Rajen-da,I was trying to put two and two together to see why children learn --and what effect it has on their future careers and what they excel in. As per Holt and others - children are deeply influnced what their family members do -esp if they all are in some family business or tradition. He

I am yet to find a Hindu scholar
who would say that Caste was hereditary in past. Everybody, starting from
Radhaksrishnan and all, try to defend the position that the caste system was
actually NOT hereditary in the past citing examples like you did.
But till now nobody could

Good thing you knew THAT version of the story too. I
was going be what we were told, no doubt as the truth. It will
be interesting to see if there are YET other versions of the same
truth.

OooH! Touched a raw nerve or what :-)?
But it was NOT a Bamun-bashing festival. The shoes should are for
ALL those to wear on whom they fit.
It is about the absence of the ABILITY of REFORMS, the
ability that is touted to be the strong point

Hope you all don't mind my butting in.
What have these crafty Brahmins done now?
This thing about heredity
Dear Rajen, Ram and Umesh,
As regards hereditary caste system, please consider the
frollowing few points:
Out of manyverses of Rikveda, the famous twelfth verse
of the Purusha Sukta of Rikveda sounds non-typical:
brahmana asya
mukham asit bahu rajanyakah kritah
ubdha tat asya
yad
What difference does it make what RigVeda,Geeta or ManuSamhiti said? That's all history. Today's India does not know what these scriptures said. So forget it and move on. Take it as history and your heritage, and carry on with your daily life. Dilip Himendra Thakur [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
