This is what I wrote about the Hindu Caste System

Dear Sir, the four types of work - pursuit of divinity, governance, business and labour will exist in any system. It will exist in the US, in the UK, in Pakistan, in Sri Lanka, nay even in China! ...

Lord Krishna is beautiful and brilliant beyond imagination and He is beyond the ability of our highly limited intellect and sick mind. Let us please pay respect to Him and not cast Him (God) in bad light.

Every cause will have an effect. Every action will bear fruit, good and bad. Every soul has to take multiple births according to its Karmic tendencies. The Hindu religion never said the Brahmins are always superior, in fact it warns that good actions lead to good results and evil actions result in evil results. No politician or king can alter this "cause and effect" situation. An evil brahmana and a good "sudra" will reap evil and good results respectively. A brahmana may be born as a Vaishya and a Vaishya may become a Kshatriya in his/her next birth. Let us not be shallow in our thinking and cast aspersions on the great Hindu Philosophy.

There are only two sections of people in this world. They are the good and the godly and the evil and the demoniacal. Good will prevail over evil. Sathyameva Jayathe. The Hindus will overcome any type of difficulties because they never harmed anyone and they are the followers of Ahimsa, Dharma and Sath Karma!
