Ask Rajiv : Varna Jati caste 

Loved the young boy talking in public and in his school regarding CASTE. Thats what is expected by Rajiv ji.

Pranaam Rajeev jee .Thank you for answering these nagging questions in apt and logical answers 🎉🎉.

Based On this book we have organised several debates across Country . If Rajiv Malhotra ji gives us time we can organise it on 14 April in front of 6-8 lacs people so called Dalits.

As always very logical and succinct pranam to Rajivji🙏🏻

caste is avery rigid western concept responsible for conflict where as Our is Varna or Jati which is more closely related to community which has people of specific characteristics and fluid in nature and hence almost no conflicy but complements eachother

Can we take legal route to sue schools that teach wrong information about Hindu varna system?

Dear Infinity Foundations. This video is a goldmine and should sincerely be repurposed as youtube shots. Rajiji's answers are so crisp and perfect and I hope to see each of them as mini shots for better reach and easier digestible content. :D

27:59 Good idea, but even better- give the books to classmates ahead of time and let the teachers make fools of themselves. Kids' minds matter more.

Jai Shri Ram, Rajiv ji.

Superb work of rajiv malhotra ❤

Great work for Hindu sanatana dharama I salute you God bless you

I bought this book and read two times. Book is really informative as well as valuable. But major problem of English, person who are dogmatic for cast unable to understand English and English knowing people has no problem for cast. That is why book is not valuable for cast supporting mind, So sorry, to say reality of so called intelluactual class who want to lead them against reality of education 🙏

जय हो

Audio is poor. I am not able to hear even at highest volume.

आप अच्छा काम कर रहे हैं राजीव जी

Not directed at anyone who spoke during this interaction but please stop being apologist. That is where we start.

Unless the Hindus unite & not discriminate amongst themselves & the different castes and sub castes, anti Hindu Propaganda & Brahmin Hate cannot be overcome!. Even amongst Brahmins, the Smarthas & the dark skinned are discriminated. Even the Smartha God Shiva is considered a lesser God by many Vaishnava Brahmins & they feel superior. To cite an example, in US, one Vaishnava Brahmin lady ( employed in IT & trained in Music ) told me, her husband doesn't want her to sing songs on Shiva, as Shiva ate "Pillai Curry" ( as per the legend of Bhaktha Siriyala ) & she said "what we worship that we become". Can you believe the narrow mindedness ? There is so much subtle discrimination amongst the Indian community that I have personally seen even in US based on the caste & sub caste. Unless the upper castes totally accept & acknowledge the problem & work towards eradicating the discrimination, there can be no true solution.

I would like to see RM debate with Harsh M on this topic.

facts

Can I say that I do not have any caste, same way an individual can say he or she has no religion?

There were 4 Varnas/Professions. [Common Civilians (Shudras), Traders (Vaishyas), Warriors (Kshatriyas), Teachers (Brahmins)] Learn these terms properly: (1) Varna/Profession (2) Lineage/Gotra/Vansh (3) Tribe/State/Jati/Province/Desh/Group (4) Nation/Rashtra/Civilization (5) Caste/Breed/Race

Manu was Kashtriya (he was ruler)

Does it mean division of castes exist depending on the work/vocation one carries but one cannot label himself any particular caste then why is government going on classsification reservation based on catste

Pranam,Rajiv Ji! Your contributions are from a person- Yugpurush! You are really the person to break the absurdity created by pseudo seculars and biased media, about caste system and wokism. We wish you all the success on the occasion of Mahashivratri! Mahadev Bless Us All! JAI VAASUDEV KUTAMBUKAM!

Buddhists didn't get "wiped out" - they got Nirvana and obviously that was the purpose. That's why they are not around. They had a single-pointed focus towards it. On the other hand, Hindus aren't really sadhakas, they just follow a bunch of traditional rituals, putting water on shivlingam and believe that the job is done. This way moksha can never come even in a thousand years. There is no focus, no sense of purpose and no vision - just following "Indian culture" as if it was created by somebody else, and you have to follow it without internalization.

26:00 - What?? 😂 If you are so intelligent what on earth are you doing in the US?? You should be in your own country which should be developed like the US.

We should use the correct terms - Varna and Jaati - instead of Caste. There is nothing like "caste" in India; we have Varna and Jaati. If we use the correct words, we can have a more meaningful and honest debate.

Rajivji must explain us and clear the air regarding SC/ST and their social status of indebted poverty? Why obcs are always rendered useless given the community which is the skeletal framework of indian society but largely ignored?

Any place in India which has non dalit working in janitorial jobs?

Sir justifying social evils like birth based caste system or untouchability won't give amy positive outcomes .reforms in hindu society will only work .

I think the whole idea of this caste being brought up in western society is to bring reservation/diversity program in US universities and workspace! Like how they have diversity programs for blacks and LGBTQs

Christian Missionaries are busy converting Hindus & the ISKCON Jewish Vaishnavas are offering a non denominational brand of Vaishnavism & in the name of being all inclusive they are making huge profits & they are a non profit org in India & the GBC supposedly does not have any Indian Nationals. Unless there is non discrimination between the different Jatis & Varnas of Hinduism, conversions will continue to thrive & ISKCON type Mandirs will Proliferate to the detriment of Sanathana Dharma.

Varna is color as Varnashram is Spectrum of four colors essentially division of labour on basis of natural instinct evolved by traditional skill as have been going on hundred centuries.West tend to distort fact by implied intention Thus, India become home of unique social groups in all vocation to academia during vedic era . A freedom of profession, as all mod3rn interview pannel locate candidate by aptitudes test to testify hidden instincts only.

Forget about caste doesn’t he claim some aryan descent ? Indo aryans linking to some Europeans? Aryan just means Iranian, so why are Iranians refugees that escaped the conquest of Iran by the Muslims during the 7/8century and came to the Indian subcontinent as refugees/ conquerors masquerading as Hindus ? just like when the Roman Empire was ending , the romans were conquered by a group of people who were running away from the Eurasian plains because others tribes had displaced them and don’t Iranians follow Zoroastrians , they have completely appropriated the sub continent’s history and culture and all those Veda’s were modified and written only later inserting themselves into the stories and calming caste superiority based on colour, , well a bhramin is some one who is fair to look at , does not turn into hunuman when left unshaven and unwaxed and does not emit foul body body ordour, attribute the people of Nepal and people it the bhramputras basin posses but the same people who left that way and practice at at the time of Buddhas teaching, that’s why we see bhramin practice in Burma and other south East Asian countries change from the caste system to har har mahadev and bhuddism. And unlike Iraninams who revived the old system , when they migrated as refugees m/ conquerors during the 7/8 century, well conquerors write history or shall we say rewrite history Even the rajouts were only given a Varna when they had conquered rajhastan meaning the children of kings they were given that khastria status only during the 16 century ad and with the support of the British. And most of todays people having bhramin status and surnames were only given that by the British and some at the time of Aurangzeb when he supported a started the Krishna bhakt , to make it easier to divide and rule , anyway a surname does not a bhramin make ! The original bhramins who were displaced from north india still are called bhramoutras meaning the children of god. And still live in the bhrmaputra valley . But we still see the Iranian who control Bollywood trying to perpetrate skin colour superiority , though they don’t posses the two other vital attributes by portraying Demons and evil people in all tv programs as dark or looking like South Indians and gods and good ppl as Iranian/ aryan. The complet approation is just hilarious like when the mongols converted to Islam when the had conquered those lands because it was convinent to rule the Muslim. All over the world we see new people coming in and conquering the locals and adopting and converting to the regions local practice because it is easier to rule the said people but these aryan/ Iranian claiming some superiority are just hilarious, not yet evolved enough to be a bhramin 😂and completely approximating the out side form like even coping the “Chinese pig tail” hair style leaves me rolling on the ground with laughter, So in the old ways people discriminate on basis of being fair to look at , does not turn into hunuman when left unshaved and unwaxed and bodies does not emit foul body ordour and that hair style does not belong to you all, Guess the Iranians can copy the hair style. and given some of them are fair like some Iranian people of Nepal after marrying into the local population but some of their parents are still brown they sadly still do not have the other attributes of not turning into hunuman and bodies not emitting foul body ordour, and the originals left that way of discrimination at the teaching of bhudda, Most Veda’s also written later in Sanskrit and sanskrit was invented much later south u dian languages and skript much older 😂 Guess that’s why one finds bhramin dna in all tribal peoples and other people all the way to south India,😂😂😂a It’s still funny to see Iranian claiming all god and practice and masuurading as bhramins and Hindus but keeping the main component of zorastra and his fire rituals 😂😂😂😂

Jatis were a form of decentralized self-governance and self-support system wherein each member of the society adhered to the norms of the society and provided for the security and wellbeing of its members it was a kind of self help self insurance mechanism for its members. The word “caste” has its origins in Latin (castus), which means chaste or pure. Caste made its way into the Indian lexicon with the arrival of the Portuguese in the 1700s. Due to low productivity and short growing period Europe relied heavily on slaves and bonded labor. Slaves were brought into Europe from different parts of the worlds mostly from Africa and Asia but the Church made it sure to keep the Christian lands and Christian bloods pure. This was done by castrating male slaves so that they could not reproduce and by killing or castration of mixed race off-springs of female slaves. Destruction of Indic Self Governance and self support system was done through the Mapping of European feudal and caste system on Indian social order. During this colonial era, a cash crop economy was introduced in Africa and India, and this was administered through harsh methods that alienated the King and his chiefs from the rest of the population. Fuedal system exercised strict control over the land through the exploitation of labor or tenants of the land. It introduced debt bondage and indentured servitude with similarities to and differences from slavery. European social hierarchy or caste system was established serving the purpose of British into Indian legal and administration system. Until Mughal Era the zamindars were not proprietors resulting in less productivity and revenue collections. The East India Company under Lord Cornwallis, realising this, made Permanent Settlement in 1793 with the zamindars and made them proprietors of their land in return for a fixed annual rent and left them independent for the internal affairs of their estates. Church through its policy of terra nullius uprooted natives of forest land and destroyed their culture and civilization in order to exploit their resources. Varna system was the theoretical basis and model for social and professional order conceived for the smooth functioning of the Society and its governance. However in reality Jatis determined the true social order it had its own system of ruling it formed the most abundant, customary and practical form of social order on ground. Jatis framed their own rules and regulations for managing the conduct of its members and establishing relationship with other Jatis as well as the sovereign ruler. Jatis were further subdivided into SUBJATIS on the basis of economic, social criterion.

The concept of hereditary Caste division itself is not Indian, it's a superimposition of the Spanish/Portuguese caste system and the English Class system in India, intending to divide the natives and use them against each other while the English hold power and work as a mediator. Caste was a pyramid scheme that European Missionaries sold to Indians via their Christian Missionary schooling imposition in Indian society to divide and conquer. So don’t mix up Varna with Gotram, Varna is Profession, and Gotram is Lineage. Hindus are free to marry in different Varnas, only avoid marrying in the same Gotram because it is considered the same bloodline, hence we don’t marry between brothers and sisters.

Caste or Jati is so ingrained in Indian Society that it plays an important role in Indian Politics today. In US, the relevance of Jati may manifest in different ways.

Tell me why obc, sc, st are only poor....? Why tribal are called adivasis/mulnivasis? Aren't obcs are the one real sons of the soil who are fortunately correct in believing and practicing advaita philosophy which is the sound concept of God/deitiesand all?
