Re: roadrunner:kindly differentiate vedism and hinduism
Vedic Society in ancient Pakistan had NO castes. The caste was an attempt by the couple of Aryans that migrated to the Gangetic plains from Pakistan, to subdue the dark skinned indigenous people of the Ganges. They told them, and conditioned them that white people were the highest caste, that they were untouchables, so dont question their authority or rule, which they didnt for a while. After this, the dark skinned people overthrew the Aryan rulers, and developed their own forms of Hinduism which put local people into the highest caste hierarchy, and did away with the colour based system, though to some degree it still exists. This is just Aryan conditioning in action.
again according to YOU...there is no proof of it. Besides, caste that is mentioned in purusha sukta of rig veda, I consider it as genuine. I am the biggest defender of it coz it doesn't mention it by birth.
