Six Strings... I have a deep doubt about how and why could have the Malla king introduced caste system becuase it seems totally irrelevant and totally unconnected to measurement system such as Manna , Paaathi etc. In what way could he have had been benefited from the introduction of caste system at all ? Without his personal or the interest of some interest group it seems very doubtful that he was the one to introduce caste system. Even if I were to suppose that he did it by chance why there was not a single "visionairy" in the "self-claimed superior caste" who could address this problem. Didnt they miss the historic opportunity to unite the society or at least start a long process of redemption. "Being a Bhramin means embodiment of Bhramha" Well, being an embodiement of Bhramha or George Bush, or PM.Tony Blair or PM Paul Martin or Sec. Gen. Kofi Annan, what does it have to do with presuming oneself of being a superior being ? Do you know the 2 daughters of George Bush are drunk ass***holes arrested for drunk driving. Did their father being the most powerful person in the current world stopped them from being disgraced and have a police record ?
