HINDU CASTE EXPLAINED

HINDU CASTE 


HOW DID CASTE CAME?

(SIMPLE EXPLANATION )


According to Hindu scriptures dating about 1000 years before Christ , caste is a basic acknowledgement in the society of Hindu people. Well , the caste divided into 4 groups that is BRAHMIN, KSYATRIAN , VASHIYAS and SHUDRAS .

According to the hierarchy, the Brahmins (பிராமணர்கள்) are teachers and intellectuals. In particular, they are the ruler or decision maker for KSYATRIAS(ஷத்திரியர்கள்) as the right arm for them. KSYATRIAS is a warrior primarily to protect the people we call KING. "remember BAHUBALI?" YES. A business lion or farmer, Hindus are categorized as VASHIYAS( வைசியர்) and finally SHUDRA(சூத்திர) is a common man. What is important is that there is no bad caste among these 4 caste groups. Later, injustice or discrimination came that the main castes were further divided into about 3,000 castes and 25,000 sub-castes, respectively, based on their specific occupations and it all because of the selfishness. Outside of this Hindu caste system were Dalits or who could not be created and invented by the British in 1800

For centuries, caste has shaped almost every aspect of Hindu religious and social life, with each group occupying a particular place in this complex hierarchy. The village community has long been organized by upper and lower castes almost always living in separate colonies, the wells are not shared, the Brahmins would not accept food or drink from the Shudra, and one could marry only within one's caste.  

 In conclusion, do not threaten the teachings of the true religion and the beliefs of our ancestors. thinking about the vision of 2020 and not the unreasonable humans for the next generation. THANK YOU .

  1. Any sort of racial or caste related segregations and discriminations rooted when ancient people failed to communicate the necessity of this structure. Another flaw is how the structure is mediated... Should it be on a linear or circular structure, the notion of upper or lower would never be coined. Seeing people based on what they do for living is the first mistake we did millenia ago. To rectify such a rooted and grounded blunder is way too impossible except teaching the new generation to see people and appreciate them no matter what job they do, what complexion they have and how deep their savings are. Basically, we are not ready to shape our mindset, let alone uttering how the next generation should be. Failed society.
