole explaination sounds very confusing and I am sorry but it's the best I can explain as I also am trying to find clues how things are misinterpreted by other people to look down on our culture.....

“Critics are always quick to throw out the ancient wisdom of the tradition [caste]”
Are you serious? Any normal person who does not see the discriminatory and oppressive “caste tradition” as something acceptable should indeed ignore any of the alleged “wisdom” that it has associated with it.
It is exactly like saying “because we don’t want to spend money on sick people we should just let them die because it will save us money” or that “slavery has its positive wisdom. Look at all the work the slaves did! They work so hard!”
Mentioning the so called wisdom of the caste tradition would only have been acceptable if the caste system was not inherently wrong and oppressive. Then you could say that there are positives and negatives in either practicing caste discrimination.
But when someone juxtaposes “ancient wisdom” to something that so obviously wrong it only shows that that person is either a.)Believes in the caste system; or b.) is afraid to openly criticize it.
or c) it may have been appropriate centuries ago to organise society in a specific way for the greater good of all
@@DharmaSpeaks No. Putting an entire group of people by birth connection into a category of people whose entire life is allegedly predetermined to be cleaning trash and poop? That's how so many people who were formerly Hindu were converted (and for a good reason) to either Islam or to Christianity. Because to everybody in the entire world this caste practice is abominable.
@@DharmaSpeaks No. Of course not. To suggest that some practice which is abhorrent and illegal today was "appropriate" or "acceptable" because it was "long ago" is not a valid justification.
It just does not make any rational sense to justify something simply because it was "accepted" at the time. I put those words above in parentheses because I do not believe this was real acceptance.
By this logic absolutely anything that has occurred in the past, as long as someone claim it was "for the greater good of all" could be justified and any criticisms dismissed. This first of all includes things like mass murder and rape in wars, slavery, pedophilia. Those are the worst things that at some point in some places were "accepted". But there are of course much less shocking practices which we figured out today are wrong either according to science or enlightenment of some kind.
Here is an example that is closest to the heart of India. You have Persian Muslims invading and taking control of governance of the territory currently known as India. Someone could easily argue that everyone in that time in history was trying to conquer everybody else and it was acceptable because everyone did it.
And of course the British colonization of India is a more recent example. One could argue that everybody was establishing colonies in that time period of hundreds of years and that "it was acceptable". Acceptable to whom? To the British. To other Europeans, and to different political and social groups of Indians it was acceptable which is why they did their part to make colonization happen.
So on what objective moral basis could you criticize anybody if a practice was acceptable at the time? Simply saying "we know it is wrong because it hurt Indian people and stifled India's development" does not work because someone could come up with a scenario and say that it was for "good of all".
Basically, what you allege is not excusable by a time in history or some kind of claim of "benefit for all". Its just that people like yourself refuse to admit that there indeed were horrible practices at the core of India's culture and the Hindu religion. It does not invalidate the whole belief system, but it has to be acknowledged that what was wrong was indeed wrong.
Caste is indeed a evil system. Santana dharma doesnt have a concept of equality, fraternity and solidarity.

Doctors ask you to remove your footwear & not to touch patients in ICU does it mean doctors are degrading you? And are they practicing untouchability?
Same way if someone follows a lifestyle is it wrong?
You mad dog shut up
An excellent video which doesn't pretend that caste (varna+jati) doesn't exist in the scriptures. But points out caste DISCRIMINATION does not!
Manu Smrithi is interpreted incorrectly. An ascetic who has chosen a sanyasii lifestyle must renounce the worldly materialistic affairs. Does it mean saints are being degraded?
A person without love (bhakthi) towards God is avoided with non qualitative work because attainung brahmam is the ultimate objective of any being
ThiruppAnAzhwar was carried on head by brahmin priest inside the temple for his utmost devotion to god
This is just one such example where God sees no difference while we people see difference and it's our mistake & not god's mistake.
