RE:Real tenets of Brahminism is this
by Anand Iyer on Jun 07, 2007 04:36 PM

"Caste" is not based on qualities.Caste is bith-based. "Class" is determined by qualities. "Class" in Gita beacme "Caste' under Manu. Lomaharasha and his son Sootha Maharishi belonged to the so-called lower caste(in Manu terms) but they (by virtue of their knowledge) were acccepted as Chairpersons of assembly of rishis.(See Mahabharata). Thus, origibnally, it was "class"-Intellectual/Rulers/Traders/Labour. Then, Manu the fake made it "caste". Let us cast way caste.
