How very spiritual and enlightened. Couldn't imagine, other than a dispatch from the cosmos itself, how such a system might have originated.....Lol, that is a pretty accurate summation of the caste system. But just a little clarification, the priests or brahmins are not at the top, the "rishis" are...
That's being abandoned by hindus of late in any case. Amusingly, christians (in India) seemed to stick with the caste system (or conversely abandon it) at approximately the same rate as hindus. Talk about a crossover act.
As for the crossover, all religions learn from each other to attract followers, it's just that they almost always learn the worst BS from each other. I hope this time at least they can learn from each others mistakes.
