So there is an obvious "caste" in human life, and the fact that traditional Vedic culture acknowledges it, while democratic countries are proud of the fact that "anybody can become President" (even a degenerate moron like Dumbya), does not mean that the caste system, properly understood and lived is a means of "discrimination and exploitation" - - it may be discrimination (which is, after all, what intellect is all about), but it is not exploitative, but allows the fastest possible progress in human life and the greatest good for all. I am aware of all the abuses attributed to the current caste system in India, but that is a function of the low level of consciousness lived there now, and does not intrinsically discredit the caste system.
