@cordisdie8109 Should one judge a philosophy by it's inherent principles or by those who might misrepresent the philosophy? Assuming what you say is true about Europe and Catholicism, those practices go against the inherent principles of Judeochristianity.
"He that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.”
- Exodus 21:16
"The meek shall inherit the earth"
- Psalams 37:11
"He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor."
- Proverbs 14:31
"Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free. And, YE MASTERS DO THE SAME THINGS unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; NEITHER IS THERE RESPECT OF PERSONS WITH HIM."
- Ephesians 6:5-9
"I am black and beautiful." - Song of Solomon 1:5
Also, the entire Judeochristian tradition revolves around a poor Egyptian refugee being oppressed and crucified by the rich and powerful.
“For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.”
- 2 Corinthians 8:9
Let's compare that to the Hindu Manusmurti and the Buddhist Lotus Sutra:
"A Brahmin can order a Shudra to serve him without any remuneration because the Shudra is created by Brahma to serve the Brahmins. Even if a Brahmin frees a Shudra from slavery the Shudra continues to be a slave as he is created for slavery. Nobody has the right to free him."
- Manusmurti VIII-50,56 and 59
"Reincarnated Buddhas will never be black."
- Lotus Sutra, Rejoicing in Merit & Virtue `18
Japan does have a mercantile advantage, but it was built largely by Christians from the US. After we nuked them at the end of WWII, we developed their economy by giving them our cars (American invention), our electrical engineering (American invention), and our computers (American invention) so that we can use them as a military base and keep China under control. Japan is the second largest contributor to the UN, located in New York, US. Japan was suffering from a famine under the Shogunate during the Christian persecution which ultimately led the UK (a Christian nation) to support the Emperor and destroy the Shogunate during the Boshin War. Today, Japan's most popular anime, Neon Genesis Evangelion, is based on the Judeochristian tradition. Nasrani Indians are the wealthiest and most educated group in Kerala and even hold power over much of the tourism and medical industry in the state. Karnataka has a more strategic position for oil imports on the Arabian Sea yet Kerala is still superior.
It depends on which map your using and at what time in history. At it's height under Darius Xerxes at around 500 BC, it stretched from Ethiopia to India. The archeological and biblical record both agree. The Mahājanapadas were succeeded partly by the Achaemenid Empire:
"Now it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus, which reigned, from India even unto Ethiopia, over an hundred and seven and twenty provinces"
- Esther 1:1
Marx was a raging anti-semite and anti-black:
"It is clear by the hair of his head that he is a descendant of the n***ers who accompanied Moses' Exodus from Egypt."
- Karl Marx
Ambedkar wasn't a Hindu, he was Buddhist.
Judeochristianity is anti-slavery. Obviously the whole point of the Exodus was the abolition of slavery:
"He that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.”
- Exodus 21:16
“Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.”
- Galatians 5:1
In conclusion, you should judge a philosophy by it's principles, not by it's supposed adherents.
“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.”
- Matthew 7:15

3:58 "Originally, castes were defined through 'Varna', a word that in the Sanskrit language translates as 'color'. Although, in this case, it does not refer to skin but to social classification."
It does refer to skin also. You find this in Hinduism and Buddhism. The entire Sanatan Dharma is anti-black. Just read the Lotus Sutra:
"Reincarnated Buddhas will never be black."
- Lotus Sutra, Rejoicing in Merit & Virtue 18
"जिह्वापि तस्य न कदाचि दुःखति न तस्य दन्ता पतिता भवन्ति ।
श्यामाथ पीता विषमा च जातु बीभत्सितोष्ठो न च जातु भोति ॥ ११ ॥"
Here, "श्याम" or Syama means "swarthy" in reference to skin tone. None of the sutras use the term just for class/caste. The term "कृष्ण" or Krsna, like in the Hindu God of Destruction, Krishna, is used for decay, corruption, disease, and the swarthy untouchable caste in general. It's even worse in the Manusmurti. This is why Hindu and Buddhist Indians, especially women, are always trying to bleach their skin. Meanwhile, Nasrani Indians, especially in the South, embrace their black skin tone.
"I am black and beautiful."
- Song of Solomon 1:5
