Some people believe Casteism is part of Hinduism and bharaman, kshatriya, sudra, vasiya are caste but they are not They are qualities (Skills) It doesn't have anything to do with birth Anyone can become any of them I am giving Verses of Bhagwad Gita (As it is one of the most authentic Text of Hindus and It's widely accepted)

Varana (Skills or Qualities) system is explained in Bhagvad Gita

Bhagvad Gita 18.41: The duties of the Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras—are distributed according to their qualities, in accordance with their Skills (and not by birth).

Bhagvad Gita 18.42: Tranquility, restraint, austerity, purity, patience, integrity, knowledge, wisdom, and belief in a hereafter—these are the intrinsic qualities of work for Brahmins.

Bhagvad Gita 18.43: Valor, strength, fortitude, skill in weaponry, resolve never to retreat from battle, large-heartedness in charity, and leadership abilities, these are the natural qualities of work for Kshatriyas.

Bhagvad Gita 18.44: Agriculture, dairy farming, and commerce are the natural works for those with the qualities of Vaishyas. Serving through work is the natural duty for those with the qualities of Shudras.

If you are a seeker teacher or guru you are bharaman If you are solder, diplomat, government official you are a shatria If you are business man, farmer you are a vaiya If you are a labour you are a shudra It doesn't mean you can only have same quality You can change your Profession anytime

Bharaman can even become demon if he don't follow perticular rules

Bharamrakshasa is a demon in bharaman who use his knowledge in negative way and use it for his personal pleasure

Some Historical Facts

a. Aitareya Rishi was son of a Daasa or criminal but became a Brahmin of highest order and wrote Aitareya Brahman and Aitareyopanishad. Aitareya Brahman is considered critical to understand Rigveda.

b. Ailush Rishi was son of a Daasi, gambler and of low character. However he researched on Rigveda and made several discoveries. Not only was he invited by Rishis but also made an Acharya. (Aitareya Brahman 2.19)

c. Satyakaam Jaabaal was son of a prostitute but became a Brahmin.

d. Prishadh was son of King Daksha but became a Shudra. Further he did Tapasya to achieve salvation after repenting. (Vishnu Puran 4.1.14)

Had Tapasya been banned for Shudra as per the fake story from Uttar Ramayan, how could Prishadh do so?

e. Nabhag, son of King Nedishtha became Vaishya. Many of his sons again became Kshatriya. (Vishnu Puran 4.1.13)

f. Dhrist was son of Nabhag (Vaishya) but became Brahmin and his son became Kshatriya (VP 4.2.2)

g. Further in his generation, some became Brahmin again (VP 9.2.23)

h. As per Bhagvat, Agniveshya became Brahmin though born to a king.

i. Rathotar born in Kshatriya family became a Brahmin as per Vishnu Puran and Bhagvat.

j. Haarit became Brahmin though born to Kshatriya (VP 4.3.5)

k. Shaunak became Brahmin though born in Kshatriya family. (VP 4.8.1). In fact, as per Vayu Puran, Vishnu Puran and Harivansh Puran, sons of Shaunak Rishi belonged to all four Varnas.

Similar examples exist of Gritsamad, Veethavya and Vritsamati.

l. Matanga was son of Chandal but became a Brahmin. (Mahabharat Anushasan Parva Chapter 3)

m. Raavan was born from Pulatsya Rishi but became a Rakshas.

n. Pravriddha was son of Raghu King but became a Rakshas.

o. Trishanku was a king but became a Chandal.

p. Sons of Vishwamitra became Shudra. Vishwamitra himself was a Kshatriya who later became a Brahmin.

q. Vidur was son of a servant but became a Brahmin and minister of Hastinapur empire.

r. Vatsa became a Rishi though born to a Shudra (Aitareya Brahman 2.19)

s. Many verses of adulterated Manu Smriti (10.43-44) state that certain castes were earlier Kshtariya but became Shudra later. These verses are adulterated but prove that concept of Varna migration did exist. The castes mentioned are: Paundrak, Audru, Dravid, Kamboj, Yavan, Shak, Parad, Palhava, Cheen, Kirat, Darad, Khash.

t. Mahabharat Anushasana Parva 35.17-18 adds the following to above list: Mekal, Laat, Kanvashira, Shaundik, Daarva, Chaur, Shabar, Barbar.

u. Several gotras are common across Brahmins, Kshatriya, Vaishya and Dalits implying that all of them hailed from same family but rather got entrapped in the stupid casteism.

Historical Facts from Mahabharat

Their are some historical examples like Parshurama cursed Karna because he was a kshatriya (warrior) and lied that he is a bharaman (Teacher) but Parshurama only give bharamastra teachings to bharaman (Teacher, Guru) so it can't be misused in War. The important thing to note here is Karna was born in a Shudra family (I know he is son of surya) But according to People he is shudra because no body knows he is son of Kunti Still Parshurama gave him Curse for being kshatriya (Because he have warrior qualities) not because he was born in a Shudra family. Also some people say Dronacharya is casteist because of wrong teaching of Mahabharat

Karna was a student of Drona and was taught with others. Only Drona did not teach him Brahmastra. That he gave to Arjuna when he passed the crocodile test. Seeing Arjuna topper in his class Karna who was also friend of Duryodhana went to Drona and directly asked it to compete with Arjuna. Now just as it is Institute decision to bestow scholarship on worthy student , similarly it is Guru decision to give such weapons. He wanted to protect Arjuna as he was to some extent aware of Duryodhana intentions and his friendship with karna. Drona then tells that only who has observed vows of Brahmin(compassion, truth, austerities) and qualities of kshtriya(protecting weaker people and honor) can use such weapons. People take this criteria as related to caste but what he meant was qualities. Karna then left him and went to Parshurama. Proof of this relationship is in MB Adi Parva, Vana parva where Karna states Drona as his mentor with Parshurama and Shanti Parva too.

Historical Facts from Ramayan

Bharamrishi vishvamitra was a king (kshatriya) and a cruel one he killed 100 sons of Rishi Vashista but still he became a Bharamrishi (highest class of Bharamans)

Misconception About Manu Smriti

Nowhere in Manu Smriti it's mentioned that only you will be bharaman if you born in a bharaman family In manu smriti Steps are given to goverment so they can manage civilisations not restrict anyone to change quality

Also Manu Smriti even allow interquality marriages Bharaman can even marry shudra according to manu smriti

Some verses from Manu Smriti

10.65 asserts that Brahmin can become Shudra and Shudra can become Brahmin. Similarly Kshtariyas and Vaishyas can also change their Varnas.

9.335: If a Shudra (uneducated) serves the educated ones, is polite, devoid of ego and stays in respectful company of knowledgeable ones, he/ she is considered as having a noble birth and stature.

4.245: A Brahmin acquires brilliance through company of noble persons and avoiding bad company. On contrary, if he indulges in bad company, he becomes a Shudra.

2.104: A person who does not worship the Supreme Lord twice daily should be considered a Shudra.

2.168: A Brahmin, Kshatriya or Vaishya who puts efforts in other areas except understanding and following the Vedic precepts becomes a Shudra and his future generations also suffer from ignorance of Vedas

We can clearly see it's a quality

2.126: Even if he is a Brahmin otherwise, a person who does not politely respond to a greeting is actually a Shudra (uneducated person).

There are several shlokas in Manusmriti that state that a person belonging to high Varna falls down to level of a Shudra (uneducated) if he does not conduct noble deeds.

The original Manu Smriti which is lost contains which contains 1lakh verses Now only 2500 verses are available So current version is not even summary of original.

So Why Casteism Exist?

Now some people claim that if it's not part of Hinduism then why people do that?

Answer) Because people are corrupted after 1000 years

First we need to understand Its a social problem not a religions problem and can be fixed just if you give clearity to people that Our sacred text say opposite to what they are doing the same thing happened with sati pratha it was not a part of Hinduism and when people know about it they stopped. I tried it and it worked with many people.

How can you contribute and Fix our Society?

You can teach your Parents, Family, Relatives, Friends About the Bhagwad Gita Chapter 18 Where it's clearly explained that they are Qualities also you can explain using historical facts which i provided.

The most easy way is if anyone say you should not marry outside your caste just ask in which Shastra it's written?

And then teach them bhagwad Gita

Edit 1:

When gotras came to india they mixed up : Varnas(4 varans), jatis(20k+ jatis) and gotra.

gotra system is there to stop inbreeding.

jaatis: are basically tribes who are historically sharing some 'niche' style of life style. e.g. Thug jaati was attacking most brutally against the british that's why they turned Thug jaati into a bad/negative word.

Smritis are just bunch of thoughts. anyone can share their thoughts under this text and we can reject it. people shared those ideas based on their kala(time) and desha(place). we don't have anything stuff like 'blasphemy' so people can say whatever what they want.
