Birth-Based CasteSystem – A Curse on the Humankind
In the Shaanti Parva of the Mahaabhaarata, it is said that in the beginning of life on the earth there was no division of the society on the basis of birth, every human was called Braahmana, as every human was born of Brahma or Brahmaa. Later in the Satya Yuga, people started to indulge in the worldly pleasures, and therefore lose the soul’s brightness considerably. Some clever persons of the society who were powerfully in the profession of teaching, preaching, worshipping, and writing got the chance to spread ignorance in the society and divided the society into various castes and four Varnas on the basis of birth and announced who would not follow their decision the sky would fall on them or they would have to face God’s wrath, or they would go to hell after death or they would become animals, reptiles, etc in the coming several births, and many more types of fear were presented before the God-fearing people with shining wicked eyes.
It has always been experienced in our history that whoever dominates the village or some place tries to keep other people of the society ignorant so that they could not raise their head before him and they should remain getting robbed and tortured by him. The same thing started getting done by these clever persons and they made the society rot. It seems they saved the religion by running Mandiras and writing religious hymns etc but in reality they did the work of Raahu by preventing most people of the society from learning, and understanding the beauty of the Sun and the Moon. Also, to live without earning money they told the people to give them sufficient money and things as this work would lead them to heaven. Surprisingly, they also said who had seen the gods! but they were visible gods, and serve them as they said otherwise the aforesaid fears would reach them. Resultantly, Bhaarata mostly became a crowd of the low-grade persons on one hand, and on the other hand of the beggars, and luxury-loving arbitrary persons. Like lotus in mud, rare good persons took birth and could write unbiased Upanishads, Mahaabhaarata, etc sacred scriptures.
Now it is clear that our country’s present condition is created by these clever persons. Now it is up to the countrymen to throw away the fetters of the birth-based casteism and bring all the people of the nation’s root religion under one identity. This will strengthen not the nation’s culture and religion only but the entire nation from every aspect too. Also, logically, when it was monarchy, the king’s son became the king after him on the basis of birth. But when monarchy is abolished why caste-system still remains! Caste-system creates injustice, decay, and dishonesty in the society. One can be abused with abusive words on one’s misdeed only, and not because of one’s birth. Everything here is clear to understand but our countrymen seem hell-bent on downfall, so they are not ready to abolish any such system prevailing in the society that is unjust and has been rotting every part of the nation.
