Whats the reason (say one of the reason) for todays problem of illiteracy among the lower castes and the non-brahmin castes??.
From the olden days education is reserved for brahmins only. Some of the kshatriyas also go for Gurukuls, but thats not given as core imporatnce. All vaisya's will learn business techniques from their family and by experience over a period of time. shudras not at all considered for education. Thats how its(Education) been treated in our culture(again this also initiated and nurtured by brahmins only--- untouchability and sathisahagamana are all started by them only).
See the occupants of prime minister and other powerfull posts(both in public and private sectors)in India --- most of them are brahmins. Why agriculture is not given importance (because its not related to brahmins- they only eat, dont cultivate. They need Ghee and milk but they dont do any animal care, they like to have higher posts-that why they hate reservations---I am not supporter or agitator for reservations, they like to have higher respect in society---in return they do little for the society)
