It's okay. Most of us who can read history and who have studied religion know all about it. Your religion started...what...about 3000 years ago and hasn't changed much? Not surprising.
@4meAndyou Nope. There's fascist political party currently in power they wanna take this country back in time. India is not just about festival of colours, these politicians openly admire Nazism because it matches with their racist religious mentality.
@OffendingThoughts I am also Hindu, but neither Bhramin nor Kshtriya nor Vaishya nor Shudra, nor converted. You don't know about Hinduism, You seems to be a politically influenced biased person. Can't say if you are really a Hindu Bhramin or not.
@ABCDEF7 Gokhale is my surname from maharashtra of kashyap gotra. My ancestors were killedars. I know the racism better and being a girl I know how ugly this culture is. These are just political cadres trying to win vote by saying all Hindus are equal and caste system is not bad like you know. I have heard enough talks from RSS members saying we can use hindu unity first to destroy the Muslims and later we can reestablish caste system in 2025 because that's their Anniversary. Real Hindu saints are Sant Tukaram, Dnyaneshwar mauli, even Sambhaji Maharaj. Sant Tukaram was murdered by Salo Malo Bhatt for preaching bhakti movement and for guiding the lower castes himself being shudra. Hinduism Today goes like this, A Kulkarni / Joshi orders The Thakur and the Thakur tortures a chamar. Sadhgurus knowledge is of no use if he can't stop this, just totally wipe the Varna Ashram in Hinduism drop the use trillion billion year old egoistic family Surnames, Encourage inter caste marriages, and ban pandits or anyone from asking gotra and kuldaivat, protect the kunbi caste farmer in droughts. That's how Shivajiraje - Sambhajiraje's swarajya will be re-established but you people want ram rajya which is based on caste system.
@OffendingThoughts I guess you have Still not understood difference between Varna Vyavastha and caste system. Please read once the article shared in end of my first reply.
I also belong to Kashyap gotra, do you know what does gotra resembles?
