Caste system in India

Dear Readers I am surprise to see a lot of debate on caste system specially in Bihar. Presently I am in USA. You must accept that India has passed the phase at which USA is passing presently. People from all over the world are coming and settling down here. In the same way about2000-3000 may be more because of geophysical conditions in Gangetic belt was superb according to that time, people from every part of the world were attracted to our homeland as is happening with USA. The position obtained by a particular group totally depended upon there performance. Therfore it is immaterial telling some body is low and somebody is high. In fact all the INDOAERIAN Groups came from out side the India. Furthwer about Chanaky and Bhumihars if you are interested you should go through the book written by Great traveller and writer Rahul Sankrtityanyan who happened to be brahmin by birth but later changed to Budhist. He has very thoroughly mentioned about the cast system of India. As you know once upon the time almost 80% of Indian population was Budhist. AND THE BRAHMINS WHO COnverted to Budhist called Bhumihar brahmins and Kurmi are the people who converted from Kshatriya of that time. In the present time it should never be the matter of petty fights on these minor issues. History will tell every thing. Gopal
