Who made the Brahmin the high caste? The Puranas and Vedas say that the Brahmins
were created by Brahma from big head and therefore they have the right to belong to
that group. To they are people of high caste. Well, it sounds very logical convincing
and acceptable but, who wrote the Puranas and Vedas? There any proof or
authenticity as to their Origin? Or did it come from high above? It would be very
interesting if you take little trouble to find out who was in fact behind these books
and what was their motive in writing them?

We are living in the 21st century where science and technology has advanced
unprecedently. However, in some parts of India, even today a low caste Hindu cannot
pass on a street from the end to the other end without first having his chappals
removed and placed on his head.

Hotels and other eating places maintain separate cuttlery for low caste Hindus.
