00:00There's an age-old debate about castes in India, where some people say that it is an embodiment of systematic exploitation, while others say it is just a division of labor that got corrupted with that.
00:10Does not depend what criteria you use to divide man from man. It is bogus, full stop.
00:17Even if you need to have division of labor, why does that have to be from birth?
00:22You will never have a complete absence of duffers, you see.
00:25Even, I suppose, after 100 years from today, you will continue to have people who believe in things like purity of blood.
00:32Even in Muslims, there is a rigorous caste system.
00:34Look at the divisions in Christianity.
00:36Obviously, there you don't have untouchability and stuff.
00:39But look at the divisions and look at the violence.
00:41No point denying that it's most rampant in Hinduism, to the point that in fact became a distinctive feature of Hinduism.
00:49All that is quite bogus, doesn't matter how you want to interpret it or justify it.
00:54Just leave it to the history and museums now.
