Caste system in India | Truth about caste system | All you need to know about - Akhbaar Express

The caste system is not a god-made thing, it’s the human who made this. God never made this discrimination on the basis of birth, color, and gender. He believes in only karma. If you read the ancient history of India, you will find out that brahmins, Kshatriyas, vaishyas, and Shudras are just the job profile of people. It depends on what type of job you were doing, if you are a teacher then you are brahmin and if your son does business, your son is vaishya. Plus, the caste system words do not even exist in any scripture of Hinduism.

India is evolving, and people in the city especially the young generation do not follow this caste practice. But in rural areas, the caste system is still there.

Let’s understand this, I think most of you played clash of Clans. Let's think, You are in a clan, so whenever so need anything you ask your clan member, another clan member would not help you because you are not a member of their clan. Similarly, in rural areas when a man needs support, he asks his clan member. In-game we can change the clan but in real life, we can't. Here the clan is brahmin, Kshatriya, vaishyas, and Shudras.

Upanishads and Veda

Most people think the caste system is in our culture from the very first time. They think it’s in our Upanishad and Veda. Actually, these are those people who never even read one page of the Upanishad and Veda or they are just misinterpreted by the corrupt people of society. They are transferring the wrong information to the next generation. We need to stop them and the only way for this is to find the truth. If you know the truth, no one can misguide you. you don’t need to read the whole book but at least read enough to verify the information. Today even in the finance apps, there are 2 or 3-step verification for security then why not we can do this too before believing anything. Verify the information at least 2 or 3 times before believing it.

Bhagavat Geeta, Chapter 4, Shloka 13 says,

“Chaturvarnam maya shristim gunakarma vibhagashah
Tasya kartarmapi mam viddya akartaram avayayam”

The four-fold order was created by Me according to the divisions of quality and work. Though I am its creator, know Me to be incapable of action or change.

Manu smriti chapter 10 shloka 65 says,

शूद्रो ब्राह्मणतामेति ब्राह्मणश्चैति शूद्रताम् ।
क्षत्रियाज् जातमेवं तु विद्याद् वैश्यात् तथैव च ॥

Shudras attain the position of the brahmin and brahmins attain the position of Shudras, the same is done happens with Kshatriyas and vaishyas.

If you read all these books or only Bhagavat Geeta, you will realize, this caste is like what we call a profession today. You will never find the word “caste system” in the holy book of Hindus. It’s the human who misinterprets this thing to us, and we never check by ourselves, is he right or not? People are blindly following them. This is the reason why we are still stuck in this caste system.

What we can do

The caste system is rooted in our minds very deeply. As I said above, in urban areas, this practice is low because people are self-independent, when they face trouble, they sort out that by themselves or with the help of a friend. In rural areas, caste system practice is still followed at the same rate. The reason is people need a clan so that when their family faces trouble, they can go to their clan for help because they are dependent on others.

In a small village in Kerala, a Shudra girl is beaten to die because she loves a boy of the brahmin and they both want to marry. The boy's family beat her to death. They beat her in front of all the people of the village, on road to show their dominance. Similarly, there is the case, a shudra girl was rapped and killed by the Thakur's boys. The worse part is here, neither police help them nor government does anything for them. These are the only two cases, there are lots of cases in a different – different villages in India.

See, if things can change in urban areas then it’s also possible in rural areas. We need development and growth in rural areas too. People are still facing issues like starvation, sexual violence, lack of drinking water, no electricity, or lack of education. The government needs to change things in rural areas. If they also become self-independent, this practice will also get reduced in rural areas, and will naturally die with time.

Final words

The caste system is never in our religion, it’s the corrupt people who made all this nonsense to remain dominant in society.

Those people who called themselves a higher class, they don’t allow lower class people to enter their houses, eat beside them, stand with them, and not even touch them. They do all these stupid things because they think they are higher. They even fuck their women to show their dominance.

Now the time is changing and we need to change with time, otherwise, we will never be able to go forward. Things need to change; India is known for its power in the world but remember India is also known for its caste system and all this exploitation too. Hinduism is one of the best religions, no doubt, but also it’s not until and unless its followers follow this kinda practise.

We say our region treats every religion equally, but we fail to treat equally our own people. We say, we give the lesson of peace to the world, but fail to keep the peace between our own people.
