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

Only fools and ignorants will do this kind of shit. Beyond disgraceful.
Swamiji's Hindu Dharma is the most purest form of any religious teaching I have read. But sadly he has been a pariah in Indian context.
The left is too woke to read his teachings and the right is too conservative to apply his teachings in real life.
