Answer 1

Understanding the concept "caste system in India" -


According to the laws of Manu, all the priests, pundits and Brahmins fall into the Brahmin category. The protection of the country was to be done by the Kshatriyas. The trading community was to be called Vaishya and the worker class as Shudra.

It was not Manu or anybody else for that matter that caste system came into existence. I may be born in a Jain family. If I feel like joining the Army then I am following the Kshatriya Dharma. And one in the same family joins the trading business. He no doubt follows the Vaishya Dharma. In such circumstances is anybody to blame!

If a child is born in the Shudra family and joins the Army! He is ultimately following Kshatriya Dharma. The concept of the four castes was not to create disharmony amongst people of various communities... rather it was to keep them bound together.

The vested interests of politicians and religious leaders have ruined the system. They have tried to differentiate people of various castes on communal lines! This was the prime reason why Mahatma Gandhi termed the Shudra community as harijan. And who is a harijan? A son of God... a son of Hari (in Hinduism God is also represented as Hari).

This was one of the noblest things Mahatma Gandhi ever did for the community. He laid down his life for the country is a different matter. More on caste system in India here- http://www.godrealized.com/Hinduism.html

Answer 2

Its not that upper caste does not understand Ambedakar. Many do and respect him. I agree he had a great vision. In fact I agree with many of his opinions. Problem is that many people dont read him and that includes lower caste people as well. Even most of his supporters and lower castes have little knowlege about him. He is being used by politicians for their own purpose. He would have been infuritated the way his name is used today.

By the way do you know that constitution was not made by Ambedkar only? It has 256 members. And its head was Dr Rajendra Prasad. There were many others involved. There were too many scholars and worthy people who drafted Constitution. Ambedakar was one of those great people.

Answer 3

Only the creamy layer of upper caste people makes statement against the vision of Dr.Ambedkar. That doesn't mean that everybody is against the views of that great leader.
