Why Sarkar would borrow a mantra that lead to such bad dogmas like the caste system the dowry the untouchable the sacred cow the many Gods and so on?
Only an idiot or a thickhead would think like this.  

I would suggest that only an idiot or a "thickhead" thinks that there is some kind of necessary connection between a mantra and some dogma embraced by a number of people, not all of whom can be demonstrated to use the mantra. Can you demonstrate that this or that mantra "leads to" this or that dogma?

The very idea of the mantra is to open up your consciousness.
Consciousness is truth which is the opposite of dogma.
Is true that not all Hindus believe in such a dreadful dogmas these days but considering that the pillar of Hinduism is based on dogma why then these Hinduists that don't believe in these dogma stick with Hinduism?
I never met an Hindu that doesn't believe in these dogmas but as you say there may be some around.
But let me know if you come up with someone and someone who profess Hinduism and at the same time reject these dogmas.
If such a people exist they surely would denounce those Hindus that believe in dogmas but i never heard
of anyone who act in this way.

I always imagined he was from a small planet somewhere in the vicinity of Betelgeuse. You know - the planet of the Clangers.

Mohandas Gandhi spoke out against the dogma of untouchability.

Correct Sofa.
I had a better idea instead.
I thought ........why go to an external university when the real university is within?
All the knowledge is within so why should i look for knowledge externally?
You never thought about it Sofa, did you?  
Oh, by the way do you know that old saying..........who laugh last laugh best.
