Basically what is caste.? what is its very meaning? what might be its origin!!!
Think of a situation where there are no caste system built around us.! People are busy in minding their own business. Definitely the interest of every individual varies. Also surprisingly for some, interests matches with some others. Consider 100 people around us divided into chunks depending on their likings , say 10 groups, some group likes to Teach, some protects, some are business minded, and some likes to do service and maintenance etc. It will then become usual practice to call the group of people to which they belong by their group name.!!!
Exactly in same way the caste system originated. In olden days the group of people who were teaching good things were called "Brahmanas", one who Protected the society called as "Kshatriyas" etc.. Gradually each group divided into many sub divisions depending on the thinking and occupation they do. Now we have whole lot of castes in-front of us as every subdivisions evolved it its own way.
So basically the word "Caste" refers to what you are doing, what is your status and contribution to society. its not just caste of your father defines yours. If one follows the way their ancestor used to follow then its perfectly fine, if not then you are out of that caste. It requires a common sense and mind of acceptance.
Now the situation has come where the question of caste come only at the time of marriages!!. Its my humble request to change your thoughts on the caste system built by our ancestors. Don't quarrel in the name of castes. Understand that we are divided by thoughts. Caste is just a System, should not become an Issue.!!
Think, which is your caste!!!!!??? do U really belong to the one you are claiming to be!!?
Thanks for reading.. :)
