Caste and Hinduism Explained

  • The issue of Caste is the most common critique of Hinduism. The injustice of different sections of society has been used to paint Santhana Dharma as an ancient evil cult.
    But how much of this can be really pinned on religious ideas and how much is just about centuries of social development?
    This video honestly explores and explains the origins of caste within Hindu scripture and culture, and how these ideas have been developed and misused. It also outlines the other different factors which have allowed birth based discrimination to flourish in India.
    Finally it paints the way forward explaining that Hinduism, unlike other religions, has the philosophy to easily transcend old ideas and move with the times. As a result Sanathana Dharma is a tradition that can not only survive caste but thrive without it, especially in a modern context.

      There are a lot of RICH so called "backward caste/class" ..while they obviously say they don't believe in the "caste system", but love to declare their caste on documents and paper work to gain benefits from the government!! I have seen instances where a person of poor socioeconomic status..who happens to be a brahmin has to work really hard & study well and have high marks percentage.. and still be denied job opportunity and given so someone from the "backward class" in the name of reservation! ..many a time..since the "backward castes" have reservations..they don't bother studying that hard anyway and still getting jobs with less qualifications. I'm not saying all are like this.. but I have seen these situations. The caste system should be erased along with the reservations based of this "caste system". People should be recognised based only on their hard work, merit and qualifications.

    This was really well done, mate, and I think you made a brilliant point about the fact that Hinduism can easily move away from this caste-based discrimination practice. Sanatana Dharma is built around the concept of the unity of existence and the same consciousness pervading through all life. Caste-based discrimination is antithetical to core Hindu concepts, and thus, with a coherent, sustained effort, our culture can move away from this practice.

      @@johnnyboy9239 WHat you wrote is false. The caste division system was NOT given to you by the British. It was the nationalist Hindus who did made agreements with the British who gave control to the Brahmans because Brahmans got more power under the British. And the Brahmans reinforced the old caste system. In the process this also screwed the Muslims.
      The fact that it was not British who created the caste system is supported by the large number of Hindu Indians who converted to Islam during the Mughal period since Islam welcomed the people from lowest caste as more or less equal to other Muslim.
      What is even stranger, is that in your response to me, you write "nope its not", without specifying what you are referring to. What is not? Then you proceed to basically write text to ADVOCATE for the caste system, except you try to make it sound like it is not horrible.

      Well vedas rigveda gives definition of four varna, yajurveda mentions definition of chandal and nishadha which is proof of birth based varna system and discrimination, mahabharat has many stories about birth based varna system ( check what " sut" in sutputra karna means) , bhagwat Gita talks about paap yoni etc and says one must do work of varna he was born into no matter how bad he was at it, and never do work of other varna no matter how good he is at it, ....with this context all Gita is actually trying to implement birth based varna system and discrimination out of which caste system originated. So caste discrimination is a religious problem that needs to be addressed.

    Granted I'm not an expert, but from what I've read it seems like caste was originally meant to be more permeable, roughly equivalent to the class system in most western countries, where it's possible to move from one caste to another. It was, unsurprisingly corrupted to be used as a method of control.

      Frank Martin yes sir you're partially right. I'm a Hindu from India and I don't consider it as cast system but class system as our casts( Jati) are based on our works. Like I belong Jat community which is known for warfare and farming class. However those were my ancestors. I'm a lawyer myself which means I'm no more a Jat or Kshtriya but a Bhrahmin according to my profession.
      Bharhmin itself is a subjective word. Bhrahmin means a person who knows the Bharmha(God) which means a Sage. However Bharhmins were also responsible for giving laws and guiding society. They were teachers in ancient societies. Thus another aspect of Bhrahmin means lawyers, teachers, doctors, scientists and researchers etc.

      This is why Hindus will never be able to succeed much. You are still living in a state of mental slavery where you think you would not be able to something better than the next person. There is an absolute lack of self-confidence in Hindus today, the inferiority complex is at an all time high, despite the Prime Minister of India constantly reminding of what a great civilization India is and was. Your statement -- "a hindu by birth like I couldn't have put it together so well", while you meant it in a well intent, but it reflects the lack of any self-confidence in you, subconsciously. Why can't you put it together despite being born as an Hindu? If anything, you should be the one explaining this to others. What is it in specific that stops you from doing it? The lack of knowledge? Well everyone starts from 0. Lack of creativity? Well no one is born an artist, you have to hone your skills eventually. What is it that you can't overcome?
      You have to break free of this subconscious mental slavery sooner or later for Hindus to succeed or to claim back their spot as the greatest civilization the face of this planet has ever seen.
      Thanks.

      Well.. I think you over-analysed a bit into what I wrote. As a hindu by birth, I might have subconscious prejudices when speaking about jati - maybe everyone who grew up hindu in India does - which is why jati is a sensitive topic, bound to offend someone when one speaks about it in public. This video is obviously made by someone who doesn't belong to any jati and therefore and has provided an objective analysis on the subject that I couldn't have, if I tried. Also, the research that has gone into making this video is enormous - Not just the Bhagavadgeeta, Ramayana and mahabharata were quoted but also Srimadbhagavata - I don't know many people who've read it - who can quote from it. The detailed chart at 14:14 covers almost all points on jati and its evolution, I cannot think of a single point to add to it. Not all hindus have such extensive knowledge on the subject. It has nothing to do with mental slavery or lack of self confidence as such.

      Birth Based Caste is a superstitious system, however Varna was the original system, in Varna there was no upper or lower, people chose the work of which they are qualified for and according to Bhagavad Gita, anyone can be a Brahman (Teacher), Shatriya (Warrior), Vaishya (Trader), Shudra (Labor) based on knowledge and skills:
      🔹In Bhagavad Gita 4:13, Krishna says that he created different Varnas (Profession) on the basis of one's Karma (Activity) and Guna (Quality).
      🔹Bhagavad Gita 5:18 "The truly learned, with the eyes of divine knowledge, see with equal vision a Brahmin, a cow, an elephant, a dog, and a dog-eater"
      🔹Bhagavad Gita 9:29 "I am equally disposed to all living entities: there is neither friend nor foe to Me: but those who with living sentiments render divotional service unto Me, such persons are in Me and I am in them."
      🔹Bhagavad Gita 18:41 "The duties of the Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras are distributed in accordance with their guṇas (quality) and not by birth.
      Caste is a Spanish and Portuguese word 'casta' which stands for 'Breed' or 'lineage'.
      During earlier times Caste use to be Varna (Profession) and based on merit and not by birth, I can give you instances from the ancient times, where a so-called modern day "lower caste" moved to "upper caste", e.g. Guru Valmiki, Kabir Das was from a shudra family but became a brahmin based on merit, etc
      and btw Ravana was himself a Brahmin knowledgeable person from Northern India but because of his notorious activities he got punished by Rama (believed to be an OBC if we abide by caste categorization).
      Lastly, you have to understand the British motive behind imposing caste:
      The Caucasians (Europeans) created Hutus and Tutsis in Rwanda, Africa, to divide and control the native population, and for this reason, the Rwanda Genocide occurred.
      The same attempts and inequalities Europeans also tried to create amongst Indians by separating Northern India and Southern India into "Aryans" VS "Dravidians" and further dividing Hinduism into 3,000 castes and 25,000 sub-castes.
      And also read about Herbert Hope Risley who created casteism, racism in Indian society by one's facial features and skin color, and Bishop Robert Caldwell who propagated the "Aryan Invasion" in Southern India to convert "Dravidians" into Christianity.

      Well vedas rigveda gives definition of four varna, yajurveda mentions definition of chandal and nishadha which is proof of birth based varna system and discrimination, mahabharat has many stories about birth based varna system ( check what " sut" in sutputra karna means) , bhagwat Gita talks about paap yoni etc and says one must do work of varna he was born into no matter how bad he was at it, and never do work of other varna no matter how good he is at it, ....with this context all Gita is actually trying to implement birth based varna system and discrimination out of which caste system originated. So caste discrimination is a religious problem that needs to be addressed.

    I'd like to enlighten all those stupid Abrahamic extremists who mock Sanatana dharma based on this SOCIAL ISSUE (not religious).
    The Varnasrma system was never intended to be based on birth nor it was static. The whole idea of the varnas comes from gunas or the qualities of an individual. For example, a person who had only a good physical strength and who did manual labor was considered as a shudra by his profession, a business merchant was considered as a vaishya, a person with formal education and who had skills in the arts of warfare as a Kshatriya and a person who mainly worked based on intellect or the mind was a brahmana. This was how people lived before the kali yuga and in the Vedic era. People could move freely move between castes.
    Example; 1) The great Vishvamitra of the saptarishis(the seven sages) was a Kshatriya(by birth), but after he was enlightened, he became a brahmana.
    2) Sage Valmiki (who has written the great epic Ramayana) was initially a hunter and of what common people now say 'lower castes' but he became a Brahmana later and wrote one of the greatest epics and is revered by all the Hindus. ................(and many more people too)
    The Manusmriti was a document made by the man, and that's why they show these tough rules, much like your Quran and The Bible which promote much violence. All this discrimination, untouchability, and superstitions are due to human ignorance and are not flaws of any of the Hindu texts.
    Read the Gita, where the god himself says that he created the four-fold varna system based on the qualities of an individual.
    All this secularism has brought people like you who bribe the poor to convert them into your religions and create even more negativity and violence in our country- which never existed before- we were ALWAYS a peaceful community living to the right of the great Indus river, to which you fellas working for state-funded religious organizations and kings destroyed all the culture and wisdom of our people. (just think- in the initial years more than 80% of world deaths happened because of wars within your Abrahamic religions, but less than 1% in the Vedic ones like Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, etc(of a common origin).
    May I remind you of the brutal people of your Abrahamic religions(mainly Islam and Christianity) coming to our neighborhoods- destroying entire cities, civilizations, wisdom, and all the scriptures?
    May I remind you of your Jihad, polygamy, denial of basic rights to women, of your witch trials, massacres, forced conversions, and a whole lot of BLOODSHED.
    You are the real racist people who have traded Africans and treating them like you treat animals for hundreds of years.
    You were the cause of the destruction of entire communities of different ethnicities- The Red Indians, indigenous tribes of Africa, and many more.
    Anyway, I'm not too concerned about you and your extremist views and I want to lead a peaceful life and attain moksha because I know that this is all the play of the Almighty brahman who exists in all gods- in ours, in yours. But, I just want to add a point that a person who doesn't accept any diversity and tortures people of different beliefs sending them to hell forever, etc should rather be treated as a merciless monster, not as a god.
    Hope you have learned this truth before you learned it from me(a 15yr old kid). And from next time please don't utter any wrong about things without knowing anything about them. This is just your brainwashed extremist Abrahamic mindset which has destroyed world peace from time- immemorial.

    I know I'm posting this often but everyone needs to hear this. Some of my Christian and atheist friends did gharwapasi and came back to Hinduism. To be precise it was 7 of them. At first they had their reservation about this but I told them to practice Yogā for 1 month. After 32 days of Yogā they were feeling very happy and wanted to know more about it and Vedanta philosophy. One of them told me that she liked Swami Vivekananda's biography very much. I plan to gift a copy of it to each one of them on their birthdays. Some of them told me that they have shared this knowledge with other atheists and Christian, ex Christian friends of theirs and some of their friends r taking interest in learning Sanskrit now.

    As far as I know, I'm jat. The oldest distinct paternal ancestor of mine was in 1160 AD or so, One of the sons of a king from charkhi dadri in India .
    Jats by jati are mostly farmers and infantry people, though a few arose to royalty Eg Raja Surajmal.
    There is a concept of vansh(a) meaning the descendants of a long line of sons.
    Varna is as you have expressed. But add to it. Krishna calls himself shudra (and subsequently implying vishnu and his other avatars belonging to that category too) with the task of cleaning up the society when it becomes too dirty, restoring the order ie 'dharma sthapna'.
    Gotra relates to you linking your unbroken male lineage to one of the oldest original 8 sage.

    arya samaj has done a great job in helping us clear this doubt as they've found that out of 1126 quotes only 856 quotes matches with the various sources of manu smiriti. rest are just manipulations since the one used now was published out of british press in 1836. hope u can help me with this.

      @eyyeff 2 года назад +1

      @@ZChandra Firstly, there is no forcible conversion in Islam. If there cannot be forcible conversion, how can there be forcible circumcision? Make some sense dude.
      U wanna compare casteism in sanatan with slavery in Islam? Let's do it. Tell me after this comparison if given a choice, u would like to be a shudra in Hinduism or a slave in Islam. Let's see how objective and open minded u r.
      1. Slavery- non existent today vs Casteism - still practiced widely
      2. Slavery - on account of prisoners of wars (thus in one's control) vs Casteism - by birth based on which family one is born in (no control whatsoever)
      3. Not a single verse in Quran or Hadith enjoins taking one as slave vs Hundreds of shlokas clearly segregating, enjoining & promoting casteism
      4. Multiple verses of Qur'an and Hadith promoting freeing slaves vs No provision to change caste in the same life in any sloka across all books of hinduism
      5. Let's look at how they are to be fed, scripture vs scripture:
      It was narrated that Abu Dharr (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “They are your brothers whom Allaah has put under your authority, so if Allaah has put a person’s brother under his authority, let him feed him from what he eats and clothe him from what he wears, and let him not overburden him with work, and if he does overburden him with work, then let him help him.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (6050)
      On the other hand, let alone feed with a shudra equally, a Brahmana can't even give remnants of his food to a shudra.
      Manu Smriti 4.80-81; Vasistha 18.14 Let him not give to a Sudra advice, nor the remnants (of his meal), nor food offered to the gods; nor let him explain the sacred law (to such a man), nor impose (upon him) a penance. For he who explains the sacred law (to a Sudra) or dictates to him a penance, will sink together with that (man) into the hell (called) Asamvrita.
      6. If a slave wants to free himself, his master needs to make it easy for him, even contributing for his freedom:
      “And such of your slaves as seek a writing (of emancipation), give them such writing, if you find that there is good and honesty in them. And give them something (yourselves) out of the wealth of Allaah which He has bestowed upon you”
      Quran 24:33
      Can a shudra become a Brahmana by any means in the same life? No. Not a single shloka allows this. Infact, on the contrary, a shudra can't even amass wealth. Proof below:
      Mahabharata 12.60.36 “The Sudra should never abandon his master, whatever the nature or degree of the distress into which the latter may fall. If the master loses his wealth, he should with excessive zeal be supported by the Sudra servant. A Sudra cannot have any wealth that is his own. Whatever he possesses belongs lawfully to his master.”
      7. A slave has rights & dignity in Islam, irrespective of his religion.
      I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “Whoever slaps his slave or beats him, his expiation is to manumit him.” Narrated by Muslim (1657)
      Contrary to this, killing (mind you, slapping led to emancipation in Isla & it is killing here) a shudra is like killing an animal.
      Agni Purana 169.25-32 “…A man having killed a cat, a mongoose, a frog, a dog, a Godha, an owl, and a crow, should practice the penance he ought to have done, if he had killed a Shudra…”
      I could go on and on, but I think for the rational ones I have made my point and for those with bias, any number of evidences wouldn't matter.

      Birth Based Caste is a superstitious system, however Varna was the original system, in Varna there was no upper or lower, people chose the work of which they are qualified for and according to Bhagavad Gita, anyone can be a Brahman (Teacher), Shatriya (Warrior), Vaishya (Trader), Shudra (Labor) based on knowledge and skills:

And it is true for all _varna_ , even more so in the _kshatriya_ , _vaishya_ & _shudra_ than the _brahmana_ mainly because the former three had power/physical assets/trade secrets passed from generation to generation. The narrative that the _brahmana_ chiefly tried to keep _varna_ it in their families is untrue. All other _varna_ perpetuated the same.

    Patrick Olivelle, a professor of Sanskrit and Indian Religions and credited with modern translations of Vedic literature, Dharma-sutras and Dharma-sastras, states that ancient and medieval Indian texts do not support the ritual pollution, purity-impurity premise implicit in the Dumont theory. According to Olivelle, purity-impurity is discussed in the Dharma-sastra texts, but only in the context of the individual's moral, ritual and biological pollution (eating certain kinds of food such as meat, going to bathroom). Olivelle writes in his review of post-Vedic Sutra and Shastra texts, "we see no instance when a term of pure/impure is used with reference to a group of individuals or a varnaor caste". The only mention of impurity in the Shastra texts from the 1st millennium is about people who commit grievous sins and thereby fall out of their varna. These, writes Olivelle, are called "fallen people" and considered impure in the medieval Indian texts. The texts declare that these sinful, fallen people be ostracised.[86] Olivelle adds that the overwhelming focus in matters relating to purity/impurity in the Dharma-sastra texts concerns "individuals irrespective of their varna affiliation" and all four varnas could attain purity or impurity by the content of their character, ethical intent, actions, innocence or ignorance (acts by children), stipulations, and ritualistic behaviors.[87]

    Hi, I was wondering if you read the book "Western Foundations of the Caste System" by Martin Farek, Dustin Jalki, Sufiya Pathan, and Prakash Shah? They're basically arguing that modern descriptions of caste in India are based on how the British perceived caste, and that what goes on the ground level based on ethnographic studies is a different story.

    • @DharmaSpeaks
      @DharmaSpeaks  6 лет назад +4

      bp7891 I haven’t read the book. There is no doubt that the British had a significant role in the way caste is viewed. But it would be a mistake to see the caste issue is entirely based on this

    • @bp7891
      @bp7891 6 лет назад +4

      Oh definitely didn't mean to suggest it was all the fault of the British, while Indians are totally innocent. What I mean to say that when Hindus are confronted with questions about casteism, the usual reply is to say that the original system was good and well intentioned and it later got corrupted throughout the years.
      I think instead of saying how this hypothetical theoretical system should have been like, a better solution would be to look into anthropological studies and fieldwork on how jati and interactions between different jatis occurred, both historically in the past and in modern times in rural parts of India untouched by westernization, and figure out what was good, what was bad, and what was neutral about how the different jatis worked and interacted with each other on the ground level.
      The book I mentioned up in my original comment doesn't focus too much on jatis in different parts of India, but it talks about how modern descriptions of caste are based on the Western Christian experience of caste and Indian culture, and how modern scholarship on India is still based on how Europeans thought societies should work, which doesn't work in an Indian context. The main point is that it's important to start off on the right foundation on how things actually happen on the ground level and work from there, otherwise you end up unintentionally causing more unrest and problems in Indian society.

All us Hindus need to really understand what the system is and be able to explain when asked. Social mores change and are not set in stone. The Varna/jati system have been hijacked for many reasons ; social, economic, political and also as a proselytising tool by Christian and Muslim religions. Thank your for doing this video.

      @Rich 91 The perennial concept of people, language, agriculture and cultural ideas coming to India from outside and through the Northwest corridor doesn't produce much evidence. Because out of mt dna haplogroups 70-75% shows South Asian or Indigenous/ local origin. And among the rest 20-25% only 10% ( J2 haplogroup) shows proof of the external contribution to the haplogroups. The rest of the debatable portions ie 15-20% with the haplogroups L, R1 and R2 shows closer relations with the nearby or neighboring races ( ie Persians and Mongolians). Even if some sort of racial mixing happened it happened no sooner than at least 40 thousand years ago. By Mondal et all 2017.

    What a lovely detailed explanation. I feel ancient varna system was extremely advance. It was like the current HR practice where for a company to be successful you need different skill sets- Marketing, sales etc. Our horoscopes also mention our varna but I’m not sure if it is same as ancient varna system. For eg I’m a Brahmin but my horoscope varna is Kshatriya & my sister is shudra as per horoscope. And she is extremely good with managing work - so your varna is not decided by birth but based on the skills/ qualities one possesses

    Caste had been abolished by Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu by giving His arms to the Chandal(dalit) to Brahmins. By chanting Hare Krishna, the caste difference dissolves. Actually, those differences are already in the system and is not heritable. But the society pushed their works to their successors making them heritable. However, Sri Chaitanya abolished it giving the topmost position to all who chants the name of God and his or her Varna is not at all relevant as the society had transformed it into groups than the qualities.

    Well vedas rigveda gives definition of four varna, yajurveda mentions definition of chandal and nishadha which is proof of birth based varna system and discrimination, mahabharat has many stories about birth based varna system ( check what " sut" in sutputra karna means) , bhagwat Gita talks about paap yoni etc and says one must do work of varna he was born into no matter how bad he was at it, and never do work of other varna no matter how good he is at it, ....with this context all Gita is actually trying to implement birth based varna system and discrimination out of which caste system originated. So caste discrimination is a religious problem that needs to be addressed.

    I had the thought of American slavery in my mind throughout this, as I am descended from black slaves, and I grew up Fundamentalist Christian.
    I was thinking about this sociologically, both from a structural functionalist perspective (what role does it serve society) and a conflict perspective (which says society is biased towards the powers that be). I also thought of Marx's view of the "opiate of the masses", which means that religion is used as a power play. (Marx was mainly critiquing Christianity, though, not Hinduism.) On the one hand, religion has often inspired those who challenge the powers that be: examples include Gandhi and Dr. King (the latter, though a Christian, was inspired by the former).
    So, I remain Christian, though I am wary, having seen the worse side of the religion. I know that other religions (including Judaism) are different from Christianity; nevertheless, I am troubled by how common it is to use religion as a tool of oppression,,and by the fact it happens in so many religions. Nevertheless, I am inspired by those of all religions and no religion who stand for justice.
