  1. The caste system as some people look at it (negatively) is the result of British influence. Dividing people into various groups was just normal and helpful in the past before the British came. It's not like you were locked into poverty forever or anything. Also, reincarnation is hardly limited to India. Most of the world accepts reincarnation except for the Abrahamic religions, but even with them, there are many people who believe in reincarnation. In fact, early Christians believed in reincarnation, but the belief was disadvantageous for the Roman Empire, as if you don't believe you'll die, you are more fearless than others. The Roman Empire summoned all of the early Christian leaders, asked them to bring their written scripture, and then burned anything to do with reincarnation. You said you tried to go to India. Try again. Stay a while. Learn from the inside out, not the biased western interpretations.
