@@learninglocked2085And what about the genocide which happened during the Islamic and other invasions? It were the brahmins who were slaughtered the most.....and when it comes about taking accountability then tell me on which sources are you mentioning that they have oppressed us for "hundreds" of years, some people even say millennium, but on what basis? Yes, I agree that they did oppress but when? Wasn't it after the colonization of the country? And who did impose the caste system? Wasn't it the British? Well then tell me....according to the surviving scriptures we can understand that the Brahmins(Varna) were the ones with the responsibility that would preserve knowledge and impact education to the next generation, right? Then who would be benefiting when the once impacting knowledge were to be shown as the enemy of the other classes? But the Brahmins of the pre-independence era were noting like those of the medieval age. And karma is getting them most if them are not getting jobs lol due to the qota system...and yeah many brahmins were also reduced to poverty and there descendants don't even know that...Then tell are all brahmins in the wrong?
@ so Brahmins idols are Islam? If Islam behead people they'll also behead? It's all wrong but I am specifically talking about Brahmins refusing to take accountability because the topic and video is about caste system, bringing "whataboutism" won't make you look any better than the same monster you're comparing. ( Also not only brahmin all the other higher caste people should also take accountability)

As an American black person it’s really interesting to see the debate in the comments. Some of the arguments sound so familiar! “The caste system doesn’t exist anymore, and when it did it wasn’t as bad as people say. There’s no discrimination now, in fact it’s the Brahmin castes that are discriminated against! Dalit people get too many special privileges! I’m upper caste or lower middle caste but I know for sure that nothing bad happens to the lowest castes. I can prove there’s no discrimination, here are 3 Dalit people who made it to the top of society…”
Spot on!! 😭😭 Only an oppressed one can understand the plight of another oppressed. Your comment in the sea of such infuriating Indian comments made me cry 😭. The caste oppression in India and the subcontinent is the cruel most human rights violation in existence since millenia with little to no international attention. You can research more regarding this. For starters read BR Ambedkar. His most famous text is Annihilation of Caste, 1936

@@alok9307 what temples? The temples in Odisha like Jagannath and all other main temples have those worshippers who have descended frm persons, whom u call Dalit today, for aeons. Just take a dive into its history, u can't trash talk abt whole India, when we even didn't have similar histories 150yrs back. I agree, there were mistakes and it will take education only to wipe it all away, and let's not forget, it was better exploited by British too. There's too much subtlety on this. And I am not a forward caste myself and would like to see the same changes in the wider Indian society. Caste doesn't matter to me. FYI, these Jagannath temple is the only temple maintained by the "lower-caste" people, who barred Dr Ambedkar the same way as Ms Mamta bannerjee( supposedly muslim) . The thing was not casteism, but derogatory comments on the Hindu religion, when the former was himself unaware of Sanskrit and relied on plagiarized versions of Max muller translations of Hindu scriptures. Of course, Ambedkarji was very ahead of his time and this is commendable, but choosing out only brahmins for such atrocities was not a solution( royal families and warrior castes were also involved) , also when his teachers and many of the people who supported him initially were brahmins only. There were other reasons too I am not sure off, but I have no enmity towards the man, I can assure u.
Most of them do deny saying that caste system doesn't exist. But yes its a hard truth that it does exist. And from what Dr. Suraj Yengde had spoken its also truth and he is an living example of excellence from dalit community.

It's quite crazy how much the upper caste in urban India like to think that untouchability and casteism is a thing of the past. It is not. It very much still exists. And usually this ignorance is the reason people argue against reservation based on caste system in India. And before you reply saying that reservation should be based on economy please understand that reservation is not just a poverty alleviation scheme. It is a scheme to end discrimination and bring social equality. "But we had the reservation system for 70 years. By now things should've become equalised." In those same 70 years, India hasn't been able to provide every citizen with electricity, water or proper toilet system. What makes one think 70 years is enough time for social justice from a caste system that has existed for 500 plus years?

Being a Dalit I experienced discrimination since childhood. In primary school my schoolmates asked me about my caste, I said I'm Hindu because during that time I had no idea about caste system, In secondary school no one wants to sit with me because they knew that I'm from lower caste, in college as well one of my professor didn't even listen and ignored me (and he has made such faces which shows how much angry he is)during my presentation and he was calling people by their surnames and my surname was different and my category was mentioned ( I was about to cry during that time). Till college I was hiding my Dalit identity but not now. I had no courage to tell anyone that I'm a Dalit because of fear that they might discriminate and harass me. Even now many of my Dalits friends hiding their identity because of fear, discrimination and harassment.
Our parents made us weak and never taught us to stand for our identity, I have a similar story, let them hate us as much they want, we will stand for our self respect and identity whatever happens and whatever we have to face

He spoke openly about what his life was like and I was so appreciative of his frankness.

I come from the general category and i can agree that there is not outright discrimination in the public but through many rituals you can see the discrimination still prevails . Still i have high hopes as we can see today the people are not so keen in passing their religious beliefs in their younger ones so in the upcoming generation we can resolve such problem . In my view the first thing we must do is that dalits must be allowed to be priest in the temple . And this must not be done through the legislation but by the Brahmin community themself.

@@amitpatil5538 ''there is myth that Hinduism has a caste system based on occupation. The reality is no one can ever change their caste throughout one's life. '' lol tf? Where is it written in the original Vrana system that cast cannot be changed? No where in the vedas, Upanishads and most Dharma Shastras is the cast system defined as unchangeable . Many examples exist of change of Varnas in Vedic history. a. Aitareya Rishi was son of a Daasa or criminal but became a Brahmin of highest order and wrote Aitareya Brahman and Aitareyopanishad. Aitareya Brahman is considered critical to understand Rigveda. b. Ailush Rishi was son of a Daasi, gambler and of low character. However he researched on Rigveda and made several discoveries. Not only was he invited by Rishis but also made an Acharya. (Aitareya Brahman 2.19) c. Satyakaam Jaabaal was son of a prostitute but became a Brahmin. d. Prishadh was son of King Daksha but became a Shudra. Further he did Tapasya to achieve salvation after repenting. (Vishnu Puran 4.1.14) Had Tapasya been banned for Shudra as per the fake story from Uttar Ramayan, how could Prishadh do so? e. Nabhag, soon of King Nedishtha became Vaishya. Many of his sons again became Kshatriya. (Vishnu Puran 4.1.13) f. Dhrist was son of Nabhag (Vaishya) but became Brahmin and his son became Kshatriya (VP 4.2.2) g. Further in his generation, some became Brahmin again (VP 9.2.23) h. As per Bhagvat, Agniveshya became Brahmin though born to a king. i. Rathotar born in Kshatriya family became a Brahmin as per Vishnu Puran and Bhagvat. j. Haarit became Brahmin though born to Kshatriya (VP 4.3.5) k. Shaunak became Brahmin though born in Kshatriya family. (VP 4.8.1). In fact, as per Vayu Puran, Vishnu Puran and Harivansh Puran, sons of Shaunak Rishi belonged to all four Varnas. Similar examples exist of Gritsamad, Veethavya and Vritsamati. l. Matanga was son of Chandal but became a Brahmin. m. Raavan was born from Pulatsya Rishi but became a Rakshas. n. Pravriddha was son of Raghu King but became a Rakshas. o. Trishanku was a king but became a Chandal p. Sons of Vishwamitra became Shudra. Vishwamitra himself was a Kshatriya who later became a Brahmin. q. Vidur was son of a servant but became a Brahmin and minister of Hastinapur empire. 9. The word “Shudra” has come in Vedas around 20 times. Nowhere has it been used in a derogatory manner. Nowhere it mentions that Shudras are untouchable, birth-based, disallowed from study of Vedas, lesser in status than other Varnas, disallowed in Yajnas. 10. In Vedas, Shudra means a hard-working person. (Tapase Shudram - Yajurved 30.5). And that is why Purush Sukta calls them as foundation of entire human society. 11. Since the four Varnas refer to 4 kinds of activities by choice, as per Vedas, the same person exhibits characteristics of the 4 varnas in different situations. Thus everyone belongs to all the 4 varnas. However, for simplicity sake, we refer to the predominant profession to be the representative Varna. And hence, all humans should strive to be all the 4 Varnas to best of their capabilities, as per Vedic wisdom. This is the essence of Purush Sukta. The Rishis like Vasisth, Vishwamitra, Angira, Gautam, Vaamdeva and Kanva exhibited traits of all the four Varnas. They discovered meanings of Vedic mantras, destroyed Dasyus, did manual labor and indulged in wealth management for social welfare. We should also emulate the same. In summary, we see that the Vedic society considers all humans to be one single Jaati or race, upholds the dignity of labor and provides equal opportunity for all humans to adopt the Varna of their choice. There is no element of birth-based discrimination of any manner in the Vedas. May we all unite together as one integrated family, reject the last element of birth-based discrimination of any manner and embrace each other as brothers and sisters. May we also thwart the designs of those who want to mislead us by making baseless claims of casteism in Vedas and destroy the criminals aka Dasyu/Daas/Rakshas. May we all come under the shelter of Vedas and work together to strengthen the humanity as one single family.

The Aryan invasion theory was discarded decades ago. This was a theory proposed by British archeologist Mortimer Wheeler who thought that the many unburied corpses at Mohenjo Daro may have been victims of a conquest by the Aryan invaders. But he dropped his position after no evidence of wars could be discovered, and the skeletons were found to be hasty interments, not massacred victims. Today the theory that's currently accepted is the Aryan Migration Theory (AMT) which proposes that the Aryans migrated to the Indian subcontinent and intermarried the inhabitants of the Indus Valley Civilisation.
Not really. You can be anti-caste and still be Hindu. Hinduism is a really loose term that encompasses most of South Asian cultural practices. The point is to remove the casteist system.

@@marcushudson6528 Caste system is very complex. There's always different oppressing caste in the region. Different for north, west and south india. It's like dominance.

@Marcus Hudson There are dark skin Indians who belong to higher castes and also lighter/fair skin tones who belong to lower castes..it's usually not based on skin colour, though people from lower caste groups may have more no. of darker skin people compared to higher caste because of the nature of their work...Colorism is also a common problem in India...darker skin tone people are not seen much in movies,modelling industry and media or any sort of job that prefers good looking candidates(fair skin is generally seen as an beauty asset here)....usually in arranged marriages grooms and his parents prefer fair & beautiful bride..recently even brides prefer guys with fair skin tone...pregnant women are advised to drink milk with turmeric and saffron to have fair skinned babies..
@you know it better we did give rights to everyone. It IS in our constitution. So don't spread false information. Accept valid criticism of your country. And I said in a previous comment that we have classism instead of caste system. But I can say without a doubt that our religious groups get along better than the groups in India. Didn't a group of Hindus kill Muslims for eating beef? Don't Hindus get attacked by Muslims in your country? Doesn't india have acid attacks and a 40% rape rate? I never said sri lanka was amazing. It obviously isn't. We have corrupt politicians, war criminals in power. I just said that we don't have a caste system.
@you know it better we have rights for every religion in our country. It's written in the constitution so don't spread false information. Obviously our country isn't perfect or innocent. I never said it was. I just point out the fact that we don't have a caste system.
@Ashish Jena Listen your opinion alone doesn't matter here! I have read your previous comments on this video under other people's comments. It seems because ur father is kshatriya that you didn't face any sort of discrimination or perhaps it is the environment you grew up in. Remember that may not be the same case for others!
@Ashish Jena Your ignorance towards this topic is quite apparent. Discrimination doesn't always mean outright discrimination like earlier times. In direct ones. Like how it is apparent people will make comments about reservation around you. Or how they wouldn't really involve you in things. There are actually many ways. If you really want to know. I would suggest you to visit Esha Bahals page on instagram. You will perhaps take an upper caste persons more on this seeing how you keep disagreeing to others. She has made a video about Indirect castism. Do check it out. I won't reply to you anymore. Please, don't be so ignorant. Its sad to know that one of ur parents is from lower caste and you still don't have adequate knowledge on this matter!

Writing so much Gyan seems easy to you but people doesn't understand that if you provide privileges to a certain group by taking away the those things from a person who deserves it ,it will directly create division in the minds of oppressed which will eventually not lead to a United society . Instead of this they should be provided with EQUAL opportunities not by superceding each others rights.

Just to give a proof to Asian Boss viewers that castesim still exist in India.... Just see comments - there is hardly less than 1% comments from upper caste Hindu..!! And even if they did comment, they are being oppressive even in comments..!!!
This is a horrible Hindu hierarchy system in India. This is why I absolutely despise Hinduism as a religion. Islam historically treats everyone with equality. The Prophet (PBUH) abolished all caste systems and made all men and women equal to each other. Everyone is equal in the eyes of God, superior only in their devotion to Allah (God) and not ever in relation to one another. Those who are pious and live a good way of life treating people with respect and dignity, following the right path, prescribed by Him are rewarded in the life thereafter. All of South Asia does not identify with this horrible system. This would be considered Un-Islamic countries in all the major Islamic countries of South Asia
The "caste" is a Portuguese term which used to be popular in christian cultures and it doesn't have any translation in any native Indian language. Rather there used to be a "Varna System" in India based on one's profession and not his/her birth. There are 4 Varnas based on your profession - Brahmin(teachers/ intellectuals), Kshatriya(warriors/ soldiers/ king administrators), Vaishya(traders/ farmers), Shudras(labourers/ workers). Anyone can change their Varna in the lifetime if they are skilled in something else and if they qualify. This classification was done so that right people were doing the right job according to their skills. *Now let me tell you how things got distorted and it became based on birth.* When there was continuous foreign invasion happening in India (for around 800-1000 years), people started giving the same Varna to their child in order to keep this system and it's knowledge alive. We lost our cultural glory, immense knowledge and wealth to the invaders. But still India is the only ancient country which has it's knowledge of 3000-5000 year old culture alive thanks to our ancestors. Don't fall for any propaganda video or article justifying caste system in India. I'm not saying it's not at all present but it's almost negligible and only limited to some regions. India is itself a combination of different cultures & languages so if you see something about India it doesn't count for all 1.4 billion people. Here are live 25 different countries living together peacefully.
Lol putting blame on invader 😂 Lingayat religion was formed against untouchability in 11th century when no britisher or Mughals came! Dna genesis of birth based caste system tell that it's more thank 2k years old All the problems have started around gupta period
Oh .. it's negligible.!!?? Search a house for a rent or do any property deal... Leave ...just talk to a person by introducing yourself as Shivam Chamar in the most modernise Indian city acc. to you.. You will get the idea, how negligible it is...!!!😒
For Who don't know , Caste System was based on Profession not by birth ... But peoples actually made it wrong .... Today , There is ban on Caste System in India and President of India is also from caste called as Dalit ... Its changing ...
and the said president himself is discriminated against for wanting to enter a temple with he not being allowed/with the priests "purifying" the temple after his visit. and no, the caste system was never based on profession, i.e., it never was a mere division of labour. it was always a division of labourers, sure, but by birth.
@@sleepyhead6023 Who went to Ayodhya Ram Temple in last week ? Wasn't that president .... Sir , Idk where are you from but try to see the reality ... Caste System was based on Profession not by birth ... But unfortunately , This caste system started acting such cowardly after 16th century ....
@@geopolitics8709 ohh, the ayodhya temple that the bjp built on demolishing babri mosque!!! well, the mosque was built in the first place by lower caste labourers in the 1500's (the 16th century); it was then demolished in 1992 (the 20th century) by pre the dominantly lower caste cadre of the vhp and other sangh parivar organizations at the command of the organizations' predominantly brahmin (upper most caste) leadership. in fact bhanwar meghvanshi, an ex cadre member and present day ambedkarite even wrote a book titled, 'why i could not be a hindu', talking of his experiences with the rss and sangh parivar in general. and with the 'idk where you are from' point, it looks like even your scoundrel self has found its last refuge in patriotism. so, sure, caste is NOT a division of labour with different professions being different castes, it IS a division of labourers with different castes being ordained for different occupations by birth.

Yes, I agree that they did oppress but when? Wasn't it after the colonization of the country? And who did impose the caste system? Wasn't it the British?
Well then tell me....according to the surviving scriptures we can understand that the Brahmins(Varna) were the ones with the responsibility that would preserve knowledge and impact education to the next generation, right? Then who would be benefiting when the once impacting knowledge were to be shown as the enemy of the other classes?
But the Brahmins of the pre-independence era were noting like those of the medieval age. And karma is getting them most if them are not getting jobs lol due to the qota system...and yeah many brahmins were also reduced to poverty and there descendants don't even know that...Then tell are all brahmins in the wrong?

Just take a dive into its history, u can't trash talk abt whole India, when we even didn't have similar histories 150yrs back. I agree, there were mistakes and it will take education only to wipe it all away, and let's not forget, it was better exploited by British too. There's too much subtlety on this. And I am not a forward caste myself and would like to see the same changes in the wider Indian society. Caste doesn't matter to me.
FYI, these Jagannath temple is the only temple maintained by the "lower-caste" people, who barred Dr Ambedkar the same way as Ms Mamta bannerjee( supposedly muslim) . The thing was not casteism, but derogatory comments on the Hindu religion, when the former was himself unaware of Sanskrit and relied on plagiarized versions of Max muller translations of Hindu scriptures. Of course, Ambedkarji was very ahead of his time and this is commendable, but choosing out only brahmins for such atrocities was not a solution( royal families and warrior castes were also involved) , also when his teachers and many of the people who supported him initially were brahmins only. There were other reasons too I am not sure off, but I have no enmity towards the man, I can assure u.
Most of them do deny saying that caste system doesn't exist. But yes its a hard truth that it does exist. And from what Dr. Suraj Yengde had spoken its also truth and he is an living example of excellence from dalit community.

And before you reply saying that reservation should be based on economy please understand that reservation is not just a poverty alleviation scheme. It is a scheme to end discrimination and bring social equality.
"But we had the reservation system for 70 years. By now things should've become equalised." In those same 70 years, India hasn't been able to provide every citizen with electricity, water or proper toilet system. What makes one think 70 years is enough time for social justice from a caste system that has existed for 500 plus years?

Being a Dalit I experienced discrimination since childhood. In primary school my schoolmates asked me about my caste, I said I'm Hindu because during that time I had no idea about caste system, In secondary school no one wants to sit with me because they knew that I'm from lower caste, in college as well one of my professor didn't even listen and ignored me (and he has made such faces which shows how much angry he is)during my presentation and he was calling people by their surnames and my surname was different and my category was mentioned ( I was about to cry during that time). Till college I was hiding my Dalit identity but not now. I had no courage to tell anyone that I'm a Dalit because of fear that they might discriminate and harass me. Even now many of my Dalits friends hiding their identity because of fear, discrimination and harassment.
In my case all my friends are dalits but we never judged each other on basis of caste

BUT I WILL NOT DENY THE FACT THAT CAST DISCRIMINATION STILL EXISTS I MYSELF EXPERIENCED ALOT
I come from the general category and i can agree that there is not outright discrimination in the public but through many rituals you can see the discrimination still prevails .
Still i have high hopes as we can see today the people are not so keen in passing their religious beliefs in their younger ones so in the upcoming generation we can resolve such problem .
In my view the first thing we must do is that dalits must be allowed to be priest in the temple . And this must not be done through the legislation but by the Brahmin community themself.

It’s insane to me that this day and age, a barbaric caste system could exist that would label someone “untouchable”. But maybe I shouldn’t be surprised. Humans have amazing potential, but rarely take the steps to reach it for the greater good.

@@alok9307 actually , the caste system was just the categorisation based on occupation
And you are allowed to change your cast whenever you want depending upon the change of your occupation
There was no upper caste or lower caste !
All casts were of equal importance and this was the caste system founded in Hinduism
The system was later changed by migrants who came to India who believe that they were superior to the natives . Many Hindus opposed the caste system all throughout its existence
Many Hindu saints are literally from the lowest caste

@@amitpatil5538 ''there is myth that Hinduism has a caste system based on occupation. The reality is no one can ever change their caste throughout one's life. '' lol tf?
Where is it written in the original Vrana system that cast cannot be changed? No where in the vedas, Upanishads and most Dharma Shastras is the cast system defined as unchangeable .
Many examples exist of change of Varnas in Vedic history.
a. Aitareya Rishi was son of a Daasa or criminal but became a Brahmin of highest order and wrote Aitareya Brahman and Aitareyopanishad. Aitareya Brahman is considered critical to understand Rigveda.
b. Ailush Rishi was son of a Daasi, gambler and of low character. However he researched on Rigveda and made several discoveries. Not only was he invited by Rishis but also made an Acharya. (Aitareya Brahman 2.19)
c. Satyakaam Jaabaal was son of a prostitute but became a Brahmin.
d. Prishadh was son of King Daksha but became a Shudra. Further he did Tapasya to achieve salvation after repenting.
(Vishnu Puran 4.1.14)
Had Tapasya been banned for Shudra as per the fake story from Uttar Ramayan, how could Prishadh do so?
e. Nabhag, soon of King Nedishtha became Vaishya. Many of his sons again became Kshatriya. (Vishnu Puran 4.1.13)
f. Dhrist was son of Nabhag (Vaishya) but became Brahmin and his son became Kshatriya (VP 4.2.2)
g. Further in his generation, some became Brahmin again (VP 9.2.23)
h. As per Bhagvat, Agniveshya became Brahmin though born to a king.
i. Rathotar born in Kshatriya family became a Brahmin as per Vishnu Puran and Bhagvat.
j. Haarit became Brahmin though born to Kshatriya (VP 4.3.5)
k. Shaunak became Brahmin though born in Kshatriya family. (VP 4.8.1). In fact, as per Vayu Puran, Vishnu Puran and Harivansh Puran, sons of Shaunak Rishi belonged to all four Varnas.
Similar examples exist of Gritsamad, Veethavya and Vritsamati.
l. Matanga was son of Chandal but became a Brahmin.
m. Raavan was born from Pulatsya Rishi but became a Rakshas.
n. Pravriddha was son of Raghu King but became a Rakshas.
o. Trishanku was a king but became a Chandal
p. Sons of Vishwamitra became Shudra. Vishwamitra himself was a Kshatriya who later became a Brahmin.
q. Vidur was son of a servant but became a Brahmin and minister of Hastinapur empire.

The word “Shudra” has come in Vedas around 20 times. Nowhere has it been used in a derogatory manner. Nowhere it mentions that Shudras are untouchable, birth-based, disallowed from study of Vedas, lesser in status than other Varnas, disallowed in Yajnas.
10.
In Vedas, Shudra means a hard-working person. (Tapase Shudram - Yajurved 30.5). And that is why Purush Sukta calls them as foundation of entire human society.
11.
Since the four Varnas refer to 4 kinds of activities by choice, as per Vedas, the same person exhibits characteristics of the 4 varnas in different situations. Thus everyone belongs to all the 4 varnas. However, for simplicity sake, we refer to the predominant profession to be the representative Varna.
And hence, all humans should strive to be all the 4 Varnas to best of their capabilities, as per Vedic wisdom. This is the essence of Purush Sukta.
The Rishis like Vasisth, Vishwamitra, Angira, Gautam, Vaamdeva and Kanva exhibited traits of all the four Varnas. They discovered meanings of Vedic mantras, destroyed Dasyus, did manual labor and indulged in wealth management for social welfare.
We should also emulate the same.
In summary, we see that the Vedic society considers all humans to be one single Jaati or race, upholds the dignity of labor and provides equal opportunity for all humans to adopt the Varna of their choice.
There is no element of birth-based discrimination of any manner in the Vedas.
May we all unite together as one integrated family, reject the last element of birth-based discrimination of any manner and embrace each other as brothers and sisters.
May we also thwart the designs of those who want to mislead us by making baseless claims of casteism in Vedas and destroy the criminals aka Dasyu/Daas/Rakshas.
May we all come under the shelter of Vedas and work together to strengthen the humanity as one single family.
This was such a great interview, almost life-changing. What an amazing individual, I was able to learn 17 new words throughout the interview. Would love to know how his sibling and parents are doing now.
Casteism still exists in India.
@Ashish Jena it ain't about the volume it's bout the concept of it. If there is more than one it exists.
@Ashish Jena Then you can marry a girl from a lower caste? And would you allow your sister to marry a boy from a lower caste?
@Ashish Jena when you are aknowledging that discrimination exists everywhere then just accept that caste based discrimination is still prevalent in many parts of our society, and try to work to make things better
@Ashish Jena
Is it in every house in India? In the villages, people still do not touch the people of the lower caste, the society is still against marrying in another caste, even doing love marriage is a sin, don't you know?
@Ashish JenaThere is a difference between dogs and humans, in Hinduism, people worship animals too, so how can humans be considered impure?

Although, the modern historians in India believe that the Aryan invasion never happened, but many also believe that the historians deny it because they are politically motivated and are told to debunk it as not to further split up the divide between India.
Although, majority of the low castes still firmly believe and criticize the upper castes because they claim they are the only native people of this land and the upper castes are outsiders.. I see that a lot on social media.

The Indo-Europeans (Aryans) migrated from Eurasia approximately thousands into South Asia and created Caste System in which dark skinned natives were given low caste status. All humans are equal but the Indian caste system gives some humans lower status than some animals like the Cow !

Thanks you so much for bold title.

For reference how blacks are treated in America same kind of thing is happening in India.
For example: How caste can made different kind of treatment Depending on your caste
Upper caste service and same caste tea will be served in Glass or stainless steel
For Scheduling caste and Scheduled Tribes tea will be served in Single time usable cup or use and throw clay pot .
Other backward class people think if use product touched by a schedule caste people that has been considered as unholy things.
India's major population lives in villages in case of villages the caste is thing very worst.
Irrespective of anything if you are in a higher position also you don't it get any respect or treated as a normal human being you are in other caste.
Even Gandhi, Indira Gandhi, Ambedkar are not allowed certain temples because of shitty thing in Manu dharma.

Actually aryan invasion create such massive caste system in india.
The Aryan invasion theory was discarded decades ago. This was a theory proposed by British archeologist Mortimer Wheeler who thought that the many unburied corpses at Mohenjo Daro may have been victims of a conquest by the Aryan invaders. But he dropped his position after no evidence of wars could be discovered, and the skeletons were found to be hasty interments, not massacred victims. Today the theory that's currently accepted is the Aryan Migration Theory (AMT) which proposes that the Aryans migrated to the Indian subcontinent and intermarried the inhabitants of the Indus Valley Civilisation.
"aryan invasion" is a theory not the fact first if all.

I wonder if Dr.Surat Yengde can bring me in contact with a family with children so I can pay their school fees zo that the parents don’t have the burden also for that. I believe change start with education. One one support can make a real difference!
it's a huge deal you say that :)
Great Interview Dr. Suraj yengde Dada ❤️
There are many people from the Dalit community who are at the top positions in politics and government positions even in India. Caste system is not well understood even by Indians.
Just to give a proof to Asian Boss viewers that castesim still exist in India....
Just see comments - there is hardly less than 1% comments from upper caste Hindu..!! And even if they did comment, they are being oppressive even in comments..!!!

Thanks you Asian boss for the insights
Suraj yengde 💫✊🏻 .... .... ...
Thank you for inviting him Asian Boss😇. 💕 .........
Very glad to hear that this system of caste is gaining global recognition and condemnation.
This is a horrible Hindu hierarchy system in India. This is why I absolutely despise Hinduism as a religion. Islam historically treats everyone with equality. The Prophet (PBUH) abolished all caste systems and made all men and women equal to each other. Everyone is equal in the eyes of God, superior only in their devotion to Allah (God) and not ever in relation to one another. Those who are pious and live a good way of life treating people with respect and dignity, following the right path, prescribed by Him are rewarded in the life thereafter.
All of South Asia does not identify with this horrible system. This would be considered Un-Islamic countries in all the major Islamic countries of South Asia
😂😂
Caste system is as much practiced by South Asian muslims as Hindus.
Lol , Islam is the most regressive religion . It was suppose to die a long time ago .
Yes but islam have one problem it discrimination muslim and non Muslim.... that is big problem of Islam...
Dr.B.R. Ambedkar
Yes! We would like to listen to more about his books, and accomplishments!
The "caste" is a Portuguese term which used to be popular in christian cultures and it doesn't have any translation in any native Indian language. Rather there used to be a "Varna System" in India based on one's profession and not his/her birth. There are 4 Varnas based on your profession - Brahmin(teachers/ intellectuals), Kshatriya(warriors/ soldiers/ king administrators), Vaishya(traders/ farmers), Shudras(labourers/ workers).
Anyone can change their Varna in the lifetime if they are skilled in something else and if they qualify. This classification was done so that right people were doing the right job according to their skills.
*Now let me tell you how things got distorted and it became based on birth.*
When there was continuous foreign invasion happening in India (for around 800-1000 years), people started giving the same Varna to their child in order to keep this system and it's knowledge alive. We lost our cultural glory, immense knowledge and wealth to the invaders. But still India is the only ancient country which has it's knowledge of 3000-5000 year old culture alive thanks to our ancestors.
Don't fall for any propaganda video or article justifying caste system in India. I'm not saying it's not at all present but it's almost negligible and only limited to some regions. India is itself a combination of different cultures & languages so if you see something about India it doesn't count for all 1.4 billion people. Here are live 25 different countries living together peacefully.
Lol putting blame on invader 😂
Lingayat religion was formed against untouchability in 11th century when no britisher or Mughals came!
Dna genesis of birth based caste system tell that it's more thank 2k years old
All the problems have started around gupta period
Oh .. it's negligible.!!??
Search a house for a rent or do any property deal... Leave ...just talk to a person by introducing yourself as Shivam Chamar in the most modernise Indian city acc. to you..
You will get the idea, how negligible it is...!!!😒
For Who don't know , Caste System was based on Profession not by birth ... But peoples actually made it wrong .... Today , There is ban on Caste System in India and President of India is also from caste called as Dalit ... Its changing ...
and the said president himself is discriminated against for wanting to enter a temple with he not being allowed/with the priests "purifying" the temple after his visit. and no, the caste system was never based on profession, i.e., it never was a mere division of labour. it was always a division of labourers, sure, but by birth.
@@sleepyhead6023 Who went to Ayodhya Ram Temple in last week ? Wasn't that president .... Sir , Idk where are you from but try to see the reality ... Caste System was based on Profession not by birth ... But unfortunately , This caste system started acting such cowardly after 16th century ....
@@geopolitics8709 ohh, the ayodhya temple that the bjp built on demolishing babri mosque!!! well, the mosque was built in the first place by lower caste labourers in the 1500's (the 16th century); it was then demolished in 1992 (the 20th century) by pre the dominantly lower caste cadre of the vhp and other sangh parivar organizations at the command of the organizations' predominantly brahmin (upper most caste) leadership. in fact bhanwar meghvanshi, an ex cadre member and present day ambedkarite even wrote a book titled, 'why i could not be a hindu', talking of his experiences with the rss and sangh parivar in general. and with the 'idk where you are from' point, it looks like even your scoundrel self has found its last refuge in patriotism. so, sure, caste is NOT a division of labour with different professions being different castes, it IS a division of labourers with different castes being ordained for different occupations by birth.

Only u guys calling them untouchables. In India we don't call them by that name.
Caste system is monopoly game of brahmins...get the resources preserve it and pass on to next generation.
What a great interview, guys! 1h have fly by. So well conducted and the answers where so raw, but also with such a bright and real perspective that I can't find other better word to describe than INSPIRING!! From the other part os the world I felt compelled to support such cause to have a program to support creating more opportunities for Dalit and other outcast communities. Again congratulations to Asian Boss for the Great content!
What he said is eye opening..
Suraj is the great person for India but so called upper cast hate him.
His description of his childhood and his gang leader past is the same story everywhere in the world ... definitely in the U.S.

First the cutoffs for general category are super high to get admissions & if somehow they manage, they pay fees in lakhs, while others pay in hundreds.
Concept of Right to Equality seems like a joke.
