>Muh “caste system” debunkedProof that the caste system is a modern invention created by the Portuguese and other whitoids who imposed their world view (the feudal system) onto Indians.2nd century Roman philosopher Arrian applauded India to be the nation of free people, he cites that he found no slaves in India at all,[2] and he further added:No Indian ever went outside his own country on a warlike expedition, so righteous were they.[3]
arrian literally said india had castes lol
>>18437339lol no. He described them as classes (short for classification).According to Arrian's Indica, the seven classes were:Wise Men (Philosophers): The smallest group but highest in honor.Agriculturalists: Described as the most numerous class.Cowherds and Hunters: The only class that tended animals and hunted.Traders and Artisans: Those who bought, sold, and worked with their hands.Warriors: A large, organized class that lived a life of leisure in times of peace.Overseers (Inspectors): Those who reported on the happenings in the country to the king.Administrators (Councillors): Those who managed public affairs and held high offices.
>>18437348So... there was no street sweepers and people forced to beg... ans eventually sell themselves to others, interestingSeems like India was heaven in earth Or maybe youre just an ignorant fuck
>>18437399You seem to know ancient India more than the Roman philosopher first hand experience in the 2nd century, Retard.
>>18437337Castes already existed when the Portuguese arrived. The Portuguese tried getting rid of the caste system, but kept Brahmins around as a way to appease locals>“The gentiles of this land are divided into castes, and each caste has its own separate occupation, and they do not mix with one another, nor do they eat or drink together.”>“And each person must live and marry within their own caste, never being able to pass into another, even if they are very rich or powerful.”>“And they regard this as a matter of great honor and purity, and anyone who breaks this rule becomes infamous forever, and no one of their caste speaks to them or gives them water.”>“And among these castes there are some more noble than others, especially the Brahmins, who are their priests; and these do not eat meat or fish, nor do they kill any living thing, and they are greatly respected among them.”>“And after them come other castes of merchants and farmers, and others of craftsmen, and others very low, whom no one wishes to touch, nor speak to, nor take anything from their hands.”>-Duarte Barbosa, 1516
>>18437337>retarded jeet doesn't even know xis on historyGo back to writing dog shit code, saar.
>>18437461What is the etymological word of "caste" and why are/were central and south american with higher Spaniard genetics considered "castizos? What is the meaning behind the surname "Castillo"/"Castilho"?
Spic went quiet. I am glad you concede.
>>18437637>Castillo"/"CastilhoCastle>>18437637>why are/were central and south american with higher Spaniard genetics considered "castizosMeans mixedWhen the spanish came to America they instituted the encomienda system, which means that the king gave natives to spanish people as servants under the deal that they provided civilization (education, culture, religion, "roof") in exchange for labor. Chattel slavery under the guise of civilisation of "sub humans".Imagine being this ignorant.
>>18437637>etymological wordI think you mean etymology, since that word means "origin"Etymological word doesn't make sense, it's redundant
>>18437637Varna is literally in the Rig Veda and the Upanishads, who are you trying to fool?Why do Indians deny their own culture?
doesn't genetics support caste being old? Jatis are very discreet genetically, they look what like what you'd expect with longstanding (i.e. pre-Euro) intermarriage taboos
>>18437337>demonising the feudal systemWhy? The European feudal order was one of the most succesful modes of social organisation in history. It should be an object of pride.
>>18438155>Etymological word doesn't make sense, it's redundantNo.It derives from the Greek étymon ("true sense") and -logia ("study of") "word". Study of the true sense of the word.
>>18438165>Varna is literally in the Rig Veda and the Upanishads, who are you trying to fool?>Key Points from Arrian’s Observation:>Seven Divisions: Instead of the four traditional varnas, Arrian divided Indian society into seven specialized groups: philosophers, farmers, herdsmen, artisans/traders, soldiers, overseers, and counselors/assessors.
>>18437337Anti-casteists do not believe that caste do not exist, but that initially this system was meant to be fluid, and the four fold division was based on one’s occupation and not by birth. But traces of rigidity and the system turning into a birth based Jati can be found in Yajurveda.>"For Brahman (Priesthood) he binds a Brahman to the stake; for Kshatra (Royalty) a Râjanya; for the Maruts, a Vaisya; for Penance a Sûdra; for Darkness a robber; for Hell a homicide or a man who has lost his consecrated fire; for Misfortune a eunuch; for Venality an Ayogû; for Kâma a harlot; for Excessive Noise a Mâgadha;>For Dance a stable-master (Suta) ; for Song a public dancer; for Duty one who attends court; for Pastime a timid man; for Sport a chatterer; for Laughter an artist; for Pleasure a woman-lover; for Desire a damsel's son; for Dexterity, a car-builder; for Firmness a carpenter;>For Trouble a potter's son; for Device an artificer; for Beauty a jeweller; for Welfare a sower; for the Arrow-deity a maker of shafts; for Injury a bowyer; for Action a bowstring-maker; for Fate a rope-maker; for Death a hunter; for the Finisher a dog-leader;>For Rivers a fisherman; for Rikshîkâs a Nishâda's son; for the Man-tiger a madman; for the Gandharvas and Apsarases a Vrâtya; for Motives one demented; for Serpents and Genii an untrustworthy man; for Dice a gambler; for Excitement a non-gambler; for Pisâchas a woman who splits cane." (Yajur Veda: Book 30)It is to be noted that, the above verses make mention of mixed castes. Categorizing the offsprings of mixed union into a separate caste was the first step towards rigidifying the system.>Magadha is the son of a Vaisya father and Kshatriya mother>Nishada is the son of a Brahmana father and Sudra mother>Suta is a son of a Kshatriya father and a Brahmana mother>Sons born to a man and woman of the same caste (except Shudras), but married before Upanayana, are Vrātyas
>>18438260The Upanishads which are commentaries to Vedas clarify that the system was based on birth:>"Among them, those who did good work in this world [in their past life] attain a good birth accordingly. They are born as a brāhmin, a Kshatriya or a Vaisya But those who did bad work in this world [in their past life] attain a bad birth accordingly, being born as a dog, a pig, or as a casteless person." (Chandogya Upanishad, Verse 5.10.7)Actually the verses use the word Candalayonim, which is translated as a caste less person, Candalas are children born to a Sudra father and Brahmana mother. They are simply outcastes. So they are condemned to live outside the villages, do cremation jobs and wear only the clothes of the dead bodies. They can only possess dogs and donkeys.The Chandogya Upanishad is embedded in the Chandogya Brahmana of the Samabeda of Hinduism. It is one of the oldest Upanishads. It claims that bad karma results in being born into a lower caste.So, we know that the system of segregating people by birth, existed at least as far back as the times of Yajurveda, 1200BCE –900 BCE. Chandogya Upanishad is dated to 800BCE - 600BCE. So, this system of discrimination is atleast 3200 years old. That’s why this is deeply entrenched in the Indian society.
