Dr. David Reich is a geneticist at Harvard. Check out his 2010 Nature paper, "Reconstructing Indian Population History," to learn about the research he's discussing here in depth. I learned a lot from my conversation with him, where we explored this topic and many others in greater depth. I highly recommend watching the full episode, which you can find linked above the title or on my channel!
Rigved never mentioned caste system. It's the varnas which means categorization of professions. It's true that caste system exists till date but it's not in the ancient texts of Hinduism. Please do correct.

It’s actually crazy how the caste system affected every single facet of Indian civilization all the way up to today. There are lots of particular cultural phenomena that are similarly old and influential but few so all encompassing in their consequences.
@@HumanBeingsRThinkingBeingsIn India, it was mentioned in 1-2 books, but if you look at history,they didn't follow those books. Maybe for 200-400 recent years it was followed for in some places
Caste is a Portuguese word and so are its practices foisted upon Indians. Varna vyavastha is native to this civilization and that is based on profession and action. Funny fact- dowry is also a thing of the west...

@@whis3594ah yes, the guy who has a doctorate from Oxford for the study in genetics is wrong, but you a nobody without any phd or Oxford education is probably right 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Indians have the highest rate of cousin marriages in the world, and it has been known for decades that inbreeding brings genetic diseases and leads to the accumulation of harmful genes, so it's pretty bad. On the other hand, high caste Indians created this system in order to concentrate their political or economic power, as did the kings of Europe and the ancient dynasties in East Asia.
So, he just explained how Indian genetics becomes stagnant because of their ongoing racism and casteism where Indians don't marry outside of their race and they don't marry outside of their caste.

Yeah even the texts say it could happen in GUPTA period , but in early VEDIC period the mix was normal. There is a hymn in RigVeda that suggests that caste was not hereditary by birth but it later became very rigid at the end of later Vedic period . But it's useless in current scenario and rather pulling the society away from greater good it should be totally abondoned
Layman's terms: The DNA is a gradient pattern across India from north to south dividing into two main ancestral branches on each end. Think of gradients like concentration. Like dropping something into a cup of water without stirring it. Example: Salt in water, sugar in water, dye in water. The concentration is not consistent through the cup. The DNA changes in sequence patterns from north to south like gradient concentrations. The DNA patterns slowly change. Unlike most countries where the DNA is like a stirred cup and concentration is equal throughout the water. The DNA sequences are the same throughout a region unless gene flow is restricted. Example: France would be colored solid Green for its DNA sampling. India would be Blue at top and Red at the bottom with Purples in the middle due to the gradient changing/overlapping. The caste system set this gradient in place instead of India being colored in as solid purple. Hopefully that helps. As for all the ignorant comments. Please don't be that person. Please don't project your lack of understanding on Central Asians/Indians. Its a giant country with lots of cultural diversity and a rich history. Thank you.

This is very interesting, but I want to hear Reich talk about the genetic data on Ashkenazi Jews. He was part of a group that published a study in 2022 in which they came up with a model suggesting Ashkenazis were approximately 65% Southern Italian, 19% Middle Eastern, and 16% Eastern European. If this is accurate it means the Ashkenazis, who are the founders and dominant class in modern Israel, are not even Semites--they are White Europeans, which is exactly what they look like.
You are 100% correct. The palestinians and arabs would be semitic, but the ashkenazi jews, who invented the term to protect themselves from criticism (jews who say they are, but are not, and do lie). Jewish has nothing to do with anything that they say. It meant Judean, and it suggested that if you were jew, from Judea, then you would follow the laws of Judea, being Yahwehism or the belief in God the father, creator of all things. However, they do not follow the will of God, but of their father the devil.
This is actually quite right. If you ever come to India, while travelling from one state to another, you will notice that people look different in different states.
It was the same in the uk or France before people were pushed to go fine jobs in the cities. Its still possible today to distinguish people from the north or South but less and less unfortunately and its worst with the mixity propaganda
It's a bit like the rich man isn't allowed to marry the poor woman because they are from two different classes. The two main areas of India who have different ancestry belong to different classes and have therefore not intermarried much at all. This means their, I guess a sort of nationality/ancestry, have remained mostly distinct and separate, rather than merging over time. I don't have a solid understanding of the caste system in India so this could he a bit off, but it's my understanding. I guess, it's a bit like in Malaysia. The three main cultures are Malay, Indian and Chinese. You don't see many malay people who are mixed because they generally only marry malay people. So the three cultures can literally be seen by their features in the one country. This is obviously not meant to be racist in any way and is simplifying the situation to the extreme. Hopefully someone who knows more than me will come along and explain better :)
Also not studied history. You try rationally organizing that many people in ancient times with that environment and see if you can do better. You’d be a slave in no time.

How is it "inhuman". In India Lower castes get reserved seats in Colleges and jobs and get promotion OVER other people. They so get free education, healthcare and food. You know nothing.
How's the mere existence of different communities inhumane? It's rather like saying the mere existence of other religions is i$lamophobia. That's a stupid ass argument
Coz the fella he was talking to had that surname. Don't listen to these paid people. Science is a scam... the are paid or get grants and make up sjit to get more money and grants It's all pretty pointless.
Patel is (commonly used to be, still in use, though not as much) a job title in villages. There are Muslim Patels, Patels of 'high' and 'low' castes, a few Sikh Patels, even.
Also because "Patel's" in general don't care about caste system anymore and Marry for love... They do follow Hindu religion in any part of the world but more care about CASTE in particular... GUJJU's care about business more...😅
In earlier system it was just based on jobs.. like farmers and military men.. white collar workers and blue collar workers. They were free to move from one profession to another. Sadly power corrupts. That's universally true. The thing that happens in all. Will you call the King Queen's Duke Duchess and Miltary ranking of the world as caste system.. it should be its essentially royals and non royals.. It definitely became an extremely bad thing in the later centuries. Lots of people suffered. The way it became was not what it was ment for.
Not true. They weren't free to move, to mix etc.. which is exactly the point of this video. About 2000-3000 years ago, the mixing stopped almost completely as the caste system became more rigid
The distinction between royals and peasants is basically a cast system, yes. The point is that there aren't very many royals and all the peasant were in the same cast and thus mixed. While everybody in India was (is) in a cast system, with multiple casts much bigger than any royal cast anywhere else and the casts don't mix much.
@@4203105 big difference is that there is scriptural support for the caste system in Hinduism with the rebirth cycles and karma from your previous births affecting the caste that you are born into in subsequent births.. this is a concept not found in religions such as Christianity, Islam, zorastrianism etc
Caste system has been waning gradually. A large majority of my friends and family have married across castes and across geographies. Yes, I agree we urban folks do not represent majority, but no change happens overnight. While there is some value in analyzing past, it becomes more valuable when you use it to change the regressive practices. And, change is happening.
So basically is: You are low class (caste), you are only allowed to marry low class. If you are high class you are allowed to marry high class. Hence, if you are born poor, you are condemned to be poor for the rest of your life.
No... U messed up CASTE with CLASS... not the same.. even if u r rich but belong to lower caste, there is less possibility that a marriage will take place with a person from High Caste even if poor.
@@iishikaa_18 I just said you can't work your way out of the caste system and it is about skin color. The Darker people are at the bottom and deemed inferior to lighter Indians.
The birth based caste system is different from the occupation based system. The vedas and ancient texts only refer to the occupation based system, as there are only 4 divisions, while there are thousands of castes in the prevalent birth based caste system.
Nobody gives a damn about your lame apology. Fact is Caste System is PRACTICED as a hereditary rule, not as an occupation based rule. And what is practiced is what matters. Now go back and figure out why low caste Hindus converted into Islam by droves.
Rigveda has the Varna system and the varna system is just simple social stratification based on occupation , the varna just depicting occupation and nothing else really . The varna system transitioned into a rigid caste system much later on after the Vadic-era ( or as you foreign folk call it indus valley civilisation era ) .
It's simply social stratification at first, which was exploited and is still being exploited by the upper caste people. The varna/caste system only works in theory, just like communism. It's never practical and it's a horrible idea, no matter how much u try to cover it up.
there was no Vedic age during Indus Valley Civilisation!! Seems like the 21st century Hindus discovered the actually meaning of the varna system, let’s go to the temples and ask the so called gurus what is the cast system and how the Hindus of the past understood it.
@@abdulrahman9ethere was no Abraham at the time of indus valley civilisation care to ask so called preachers why they invented their ancestors when they didn't exist in the first place
Truly said. The quality of Varna has been very clearly laid out - it's as per one's own guna or mindset. So Varna is very clearly the mindset on which one selects an occupation. It has been clarified by several great gurus over several centuries and millennia, yet ignorance has largely set in the society. Can't blame ignorance, it's the gift of time.
Rig veda is not caste system but the division of labor. Anyone can move up or down depending of your ability. Parsuram was a brahmin and he stept down to the warrior class . Valmakie was a laborer and he became a brahmin. He wrote the Ramayan. 😊

I didn't feel the same with other asian faces like thai, Phillipines etc. maybe it was cause of the pictures available on Google of Mongolian people are very tribal history type which is what I expect when I search arunachal people...

The topic being discussed here touches on population genetics, specifically the structure of the Indian population in light of the human genome. I hope this video encourages you to think critically and beyond just absorbing knowledge. We need to expand our understanding and challenge certain outdated beliefs. The caste system, a social construct, can be observed at the genetic level in the Indian population. If you're familiar with the basics of DNA, you know it's made up of four molecules, or "letters," A, T, G, and C. The arrangement of these letters forms our genome. As humans, we have 3 billion base pairs of this code that make us who we are. Incredibly, all humans are 99.9% genetically identical to one another. This fact alone should make us realize that we are not as different as we might think-we are a single species. Dividing people by caste, religion, or even borders is unnecessary; these divisions serve primarily as administrative conveniences. Consider this: the genetic similarity between humans and chimpanzees is around 98-99%. We have 46 chromosomes, while chimpanzees have 48. Our chromosome 2 originated from the fusion of two ancestral chromosomes, corresponding to chromosomes 2a and 2b in chimpanzees. This demonstrates our close evolutionary relationship. We share a common ancestor with chimpanzees from about 6 million years ago. Many species of human-like ancestors lived from that time until now. Contrary to what religious texts suggest, Homo sapiens-our species-appeared on Earth about 300,000 years ago. You can verify this yourself by checking scientific literature. We have fossil evidence, and more importantly, we have genetic evidence, which is studied through phylogenetics and phylogenomics. What I want you to take away from this is that we are just another species-Homo sapiens-like any other animal. Many other Homo species, like Neanderthals and Denisovans, lived alongside us but went extinct. Before them, species like Homo erectus and Homo habilis existed. We are just animals who, through evolutionary pressures, developed an advanced brain. This allowed us to survive by cooperating in large numbers, imagining things that don't exist, and creating shared stories and beliefs. However, don't mistake this for superiority. We simply evolved a specific trait that helped us survive. Just like cheetahs are fast, parrots can see more shades of green than we can, and eels navigate using the Earth's magnetic field. All living things are connected by the same four DNA letters-A, T, G, and C. To conclude: We are a species that developed agriculture only about 10,000 years ago, which transformed our culture and population growth. With agriculture came the development of languages, religions, borders, and even money. Keep in mind that all these are fictional realities created by our evolved brain over time. Our brain, while intelligent, is also wired with biases that make us blindly believe and confirm certain ideas, including religious beliefs. This happens because our brain is designed to seek patterns, find agents, and introspect. We were intelligent even during the Stone Age, but without science, we created worldviews based on religion. It's hard to make everyone think this way because people tend to resist anything that challenges their beliefs. I’m not here to debate, but rather to share a perspective. Take a moment to reflect on it and come to your own conclusions.
Your information is outdated. Based on the latest genetic research humans did not evolve from one human species and definitely do not have a common relative with chimpanzees. It also revealed a lot about Indian casts in genetic terms and shattered world wide beliefs about the connection between human evolution and development of agriculture.

Caste isn't even one thing, it can be your clan, ancestry, profession, literally any identity you had was called caste under british census. And he is wrong when he says caste is the reason for genetic gradient.Endogamy became a thing in India only after 3rd century CE. For some reason which is not clear. And The reason patels have higher central Asian DNA could be because alot of business communities of Gujarat, patels being one of them lived in Central Asia before they were kicked out under soviet Union.
@@updownleftrightasdw8423The first to mix with the Indians were the Iranian farmers, the first Indian or Harappan civilization, is 65% Iranian farmers and 35% AASI, the Harappans were ANI. The Harappans mixed with the AASI Dravidians, and gave rise to the ASI. The Harappans continued to mix with Central Asian peoples who had IndoEuropean DNA, forming the DNA of the North Indians.
@@adarshsingh6313 VARNA = colour/ physical form. So naturally the APARTHEID frozen from 2-3000 years ago would have an increased probability of lighter phenotypes among the twice born, compared to the indigenous aboriginals. The systemic PRIVILEGES according to the racial hierarchy of the VARNASHRAMA would percolate down to the cultural sphere. Even today, BOLLYWOOD & the 3% ruling elite & colourist has cultural hegemony, except for the odd swallow. Marriage markets are an illustration of this bargaining of the scales. A darker Brahmin is worth far more than his equivalent darker Dalit. Countless invasions from outside, irrespective of faith have entrenched this culture of Aryanist supremacism.
No lol, stop imposing your dumb race politics on South Asia. Caste is all about SOCIAL discrimination, not the way one looks. You could be the lightest person ever, but if you're from a disadvantaged caste, then you will face discrimination. Similarly, if you're very dark, but from upper caste, then you will be praised/treated in high regard. The colour based discrimination is a totally different thing, which is related to colonialism in the subcontinent. And also modern media telling people to prefer light skin, globally.
Number of people mistaking caste with class is concerning. According to vedas we have four castes. Brahmins,Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and Shudras. Although it goes way beyond 2000-3000 years. He is talking about genetics. It takes ages for genes to modify and there are multiple reasons that happen. Example: if there are 400 different individuals (each caste 100). People could marry within those 100individuals. Over the years since this process continued there were cases where inbreeding occurred without even noticing. People would not marry anyone from other state or even other culture within same caste and state. So the number is very limited. In fact we also have sub castes which is much smaller group within each castes. Another reason for genetics to be stagnant is obviously because the gene pool remained contained within the community.
Stop calling these merchants White people. They are a separate haplogroup from any European man.

Recessive genes in pale people can't withstand the very energy source of Earth, not for very long at least without being penalized with skin cancer.

Rigveda has no mention of a rigid caste system, caste system's earliest instance come in mauryan empire and the caste system which was rigid and oppressive it was formed during gupta's
Do you understand how having two different things mix gets you something that's an equal mix of both stuff in one? You'd expect that to happen in India because the north and south is different, and they were marrying each other. But the caste class system and culture prevents this to happen quickly. So instead of getting a population that has a well mixed traits from both north and south India, what happens is like pouring syrup into water and, instead of stirring it, you wait for the thick syrup to dissolve slowly into the water around it. It should look like there's a fading of color from the transparent water above, slowly picking up the colour of the syrup as you trace it down near where the dense syrup sits at the bottom.
He's saying the population segregated themselves by marriage while living on the same land. In America, while slavery was active, there was significant mixing of race due to slave traffickers forcing themselves on victims, to the point where they had to make laws legally defining how much genetic mixture there needs to be for a child to be considered of a different race (50/50 European and African was legally "black", all the way down to 80/20, it was called the "Just one drop" laws, as in "just one drop of African blood makes you legally black"). You could have blond hair, blue eyes, and pale skin, but legally be considered "black" and kept in slavery, or discriminated against by right of law, both before and after the fall of chattel slavery (many laws were invented explicitly to target black men in order to imprison them, the only legally enshrined slavery still allowed in the USA, look it up). If that trend had continued, almost all decendants of Africans in North America would be paler than Zendaya by this point, without the constant influx of hundreds of thousands of kidnapped Africans every year. But after slavery ended, former traffickers no longer had unfettered access to black women, and black men suspected of even glancing at a white woman were lynched (literally, look it up) and interracial marriage was banned by law. There was a sudden halt to natural genetic mixing by putting a literal death sentence on people for engaging in consensual relationships, while failing to punish certain people for continuing to force non-consensual relationships on others, but making sure that society mistreats the victims thereof. It took until the 70s, I believe, to decriminalize interracial marriage across all States. Maybe even later. Now suddenly we're seeing a lot more mixed race people and conservatives are shocked and appalled we're making choices based on individuals not based on racial monoliths.

In the state Tamil Nadu, they abolished the use of caste name as the surname. So, currently they use their father's name as surname.

Basically gujaratis are like bees, they work in communities. So when you see a patel or a desai or a panchal etc etc in any foreign country there's a good chance that they already have relatives/close friends there if not that then there's a good chance that in coming years when they become permanent citizen of that country they will come back to india and marry the person of their community and bring them back to abroad (mostly in case of men) or their parents will use their contacts to find a person of their community who is already settled there (there is good chance of them finding one sooner than any of you can find a partner😂) Also they are family oriented so they keep calling their parents/grandparents to them, sometimes even settle with them so mostly you'll find alot of gujaratis of same surname in a particular area of a foreign country.

In the Rigveda, there is a reference to the Varna Vyavastha (caste system) in the Purusha Sukta (Rigveda 10.90). This hymn talks about the cosmic being (Purusha) from whose body the four varnas (classes) were created. The relevant verse is: ब्राह्मणोऽस्य मुखमासीद् बाहू राजन्यः कृतः। ऊरू तदस्य यद्वैश्यः पद्भ्यां शूद्रो अजायत।। 4 varn 1. Brahmin (priest) 2.Rajanya (warrior) 3.vaishya (merchant) 4.shudra (Labour) They are varn and interchangeable.

During picture day at my high school, the Principal would call down people in alphabetical order over the intercom. When he got to P though, he would first call down everyone with the last name “Patel” and then the rest of the Ps separately because there were too many. This is in Canada btw.
The last name 'Patel' thing can be highly innacurate,like people with surname 'Patel' may not be from Gujrat lest ingage in buisness,in India or own a motel when they move to US. Not to forget how two communities with same surnames may have different status in different regions of the country. I am from Uttar Pradesh,my family also uses the 'Patel' surname as you can see but I also use the 'Singh' surname,my caste or subcaste consists of people who own their land and are farmers by profession. Considering surnames as to indentify communities or lineage can be highly incorrect as many my relatives even in my extended family may not use the surname 'Patel',but instead use the surname 'Singh',which is also used by some of the upper castes.

The further mixing of two different populations of Indian stopped 3000 years as the cast system was introduced. Resulting in a frozen picture of a population as it existed at the introduction of the cast system.
@@gideonros2705there was no such thing as caste 3000 years ago😂 Also castes were spread throughout india, if what he says is true, then there should be differences among different castes but homogenousness in the caste itself. We don't find that either.
Over time people from different regions of a country will get married and their genetic DNA will mix great a new population of genetically diverse people. In India, what happens naturally when people move closer to each other and the population grows stopped about 2-3 thousand years ago because the caste system was introduced. So instead of mix marriages, people stayed within their ethnic groups: North and South. So you don’t see generic variety. He used France as the example because people are so mixed because there weren’t such defined ethnic categorizations placed on them so it becomes hard to separate people genetically they are a blend. Whereas India is a “gradient” there is clear distinction breaks in the population people. If the caste system was truly abolished, not only by law but in real life practices, then this will change over time. Sadly, while illegal the Caste System is still practiced in some parts of India.

The caste system is a british colonial imposition. India has Varna system which was based solely on occupation, NOT birth. And you would change your caste if you changed your occupation. The word caste is a Spanish word.
Disagreed, Caste is a word from Portuguese origin which meant race, breed, family. There's is no caste system in Indian texts, ancient Indians had 'varna' system, which basically classifies individuals into four categories based on their inclination towards work based on their own body, mind and energy composition.

There was no caste system in the rig Vedic age. The word “caste” came from the Portuguese word “Casta”. They created the caste system which is still haunting India.
Hi ‘Restricted gene flow’ is what happened for the first time at the confusion of tongues event at the Tower of Babel, which caused the small language based ‘Gene Pools’ to become distinct ethnic groups as they bred only within their lingual group!
Caste system was never intended for marriages. It was purely for recording the job one did back in days. Its the feeling of keeping to ones community and living style they started marrying in same caste.
I worked with a Patel in the USA (she was British but had lots of family in India.) She was 26 and was being pushed to marry another Patel (arranged marriage)...seemed weird to me.

Sir who you are. I call you sir because you deserve that. You have a higher perspective and can see yourself what I always tell.
Layman's terms:
The DNA is a gradient pattern across India from north to south dividing into two main ancestral branches on each end. Think of gradients like concentration. Like dropping something into a cup of water without stirring it. Example: Salt in water, sugar in water, dye in water. The concentration is not consistent through the cup.
The DNA changes in sequence patterns from north to south like gradient concentrations. The DNA patterns slowly change.
Unlike most countries where the DNA is like a stirred cup and concentration is equal throughout the water. The DNA sequences are the same throughout a region unless gene flow is restricted.
Example: France would be colored solid Green for its DNA sampling. India would be Blue at top and Red at the bottom with Purples in the middle due to the gradient changing/overlapping.
The caste system set this gradient in place instead of India being colored in as solid purple.
Hopefully that helps.

This is very interesting, but I want to hear Reich talk about the genetic data on Ashkenazi Jews.
He was part of a group that published a study in 2022 in which they came up with a model suggesting Ashkenazis were approximately 65% Southern Italian, 19% Middle Eastern, and 16% Eastern European.
If this is accurate it means the Ashkenazis, who are the founders and dominant class in modern Israel, are not even Semites--they are White Europeans, which is exactly what they look like.
You are 100% correct. The palestinians and arabs would be semitic, but the ashkenazi jews, who invented the term to protect themselves from criticism (jews who say they are, but are not, and do lie). Jewish has nothing to do with anything that they say. It meant Judean, and it suggested that if you were jew, from Judea, then you would follow the laws of Judea, being Yahwehism or the belief in God the father, creator of all things. However, they do not follow the will of God, but of their father the devil.
This is actually quite right. If you ever come to India, while travelling from one state to another, you will notice that people look different in different states.
It was the same in the uk or France before people were pushed to go fine jobs in the cities. Its still possible today to distinguish people from the north or South but less and less unfortunately and its worst with the mixity propaganda

Everything boils to intercaste marriages are not happening in India
Are u stupid?
It's a bit like the rich man isn't allowed to marry the poor woman because they are from two different classes. The two main areas of India who have different ancestry belong to different classes and have therefore not intermarried much at all. This means their, I guess a sort of nationality/ancestry, have remained mostly distinct and separate, rather than merging over time.
I don't have a solid understanding of the caste system in India so this could he a bit off, but it's my understanding.
I guess, it's a bit like in Malaysia. The three main cultures are Malay, Indian and Chinese. You don't see many malay people who are mixed because they generally only marry malay people. So the three cultures can literally be seen by their features in the one country.
This is obviously not meant to be racist in any way and is simplifying the situation to the extreme.

In earlier system it was just based on jobs.. like farmers and military men.. white collar workers and blue collar workers. They were free to move from one profession to another. Sadly power corrupts. That's universally true. The thing that happens in all. Will you call the King Queen's Duke Duchess and Miltary ranking of the world as caste system.. it should be its essentially royals and non royals.. It definitely became an extremely bad thing in the later centuries. Lots of people suffered. The way it became was not what it was ment for.
Not true. They weren't free to move, to mix etc.. which is exactly the point of this video. About 2000-3000 years ago, the mixing stopped almost completely as the caste system became more rigid
The distinction between royals and peasants is basically a cast system, yes. The point is that there aren't very many royals and all the peasant were in the same cast and thus mixed. While everybody in India was (is) in a cast system, with multiple casts much bigger than any royal cast anywhere else and the casts don't mix much.
@@4203105 big difference is that there is scriptural support for the caste system in Hinduism with the rebirth cycles and karma from your previous births affecting the caste that you are born into in subsequent births.. this is a concept not found in religions such as Christianity, Islam, zorastrianism etc

Caste system has been waning gradually. A large majority of my friends and family have married across castes and across geographies. Yes, I agree we urban folks do not represent majority, but no change happens overnight. While there is some value in analyzing past, it becomes more valuable when you use it to change the regressive practices. And, change is happening.
So basically is: You are low class (caste), you are only allowed to marry low class. If you are high class you are allowed to marry high class. Hence, if you are born poor, you are condemned to be poor for the rest of your life.
No... U messed up CASTE with CLASS... not the same.. even if u r rich but belong to lower caste, there is less possibility that a marriage will take place with a person from High Caste even if poor.

Nobody gives a damn about your lame apology. Fact is Caste System is PRACTICED as a hereditary rule, not as an occupation based rule. And what is practiced is what matters. Now go back and figure out why low caste Hindus converted into Islam by droves.
It is called Varna...it is a very bad translation by english as caste system.
Who cares. Discrimination based on caste exists, so ... stop caste. Other countries are developing without talking about it l.
Sure, now go and marry outside of your caste and see how you'll be expelled out of your society.
Rigveda has the Varna system and the varna system is just simple social stratification based on occupation , the varna just depicting occupation and nothing else really . The varna system transitioned into a rigid caste system much later on after the Vadic-era ( or as you foreign folk call it indus valley civilisation era ) .
It's simply social stratification at first, which was exploited and is still being exploited by the upper caste people. The varna/caste system only works in theory, just like communism. It's never practical and it's a horrible idea, no matter how much u try to cover it up.
there was no Vedic age during Indus Valley Civilisation!! Seems like the 21st century Hindus discovered the actually meaning of the varna system, let’s go to the temples and ask the so called gurus what is the cast system and how the Hindus of the past understood it.
@@abdulrahman9ethere was no Abraham at the time of indus valley civilisation care to ask so called preachers why they invented their ancestors when they didn't exist in the first place
Truly said. The quality of Varna has been very clearly laid out - it's as per one's own guna or mindset. So Varna is very clearly the mindset on which one selects an occupation. It has been clarified by several great gurus over several centuries and millennia, yet ignorance has largely set in the society. Can't blame ignorance, it's the gift of time.

To those watching this video about casteism:
The topic being discussed here touches on population genetics, specifically the structure of the Indian population in light of the human genome. I hope this video encourages you to think critically and beyond just absorbing knowledge. We need to expand our understanding and challenge certain outdated beliefs.
The caste system, a social construct, can be observed at the genetic level in the Indian population. If you're familiar with the basics of DNA, you know it's made up of four molecules, or "letters," A, T, G, and C. The arrangement of these letters forms our genome. As humans, we have 3 billion base pairs of this code that make us who we are. Incredibly, all humans are 99.9% genetically identical to one another. This fact alone should make us realize that we are not as different as we might think-we are a single species. Dividing people by caste, religion, or even borders is unnecessary; these divisions serve primarily as administrative conveniences.
Consider this: the genetic similarity between humans and chimpanzees is around 98-99%. We have 46 chromosomes, while chimpanzees have 48. Our chromosome 2 originated from the fusion of two ancestral chromosomes, corresponding to chromosomes 2a and 2b in chimpanzees. This demonstrates our close evolutionary relationship. We share a common ancestor with chimpanzees from about 6 million years ago.
Many species of human-like ancestors lived from that time until now. Contrary to what religious texts suggest, Homo sapiens-our species-appeared on Earth about 300,000 years ago. You can verify this yourself by checking scientific literature. We have fossil evidence, and more importantly, we have genetic evidence, which is studied through phylogenetics and phylogenomics.
What I want you to take away from this is that we are just another species-Homo sapiens-like any other animal. Many other Homo species, like Neanderthals and Denisovans, lived alongside us but went extinct. Before them, species like Homo erectus and Homo habilis existed. We are just animals who, through evolutionary pressures, developed an advanced brain. This allowed us to survive by cooperating in large numbers, imagining things that don't exist, and creating shared stories and beliefs.
However, don't mistake this for superiority. We simply evolved a specific trait that helped us survive. Just like cheetahs are fast, parrots can see more shades of green than we can, and eels navigate using the Earth's magnetic field. All living things are connected by the same four DNA letters-A, T, G, and C.
To conclude: We are a species that developed agriculture only about 10,000 years ago, which transformed our culture and population growth. With agriculture came the development of languages, religions, borders, and even money. Keep in mind that all these are fictional realities created by our evolved brain over time. Our brain, while intelligent, is also wired with biases that make us blindly believe and confirm certain ideas, including religious beliefs. This happens because our brain is designed to seek patterns, find agents, and introspect.
We were intelligent even during the Stone Age, but without science, we created worldviews based on religion. It's hard to make everyone think this way because people tend to resist anything that challenges their beliefs. I’m not here to debate, but rather to share a perspective. Take a moment to reflect on it and come to your own conclusions.
Your information is outdated. Based on the latest genetic research humans did not evolve from one human species and definitely do not have a common relative with chimpanzees. It also revealed a lot about Indian casts in genetic terms and shattered world wide beliefs about the connection between human evolution and development of agriculture.
Ugly people to the bottom

No, a black person of high caste will be respected more by other high caste than a low caste person of light skin color
@@adarshsingh6313 VARNA = colour/ physical form. So naturally the APARTHEID frozen from 2-3000 years ago would have an increased probability of lighter phenotypes among the twice born, compared to the indigenous aboriginals.
The systemic PRIVILEGES according to the racial hierarchy of the VARNASHRAMA would percolate down to the cultural sphere.
Even today, BOLLYWOOD & the 3% ruling elite & colourist has cultural hegemony, except for the odd swallow. Marriage markets are an illustration of this bargaining of the scales. A darker Brahmin is worth far more than his equivalent darker Dalit.
Countless invasions from outside, irrespective of faith have entrenched this culture of Aryanist supremacism.

No lol, stop imposing your dumb race politics on South Asia. Caste is all about SOCIAL discrimination, not the way one looks. You could be the lightest person ever, but if you're from a disadvantaged caste, then you will face discrimination.
Similarly, if you're very dark, but from upper caste, then you will be praised/treated in high regard.
The colour based discrimination is a totally different thing, which is related to colonialism in the subcontinent. And also modern media telling people to prefer light skin, globally.

Number of people mistaking caste with class is concerning.
According to vedas we have four castes. Brahmins,Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and Shudras. Although it goes way beyond 2000-3000 years. He is talking about genetics. It takes ages for genes to modify and there are multiple reasons that happen. Example: if there are 400 different individuals (each caste 100). People could marry within those 100individuals. Over the years since this process continued there were cases where inbreeding occurred without even noticing. People would not marry anyone from other state or even other culture within same caste and state. So the number is very limited. In fact we also have sub castes which is much smaller group within each castes. Another reason for genetics to be stagnant is obviously because the gene pool remained contained within the community.
I read the whole Rigveda, couldn’t find the caste system. But indians would believe this white man because he looks intelligent
Stop calling these merchants White people. They are a separate haplogroup from any European man. Be grateful these people dont look enough like you that they can blend in and destroy you from the inside, like they have done to us.

Recessive genes in pale people can't withstand the very energy source of Earth, not for very long at least without being penalized with skin cancer.
Darker skin tones are simply more suitable for adaptability in all of the worlds environments. Our skin age less and appear healthy over the years. Pale people age quickly, these are all basic truths.

He stopped making sense to me after the second sentence. I watched the video 3 times and didn't understand a word.
Do you understand how having two different things mix gets you something that's an equal mix of both stuff in one? You'd expect that to happen in India because the north and south is different, and they were marrying each other. But the caste class system and culture prevents this to happen quickly. So instead of getting a population that has a well mixed traits from both north and south India, what happens is like pouring syrup into water and, instead of stirring it, you wait for the thick syrup to dissolve slowly into the water around it. It should look like there's a fading of color from the transparent water above, slowly picking up the colour of the syrup as you trace it down near where the dense syrup sits at the bottom.
He's saying the population segregated themselves by marriage while living on the same land.
In America, while slavery was active, there was significant mixing of race due to slave traffickers forcing themselves on victims, to the point where they had to make laws legally defining how much genetic mixture there needs to be for a child to be considered of a different race (50/50 European and African was legally "black", all the way down to 80/20, it was called the "Just one drop" laws, as in "just one drop of African blood makes you legally black"). You could have blond hair, blue eyes, and pale skin, but legally be considered "black" and kept in slavery, or discriminated against by right of law, both before and after the fall of chattel slavery (many laws were invented explicitly to target black men in order to imprison them, the only legally enshrined slavery still allowed in the USA, look it up).
If that trend had continued, almost all decendants of Africans in North America would be paler than Zendaya by this point, without the constant influx of hundreds of thousands of kidnapped Africans every year. But after slavery ended, former traffickers no longer had unfettered access to black women, and black men suspected of even glancing at a white woman were lynched (literally, look it up) and interracial marriage was banned by law.
There was a sudden halt to natural genetic mixing by putting a literal death sentence on people for engaging in consensual relationships, while failing to punish certain people for continuing to force non-consensual relationships on others, but making sure that society mistreats the victims thereof.
It took until the 70s, I believe, to decriminalize interracial marriage across all States. Maybe even later. Now suddenly we're seeing a lot more mixed race people and conservatives are shocked and appalled we're making choices based on individuals not based on racial monoliths.

In the state Tamil Nadu, they abolished the use of caste name as the surname. So, currently they use their father's name as surname.

Basically gujaratis are like bees, they work in communities.

The Rigveda has made it clear caste by birth was not followed. It developed in the later Vedic ages (There are 4 vedas)
It developed to divide people so they won't question the authority of so called higher castes of kings and priests.
But manusmriti enforced it eh
In the Rigveda, there is a reference to the Varna Vyavastha (caste system) in the Purusha Sukta (Rigveda 10.90). This hymn talks about the cosmic being (Purusha) from whose body the four varnas (classes) were created. The relevant verse is:
ब्राह्मणोऽस्य मुखमासीद् बाहू राजन्यः कृतः।
ऊरू तदस्य यद्वैश्यः पद्भ्यां शूद्रो अजायत।।
4 varn
1. Brahmin (priest)
2.Rajanya (warrior)
3.vaishya (merchant)
4.shudra (Labour)
They are varn and interchangeable.

During picture day at my high school, the Principal would call down people in alphabetical order over the intercom. When he got to P though, he would first call down everyone with the last name “Patel” and then the rest of the Ps separately because there were too many.
This is in Canada btw.
The last name 'Patel' thing can be highly innacurate,like people with surname 'Patel' may not be from Gujrat lest ingage in buisness,in India or own a motel when they move to US.
Not to forget how two communities with same surnames may have different status in different regions of the country.
I am from Uttar Pradesh,my family also uses the 'Patel' surname as you can see but I also use the 'Singh' surname,my caste or subcaste consists of people who own their land and are farmers by profession.
Considering surnames as to indentify communities or lineage can be highly incorrect as many my relatives even in my extended family may not use the surname 'Patel',but instead use the surname 'Singh',which is also used by some of the upper castes.

Also castes were spread throughout india, if what he says is true, then there should be differences among different castes but homogenousness in the caste itself.
We don't find that either.
Over time people from different regions of a country will get married and their genetic DNA will mix great a new population of genetically diverse people. In India, what happens naturally when people move closer to each other and the population grows stopped about 2-3 thousand years ago because the caste system was introduced. So instead of mix marriages, people stayed within their ethnic groups: North and South. So you don’t see generic variety. He used France as the example because people are so mixed because there weren’t such defined ethnic categorizations placed on them so it becomes hard to separate people genetically they are a blend. Whereas India is a “gradient” there is clear distinction breaks in the population people. If the caste system was truly abolished, not only by law but in real life practices, then this will change over time. Sadly, while illegal the Caste System is still practiced in some parts of India.
