There has to necessarily be castes, with people in the upper caste controlling the lower caste. This is very deeply rooted. In my opinion this has actually emerged from the fact that there was really no "religion" Hinduism, if you examine the origin of it, in India. It is entirely foreign (the way we see it today - the visible Hindu religion), brought in by the Aryans and the native tribal beliefs and regional societies had to make way for this foreign religion. The successes that the Aryans had in the north of India didn't really filter down to the south of India till much later. In fact by then the regional religions/ beliefs were accomodated into this mother religion (in an uncomfortable manner), as lower caste people who really didn't have much voice or rights and their duties were well laid out (there were conquered and remained slaves). Thus the temples that they could visit were different from the ones the upper caste people could visit (very evident in Kerala till recently). The real reason is because most of the lower caste temples had different dieties that were not the common ones in the upper caste temples (I would request some expert to verify this). For instance if a woman were to die in the pyre of her husband (sati-a practice very prevalent even in this modern age when her husband dies, she is forced to commit suicide by jumping into his pyre - this practice was outlawed by the British but practised still in north India), they would call her a godess and make a temple for her. These temples are generally frequented by the lower caste than the upper caste.<BR/><BR/>Thus in this highly structured society (a master - slave relationship for the most part), any attempt to give equal rights and dignity to people would be considered as suicide by the proponents of such a society. Thats why the Christians are hated so much (almost always by the upper caste), as their efforts for the upliftment of the lower caste people, in their quality of life and education is always viewed as a serious threat by them. <BR/><BR/>It is very easy to convince someone by playing the religion card (they do not see the underlying plots ofcourse!), to claim that Christians are converting by force. Let me categorically state that Catholics do not convert anybody by force, if that were the case, the whole of India should have been Christian by now! Afterall India was ruled by Christian powers (even non-Catholic) and Christianity has been in India since the time of the Apostles, even then they should have converted all of India by now!<BR/><BR/>Thus these lies are perpetuated by those people who want to retain power and position at the cost of the lower caste, whom they have been exploiting and want to continue doing so without any hinderance. The biggest joke of this matter is (which is not a laughing matter) that State Governments of India have gone ahead and declared laws to restrict religious conversions - under the fear that Christians would convert by force (forgetting the fact that if Christians wanted to do it, India would have been 100% Christian by now!), which shows their level of intelligence and how threatened they feel that their perfectly structured society (without equal rights and liberties), which is actually UNCONSTITUTIONAL. <BR/><BR/>When will the Government of India under the capable leadership of Shri Manmohan Singh realise this and take quick action (because unless strongly curbed now, it will slowly erode at the life and culture of people - eroding their votebank)?<BR/><BR/>Binoy A.
