@raman Arey Arey. I wanna steal this!!!!
@freemo No children born to Brahmins would be brahmins as the Manusmriti assumed that under the parentage of Brahmin Parents their kids would gain sufficient knowledge and pick a school of philosophy to study further.
But irrespective of that , the kids had to prove their affiliation to a school of though before they reached an age where they could break celibacy.
Now here is the best part.
In any settlement, or human habitation.
It was the responsibility of Brahmins(Who were given huge houses with huge courtyards) to attempt administration of philosophical knowledge to children born to lower castes.
If a trader caste decides to teach his child trading, he was free to pull his child out from under the mentorship of a brahmin.
Similarly, a warrior caste would learn the art of defence under a sage. It was uncommon for warriors to renounce warfare as it threatened state security.
---------------------
But aren't you curious about untouchability?
@freemo The golden question.
Who gets to decide who has worked enough to be a Brahmin and who should be demoted.
The authority to enforce this system was in three places.
1. The kings court
2. The high priests who would induct new Brahmins or demote existing ones
3. The social constitution - “Manusmriti”-V1.0
All three were liable to corruption. But not together, and that was the checks and balance. But during the time of regime changes this document would get vulnerable to the greed of Brahmins.
During the reign of Hindu King Chandra Gupta this system is said to have worked so well that India was known as the Golden sparrow.(other factors contributed too)
But when gupta died, it is said that Brahmins modified the document to fix their place in the caste system permanently. The guna operating principle was abandoned. Welcome Manusmriti V2.0
It was a fork altogether!!
—————————
If only they had AI at that time to Dictate caste based on deeds alone. A persons social status depending directly on what he has done for the betterment of society. I believe we would have rid humanity of all problems by now.
The system was never supposed to be exclusive, it was inclusive and freely allowed vertical movement.
I just can’t ever help feeling that the caste system from Manusmriti V1.0 as a social system was way ahead of its time.
It feels to me like a radical experiment in social sciences that went wrong due to the corruption of a few scientists.
Was it necessary to conduct this experiment? I don’t know.
Then is it necessary to conduct any experiment?
Swami Vivekananda was a representative of Neo-Vedanta Philosophy.
He effectively fused Nationalism and Religion for the upliftment of poor people and to rescue them from oppression by the rich. He endorsed the sciences, leading to Tata creating the Indian Institute of science. He was a force for the propogation of Hinduism in the western Hemisphere.
He was against Untouchability, but wasn’t against the caste system. For him the caste system was one where an individual is not born into a caste but is assigned a caste based on his gunas (actions).
So someone with a lower caste parentage could work upto a higher caste and a Brahmin child could grow up to fall through the ranks of caste.
His views were that - Caste was an early social system. But its complexity led to its failure and abuse.
The teaching of Swami Vivekanada are quite complex. The complexity is evident in the way the students of #JNU treated an uninaugrated statue of Swami Vivekananda.
The thing about JNU students is that they are quite daft. They do not understand the concept of abstract thought let alone Neo-Vedanta Philosophy.
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers.
It is high time we renamed the college #VeerSavarkarUniversity

We only fight adversaries when they have a breath left in them.
If they are down we nurse them. Bring them back to health. Be kind to them.
So that when they stand once more.
We can bring them down all over again.
Nehru’s Children need to stop acting like children.
Happy Childrens Day to the Indian libs of #mastadon.
#JNU is Veer Savarkar University

If we can do it to Journalists, we can do it to rich kids!!
Sorrow is a path to enlightenment.
Sorrow is a gift.
Sorrow doesn’t discriminate.
If sorrow has visited you consider yourself lucky,
For nature has shed a drop of her tear on you,
Embrace it,
You have been chosen.

I love the idea of functional programming.
It reminds me if that movie Inception.
Functions calling themselves from within themselves.
We have to take off our diapers we can’t screw Nehru in the ass without taking off our diapers.
It gets in the way.
We need an advertising strategy !!
Qoto’s 60k charachter limit is something people don’t even know about !!
As long as he is dead and can’t see what’s happening its cool.
But oh wait.
The left does this to people that are alive and in important positions today !!
What a hippocrisy!!
I agree very much with this.
People who do not have their ear to the ground should never claim they hear the thunder of horses !!
Groups should always be represented by those affected.
But then again we assume that there are leaders within these groups.
Sadly these groups sometimes lack good leaders and hence lean on those with separate motives.
I’m not getting any notifications.
Marxy izz sad.
Marxy wantses the doopaminesez
