Answer 2

Hinduism is Oxymoron.

Instead you should ask what is your Caste.

Castes were created in 12th century...

Hinduism's caste system is a religious-based system of separating groups and keeping one class (the Brahmins) over everyone else.

In America there is no system in place today that forces people to remain separate or keeps one class subservient to another. If you were born the son of a street sweeper, but excelled, you could become a doctor or lawyer or some celebrity or entrepreneur - and at the same time you would be fully accepted by your peers.

Not so in India. The caste system freezes everyone in place. It is extremely difficult - almost impossible - for someone from the lowest caste to rise in education and social status. A Dalit would never be allowed to marry into one of the higher castes and would never be accepted as an equal. And for a Dalit to make it into medical school or become a member of high society in India is very rare indeed.

Only by escaping from the grasp of Hinduism do they have much of a chance.

Answer 4

In ancient India existed a social system where people were divided into separate close communities called castes. The formation of caste was based on the profession. For example, Kings belonged to caste of Kshatriya, priests formed the caste of Brahmans, businessmen formed the caste of Vyasyas so on and so forth. As the time passed by sub-castes were formed within the castes based on various other reasons.

The caste system is wrongly interpreted and wrongly followed in the modern India. Caste system has nothing to do with whether a person is of high class or low class. Caste system was formed only to differentiate people based on their professions.

Caste system taken in the right sense has lot of advantages. For example, Vyasya (business people) are supposed to be good at business because of the knowledge and experience that is passed on from generations within the vyasya community. Another example can be that if a prince. Generally in ancient times Kings son would ascend the throne after the king retires/dies because the Kings son always accompanied the King and thus has better knowledge of politics. Its the same for all castes.

But in modern world the term Caste has been very wrongly interpreted. The system was not created with the intention to divide people but to have an organized and efficient system. Its a sad thing that caste system has divided the Indian society in some way.
