Mukul-da,
I agree with you entirely that in today's day and age caste and gotra etc have no meaning. However, to clarify history (definitions) in scriptures etc we were discussing.
Also, Suraj Bhan, Chairman of National Commission Scheduled Castes and Tribes has called for (with a Shankaracharya's blessings)-and perhaps initiated -efforts to revise Hindu scriptures and update them with modern times - and delete ALL references about caste esp about denigration of women, shudras etc.
I agree with that -as would any educated Hindu. There is no debate about that at all - the question is "Who will bell the cat?" - who will take up the task- and popularize it - to make it the authoritative texts for all Hindus. The new editions of ALL scriptures need to reflect this revision.
