I think I wasn't clear on my last post. I totally agree with the article but the article is merely an opinion, a translation. What I want to see is something written in our sculpture that says Caste system doesn't follow any heritage or lineage. The shlokas I have found so far, only acknolwedge the presence of the caste system, nothing disassociates it from lineage.
I want to be a proud hindu and point to our shlokas/vedas that caste system isn't suppose to follow a particular surname.
I actually believe that caste system was inserted in our sculptures to enforce a labor division, a political move from the powerfuls, back in those area. They held a meaning back then (who would clean sewer otherwise) but are irrelevant now.
