  1. Foreign Invasions.. Hint.. Hint.. Arabs.. African Slavery.. Europeans.. Racism

  2. I think Islamic Invasions corrupted the Caste system. The Arabs were known at that time of being "Slave Traders" all over Africa. They were the ones who probably introduced a Discriminatory form of Caste system. British came over and assumed it was always like this.

  3. They were Philosophers, Aryabhatta invented Concept of Zero, Bhaskara made Astronomical Observations, Sushruta invented Medical Surgical Techniques. Brahmins (So called Priests) did not sit there praying to Gods, they were making Discoveries and advancing Society.

  4. No Muslims in India during Alexander's time, Islam had not yet existed. Megasthenes lived 150 years after Alexander's time period.

  5.  @SalmanKhan-dn9wb  Arabs were involved in African Slave trade. Racism was a Common feature in Medieval Europe. Yet, We don't talk about this and only talk about the Caste system in India. Why ? We all know Arabs and Europeans invaded India and rule for 1000 Years, What if their Habits and Culture had a Direct influence on the Caste system to evolve it into the discriminative form we know of ?

  7. Yet another proof that Caste system was based on Professions, not a Societal Standing like we are made to believe by Communist Historians who re-wrote Indian history to suit their "Marxist" Agenda of pitting Peasants against Ruling Class.

  8. Sorry, No Such thing as Aryans ever existed in History. There is no Proof of any - Currency, City, Burial Mounds, Kings, Heros, Fairytales, Archaeological Records, Scriptures, Pottery, Carving to prove existence of Aryans. This only means one thing - Aryans were never real, British invented them !!!

  9. I'm sorry but you don't know Hinduism well enough then. There are 4 Kinds of Burials mentioned in Mahabharata by Bheeshma to Yudhistira while teaching him "Dharma" before he dies on the bed of arrows - Burials based on 4 elements of Nature - Earth, Fire, Water and Aakasha. Examples of each one : Sage Trishanku buried in Aakasha, Rama offered himself to Ocean, Sita offered herself to Earth, Fire Burials are the normal ones practices by Hindus today.

  13. Nope, This is the age of Hindu Golden Ages - Gupta Era where Buddhist influence was minimal. Buddhism was restricted to few regions in North India. Buddhists always were small minority in India, Not exceeding more than 5%. Infact Hindu Kingdoms funded and kept Buddhist Religon alive by helping build Stupa and Libraries. HIndu Kingdoms like Rashtrakuta, Chalukya, Parmara, Lauhitya, Pala gave huge donations to construction of Buddhist Cave Art like Ellora and maintaining Nalanda University.

  15. It came with British and Portugese. "Castas" is a spanish origin word. Those days Europeans were dealing with African Slave Trade. So they were racist and passed on their racism to Indians.

  16.  @мувн-ш4ы  Gandhara was Ancient name of Afghanistan. It is mentioned in Mahabharata that Princess of Gandhara married Kuru King - Dhritaraashtra. A Wife's Kingdom was considered the same as her Husband's. So Afghanistan was part of Ancient India. But in this video, During Era of Alexander, India had lost Afghanistan to Invasion of Shaka (Scythians) from Central Asia and Persians (Rise of Persian Empire around this time). After Alexander left India, Maurya Empire re-conquered these areas of Sindh (Pakistan) and Gandhara (Afghanistan). It also included Sri Lanka (Sinhala) and Myanmar (Champa).

  19. Google - Trojans and how they were probably an Ancient Indian Empire. Trojans were famous for - Archery, 13 Day Ceremonies, Sun Worship, Horse worship all were basically similar to Ancient Indians. Indian ceremonies for the Dead, even today takes place for 13 days and there were elaborate ceremonies around Horses and worshiping them in Ancient India.

  20. All these were never written, Preserved orally by Brahmins.

  21. Just because we discuss about how Caste system was functional and working in the past, Doesn't mean we want today. In Ancient days, it seems to work, that's the Truth. You can't call it racism, Back then all Nations had such a system, As this video suggests, It might not have been discriminatory at all.

  22. There are tales of Ancient Hindu Sages of past who meditated for Years without eating or drinking anything, They would scour out a Location and sit there and meditate. They are involved in Deep Meditation (Equivalent to Hibernation). Yoga is said to enable People to reach this Stage of Meditation by drastically lower their Metabolism, This state is called Samadhi (The Buried Grave State). Bodhi Dharma (Damo) sounds familiar ? He did the same thing !!! You can believe it or not, That's upto you but its actually mentioned in Hindu Scripture. Buddha actually attempts doing this and fails and that is why he comes up with the "Middle Path" - Eat just enough to survive, Neither too much nor too little..

  23. Proponents of Aryan - Dravidian race theory won't like hearing it..
