“Why do non-brahmin hindus put up with this implied insult to their heritage by "being offered a chance to become brahmin" is beyond me!!”

for the same reason….. every “purelander” paki wants to become “puesdo arab syed”………

Hindu caste system is never static… great sages were non- Brahmans… valmiki who compiled Ramayan was a hunter by birth , Vyas who compiled Mahabharat was born to woman plying boats. Great sage Vishwamitra was a Kshatriya .

There have been many instances in the past where non- brahmans have become brahmans. Any system needs fresh blood to sustain itself.

If non – Brahman people who can follow basic Brahman tenets , be called accepted by the society at large as brahmans……. Then no-body can accuse Hinduism of having a “oppressive caste” system

If you look at Goa matrimonial advertisements , you can find Christians proclaiming their caste, Brahman, kshatriya, kunbi………..

Christians in Goa still pay respect to their family dieties..

"Last year I was a Julaha (weaver); this year a Shaikh; and next year if the harvest be good, I shall be a Sayyid.".

this shows a muslims can aspire to become an “pseudo arab’… if he has the requisite amount of money / stature.

Only a person Julaha or a similar placed caste would like to become a “pseudo arab’….. where as jat,arian,kashmiri, or a gujjar… seem to be satisfieed retaining their caste.

Caste ssytem is present in islam in indian subcontinent ….. only that one can be upwardly mobile.
……….

“Those who have full faith in the very straightforward basics of Islam (One true God called Allah, Prophet Muhammad His last Prophet, Quran Allah's last word), should immediately convert to Islam. Those who don't or can't get that faith, should immediately convert out of Islam.”


What can be said of islam can be said of the north korean system too ( one system called Juche, “Great leader” who started it…. “dear leader”… the current prophet)…………

One more common about both systems is that whoever wants to leave the system is dealt with death sentence.

“Why? Because you cannot argue with success. While Muslims and non-Muslims are killing each other all over the non-Muslim world, minrorities in Islamic world are truely, in a real sense, satisfied and harmonized with their Muslim brethren”……

He must be talking about saudi arabia……. Incidently North Korea has less incidents of crimes than any islamic country …… It would be better to follow the “dear leader”
