  • @donjuan4you Even in western countries, during medival times,children took up jobs of their forefathers,do u think, this was forced, too? Instead of sticking everything with religion, learn to understand things in their context. And if ppl were forced, why there was no uprising?? Why there are so many examples of ppl changing their profession from their ancestors? (krishna became a king, from cattle herding family,Chadragupta became a king from sudra family, valmiki, veda vyas, countless ex.)

  • @TheAtheistHindu Muslims and British invaders did most damage to Hinduism....Stop pretending like we are perfect....noone is perfect in the world, and we do not have to. We have to do whatever best fits into today's age. Ram had 1 wife, krishna had many..so who is better? We have to stop thinking like hypocrite followers of abrahmic religions. And be proud and learn from our ancient heritage.

  • @donjuan4you Caste system was most probably not based on 'color'. If it was, Hindu Brahmins would never have worshiped a dark skinned god called 'krishna'. Also, there are many dark skinned Brahmins and light skinned lower castes in India. Appearance wise too Brahmins were never known to be the muscle-iest ones and yet they were on top of the caste ladder.

  • Manusmriti did more damage to Hinduism than it did good. Anti-Hindus use it as their prime attack weapon nowadays.

  • Don't compare the Caste system with the current day newspaper labels like Intellectuals, Scholars, Labour etc.. The different is any of these people have the right to become anyone and change their profession and their children can do something else. In Hindu caste system, people were discriminated based on appearance, color and so called "status" and ancestry. People were forced to do the same job generation after generation for 1000s of years.

  • unbelieveable. i tried to explain how the indian caste system is NOT THE SAME AS THE Dharmic VARNA SYSTEM the last time; i think the last portion of the video was the SAME THING. im sorry but flawed talkers like yourself are a huge reason for these types of problems.
