Because you have no idea.
So enlighten us because we have no idea. Clarify instead of hiding it.
Vital aspects? So if you take out caste, hinduism is dead: is that what you mean.
Hinduism would be incomplete if you take discard certain things, wouldn't you agree?
Manusmrithi is the only book that talk about division based on work (read caste). And nobody worship that except some hardcore brahmins.
Bhagavad Gita does not talk about divisions?
This is exactly why I say you dont have any knwledge of present day India. Castism is now in place majorly because certain section demands and wants a positive discrimination for them in every aspect of life. Read reservations.
Do you know about Mayavati, who is all set to or trying to be the prime minister of India. Who is she? Help youself and google.
Do you know about the current chief justice of India. What is he?
Do you know about the former president, KR Narayanan. What was he?
All three are dalits occupying, aspiring to and occupied highest office of the country.
Why do international organizations addresse the Daalit problem so much?
Because there is positive discrimination based on caste people including muslims want to be considered on the basis of caste. If such system existed in Pakistan then there would also be people demanding reservation based on what caste they descended from.
So, why not remove the caste system and treat everyone equally?
If I type islamic terrorism I will get every link to Pakistan, hence my point that caste takes a back seat in your country where terrorism is a major issue.
Take a snapshot of that page where every search result links to Pakistan & share it with us, because I barely found any, hence your point is invalid & irrelevant to the topic at hand.
I am not saying that India does not have castism. It has but the influence it has on discriminating people is coming down drastically except at times when caste becomes an issue for positive discrimination.
How drastically? International organizations still complain about this problem in India and do not mention much about it decreasing.
If you say so I have to believe you. But GS gave me an impression that there is a lot of discrimination based on what kind of tribe you come from.
I have many rhetoric questions to ask about Islam , but I wouldnt as this would offend you terribly.
There may be discrimination in Pakistan, but certainly not pertinent to tribes. Tribes are used to identify ethnicities, like India has many Parsis (immigrants from Persia) and Pakistan has many Mughals (Persian-Mongloids) - both are types of tribes that trace back to another locality, and both can often be differentiated from others by their physical attributes.
I believe you are wrong. there is nothing like that in Bhagvad Gita.
In the Bhagavad Gita, Ch.18, verse 40:
The Lord says:
"There is no being on earth, or again in heaven among the gods, that is liberated from the three qualities born of Nature."
Gita Ch. 18, V.41:
"Of Brahmanas, Kshtriyas and Vaishyas, as also the **
*Sudras, O Arjuna, the duties are distributed according to *
**the qualities born of their own nature."
Gita Ch.18, v.42:
"Serenity, self-restraint, austerity, purity, forgiveness
and also uprightness, knowledge, realisation and belief in
God are the duties of the Brahmanas, born of their own nature."
Gita,Ch. 18, v.43: **
"Prowess, splendour, firmness, dexterity and also not
fleeing from battle, generosity and lordliness are the duties
of **Kshatriyas, born of their own nature."
Gita,Ch. 18, v. 44:
"Agriculture, cattle-rearing and trade are the duties of the Vaishya merchant class), born of their own nature; and action consisting of service is the duty of the Sudras (servant class), born of their own nature."
Gita, Ch. 18, v.48:
"One should not abandon , O Arjuna, the duty to which one is
born, though faulty; for, all undertakings are enveloped by evil, as fire by smoke."
Suppose a Bali Hindu is born in a Brahmin family and remains as a priest for sometime,and then if he chooses to become a teacher one day,his status will go to Vaishya from Brahmin.But this does not mean that he is touchable and is ostracized from his community for this reason.Again if he chooses to restart as a priest,he can do it ,and he will go back to Brahmin caste!!! In Bali,the caste is decided on one's profession and not by birth.Manu in his Manusmriti advocated the same only but as the time passed on, people had brought in many versions to it ,and became a tool for some people to foment caste feuds
What do you make of this verse:
Gita, Ch. 18, v.48:
"One should not abandon, O Arjuna,** the duty to which one is **
born, though faulty; for, all undertakings are enveloped by evil, as fire by smoke."
I will agree with you on one point, that people corrupted the concepts for their own interests.
