Re: Can you rank the castes from highest to lowest
^^ I talked about hindu religion’s caste system because someone was associating Pakistani cultural caste system with hinduism’s religious caste system. Otherwise seriously, I have better things to do in my life than slandering people/religions. What I stated about hinduism caste system is exactly what you can google about it. Saying that I was ‘criticizing’ hinduism is your baseless accusation. If stating facts is ‘criticizing’ in your mind then be it. You better google and then accuse all the pages with the same information as ‘criticizing’ hindu religion.
***"To be born a Hindu in India is to enter the caste system, one of the world’s longest surviving forms of social stratification. Embedded in Indian culture for the past 1,500 years, the caste system follows a basic precept: All men are created unequal. The ranks in Hindu society come from a legend in which the main groupings, or varnas,emerge from a primordial being. From the mouth come the Brahmans—the priests and teachers. From the arms come the Kshatriyas—the rulers and soldiers. From the thighs come the Vaisyas—merchants and traders. From the feet come the Sudras—laborers. Each varna in turn contains hundreds of hereditary castes and subcastes with their own pecking orders.
***A fifth group describes the people who are achuta, or untouchable. The primordial being does not claim them. Untouchables are outcasts—people considered too impure, too polluted, to rank as worthy beings. Prejudice defines their lives, particularly in the rural areas, where nearly three-quarters of India’s people live. Untouchables are shunned, insulted, banned from temples and higher caste homes, made to eat and drink from separate utensils in public places, and, in extreme but not uncommon cases, are raped, burned, lynched, and gunned down."
**The above copied from one of those google websites. On other sites, the fifth group of “Untouchables” is explained as religious minorities including Muslims and ‘Children of God’ which I believe is a term used for Christians. Is the above also wrong info or “criticism” of hindu religion?
That should also tell you if stating facts about hinduism is coming across as ‘criticism’ then where the problem lies. Enough said!
Dont waste your time because I have seen that some posters here are ignorant BY CHOICE, not because they lack awareness.
