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.

The Puranas and Vedas were written by people like Valmiki who were nothing but hunters. Many were shudras also. To that day they were co-existing and today it is totally misinterpretted by the people for petty gain. Just answer me one thing, when you are born do you know who you are? when you die do you know what happens of you? A small child if you ask what caste it is it will tell "ba ba ba" or something similar. When you do not know these answers, why do you want to manipulate things to your advantage? Even now time is not lost. All need to unite else the politicians will tear us apart and loot us in name of the castes.

I guess you are poor at knowledge though I appreciate that you are against reservation. Valmiki is life story doesn't mean that Vedas and Puranas all are written by hunters. One more thing those who wrote them or discovered where highly enlightened to the state of God. Please respect them. We have a big problem i.e. We people of India give opinions on basis of what somebody says or portrays to us. We ourselves won't try to find the truth. There was no Caste system in India or Hindu religion. The name's were given to people to identify them with their work. But with time gradually common person of society started making his on meanings and then started dividing. At that time some dominant people were dividing and now the politicians are dividing. WHO IS BENEFITTED? Take it its a truth that there is no alternative to Hard Work and Prayer and Wisedom. Come on don't tell yourself educated untill you find the truth.
