Ok felicity here it comes, and Vishontar you are way off man .Try to understand Things than blaming.Think!!!!!!!! "THERE IS NO NEED TO BE ASHAMED OF CASTE SYSTEM NEITHER KILLINGS OF ANIMALS" Have it ever occured to you that things are their with correct intention but something goes wrong during time and process .Just like"DEMOCRACY " for Nepal.:) The 90's democracy was good .Wasn't it .How did we interpret it .Infact how did nepali janta and people used it?????? Caste system is not the root teachings of hinduism. Caste system not only exist in out culture but also in many other civilization from Africa to Europe. As i mentioned Hinduism grew with time and people according to time has been adding stuff .Some are interpreting incorrectly though the intention might not have been ill intended. As the Indus valley civilization grew .There was more opportunities other than farming .They were very advance people .They had irrigation system to engineers.There needed to be work distirbution.Infact one the knowledgable had to get some apperentice to continue there work /skills. This later on continued as time passed .People started exploiting.Now the politics gets involved.Mind you all other religion(except-Jews,except jain/buddism/Shekh- reforms of hindusim)are politically driven from the time it has existed) The civilization of Aryans grew and started migarating to east - and south.There they meet dravidians.Dravidians are indegenious people of present south east asia.Since these aryans were smarter than dravidians .They assimilated as well as finding ways to dominate these black jungles(sorry to use this term).they adopted some of thier beliefs and imposed some of theirs.Now ,Aryans expolited these dravidians and idegenious people.And started dominating.As the Dravidians had already adopted aryans belief system they went along with the Arayans.The Aryans also divided the Dravidians. The Made up story of one caste being superior to another is just madeup.There is nothing superiority in caste ,their intention was division of work. As the civilization of india continued these so called Arayans (brahmin ) mostly would made up false story in hinduism and make themself more superior.Hinduism doesn't initaily advocate superiority on the basis of caste.(the original).I admit that these needs reforms in modern days Hinduism but don't blame Hinduism for it. As far part of Nepal.These so called chettri and some Aryans entered present day Nepal too.they were clever ,smart than janjati so easily they stablised thier dominance in Nepal too.Do you remember in Nepal their were janjati Rajas - kirats . During the time of Malla kings .Jayasthi malla again, reformed the society according to work.To divide work among people and this continued as time passed so called high class people started exploiting.Exploitation occurs in every religion - muslim is not pure and hinduism is no exception. Then again in later Jang bahadur inorder to intergate people inforced these caste system. So Felicity -- sometime things starts with good intention but end up in wrong direction.it is just life !!! I will explain why scarifice is wrong and not so wrong.To be continued:)
