There was “untouchability” within abd between Brahmin communities and even rules for touch within family.

Also, so-called “untouchables” also have touch rules between each other, will not intermarry etc.

A complex social organization was reduced to simplistic “caste hierarchy.”
This. I request people to document such instances.
Yes, social-distancing rules arise from a complex set of needs including disease control, managing vasana, and adhyatma. Understanding of this has been completely distorted.
Absolutely. There is a complex set of rules largely dealing with energetics for sadhana.
This is about controlling vasana.
Yes. Even my widowed mother now does not touch anyone other than her children or grandchildren. Everyone else is door se namaste.
Yes, in some families the rules also include children.

Every generation of White Supremacy has its own “acceptable racism.”

For US academia of today this is anti-Hindu racism, normalized by the fig-leaf of attacking “Hindutva.”

@Rutgers_Newark and @AnnaBranchPhD provide cover for this #WhiteSupremacy against Hindus.
There is no "last them." Abrahamism is built on binary. Even if one Abrahamism were to eliminate all others, they'd still seek a binary. So they would schism and each schism would fight the other. It is endless war, we are just the current target.

The rapacious "zamindar" has been the archetype of the atrocities of the "caste system" on the poor "lower castes."

But the Zamindar is a Persian word, it status enshrined by the British along European feudal lords. Its not about Hindu "varna", but #ChristoIslamic imperialism.
Quote from @mjakbar—"AN EAST BENGAL IN WEST BENGAL."

In OpentheMagazine.
@mjakbar The British literally constructed Zamindari based on English feudalism. That "caste system" including notion of "blood purity" ("blue blood" of aristocracy) and casting of Indian society groups into a static hierarchy is all a British imperial production.

Congress is indeed the new Muslim League.

The corollary is that the BJP is the new Congress, complete with religion-based schemes and appeasement which discriminate against Hindus. That it used to deride as "pseudo-secular."

So, do we need a new BJP?

Exhibit # 1:

It doesn't want to fix anti-Hindu policies even when it has the power to do so. It says "challenge them in court." 😏 How is that different from Congress?

And here is my detailed article. Shouldn't BJP roll back its anti-Hindu schemes?

The “upper caste” status of Sayeed, Sheikh, Quraishi etc among Indian Muslims comes straight from the Hadith where Mohammad claimed certain tribes as “chosen.”

@Sanjay_Dixit
The denial of education to “low-born” Muslims by fatwa of “high-born” Turkic-Islamic invaders. No Indian Muslim “caste” didn’t come from Hindus but by Islamic race supremacy.
Wow. You needed Ashraf certificate for admission into AMU. Original source?

Btw, the word “sharif” in Urdu comes from reference to the Ashraf caste.

Absolutely true by @nitin_gadkari. The problem starts from the top. IAS people are those that got recruited in their 20s for passing some exams. They have no real experience of the world but for how to game the system and move or stall Govt files for profit.
Inexperience and lack of knowledge combines with a training of supremacy over common people and being “Mai baap.” They are also jealous of their friends in the private sector. So they don’t want private sector to rise. Overall IAS is a disaster for progress. @narendramodi
The same attitude percolates down. There is no accountability, no reward for performance, no fear o being kicked out. Only thing that counts is warming the seat.

The system corrupts.

Is it the job of the prime minister to “give jobs”?

Who “gave jobs”? MM Singh “gave jobs”, other than NREGA ditch digging?

#modi_job_do represents a failed big state communist mindset.

The Govt needs to get out of the way of business which creates jobs. Why not focus on that?
Absolutely. I think there is a failure of the govt to pro-actively communicate and make sure exams are conducted in timely fashion. I'm hearing from a lot of students left high and dry. But that's different from "giving jobs."

Focus on building your skills, jobs are there. I'm looking to hire but hard to find candidates who are sincere, hard-working, willing to learn and have invested in useful skills.

I've even hired people from Twitter who were sincere and persistent. 😌
