Understanding the Caste Notion!
"There can, under these conditions, be no
freedom that is worthwhile unless the mind is
trained to use its freedom. (Given this fact) the right
of man to education becomes fundamental to his
freedom. Deprive a man of knowledge and you
will make him inevitably the slave of those more
fortunate than himself.... deprivation of
knowledge is a denial of the power to use liberty
for great ends. An ignorant man may be free.
...(But) he cannot employ his freedom so as to give
him assurance of happiness." --Pg-39 Vol -III

Education every one must have. Means of defence every
one must have. These are the paramount requirements of
every man for his self-preservation. How can the fact that
his neighbour is educated and armed, help a man who is
uneducated and disarmed. The whole theory is absurd.
These are the questions, which the defenders of
Chaturvarnya do not seem to be troubled about. But they
are very pertinent questions. …On account of the
Chaturvarnya they could receive no education. They could
not think out or know the way to their salvation. They were
condemned to be lowly and not knowing the way of escape
and not having the means of escape, they became
reconciled to eternal servitude, which they accepted as
their inescapable fate. --Pg-70, Vol-III


Although this may be true yet it cannot be
difficult to separate the essential and fundamental
features of caste from its non-essential and
superficial features. An easy way to ascertain this
is to ask, „What are the matters for which a person
is liable to be excluded from caste‟. --Pg-142


The Social Organism of
India, the play of its motive
forces, is moreover, regulated
infinitely more by
customs, carrying according
to locality and baffling is its
complexity.
--Pg-131

The existence of a Prayaschita and the
absence of it have a significance which
must be clearly understood. -- Pg-143

A Caste may be defined as a Social
group having a) Belief in Hindu
Religion and bound by certain
regulations as to b) Marriage, c)
Food, d) Occupation. A social group
having a Common Name by which it is
recognized.
Probe must be a continuous process! --Pg-144, Vol-III 9

“There is only one period in Indian
history, which is a period of freedom, greatness
and glory. That is the period of the Mourya
Empire. At all other times the country suffered
from defeat and darkness. But the Mourya
period was a period when Chaturvarnya was
completely annihilated, when the
Shudras, who constituted the mass of the
people, came into their own and became the
rulers of the country.” --Dr. Babasaheb
Ambedkar, Pg-63

“Turn in any direction you
like, Caste is the Monster that
crosses your path. You cannot
have Political Reform, you can
not have Economic
Reform, unless you kill this
Monster. Probe must be a continuous process! 11
--Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar.

“Caste is a notion; it is a state
of the mind. The destruction
of Caste does not mean the
destruction of a physical
barrier. It means a notional
change. Then, Caste will cease
to be an operative force.”
--Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar.

You will have to do two things: --
1. To enlarge your minds, your
vision, your capacity to think, your
ability to solve problems; and
2. To bring that capacity, that
vision, that ability to form judgement
to bear upon the actual
problems, which the vast mass of the
people of this country are facing today.
--Vol.17(III), Pg-377

Caste--Web of Castes--Culture of Castes--Process of De-Caste--Situation of Castelessness!

The Caste!
Web of Castes!
Culture of Castes!
Process of De-Caste!
Situation of Castelessness!

1. An Enclosed Class? Caste has a divine basis--the sacredness of social
order.
2. A Notion, or a State of Mind?
3. Spirit of Inequality?
4. Spirit of Isolation? The significance of a separate name for a Caste lies in
this –namely it makes caste an organized and an involuntary grouping.
A separate and a distinctive name for a caste make caste asking to a
corporation with a perpetual existence and a seal of separate entity.
5. Communities are placed in an ascending scale of reverence and
descending scale of contempt?
6. Caste Notion is Anti-social, Anti-Human, and Anti-National in its
character?
7. It is Superstitions, Obsolete Traditional Beliefs and Rationales, and So
on?
8. A System of Perverse Superstition?
“Father could not help it and the son could not cure it.”

Five Factors to Study the Caste Phenomena in India, and vice verse:

Factors for Caste to be studied---
1. History of Caste.
2. Sociology of Caste.
3. Economy of Caste.
4. Psychology of ity
5. Geography of Caste.
Role of Reasoning in Choice of Identity---
1. Personal Identity.
2. Social Identity.
3. Qualifying Identity of Four Varnas.
4. Qualifying Identity of Citizenship.
5. To Be Human Identity.


A Social Group having a Common Name by which it is
recognized? To put it differently the object was to elevate and
ennoble every Brahmin, however mean and worthless he may
be, to the high status occupied by some of them on account of the
virtue. It was an attempt to ennoble the whole of the Brahmin
Community without exception.That this was the object of
Brahmanism is clear from Manu's ordinances. Manu knew that
making Varna hereditary, the most ignorant Brahmin will be
elevated to the status occupied by the most learned Brahmin.
He feared that the former may not be respected as much as the
most learned, which was the object of this attempt at the
ennoblement of the whole class of Brahmins. Manu is very
much concerned about the ignorant Brahmin--a new thing and
warns people against being disrespectful to an ignorant and
mean Brahmin. --(Pg-288-289,aVolume-3) process!

The Caste is a highly organized as well as an
involuntary grouping. And it is subjected to
Social Regulations and Traditions of the Caste
over which he/she (Human Being) has no control.
--A Hindu is born in a caste and dies as a
member of that caste. There is no Hindu
without Caste, cannot escape caste and being
bounded by caste from birth to death he
becomes subject to social regulations and
traditions of the caste over which he has no
control. -- Pg-145, Vol-III

Caste-Nature:
1. “Father could not help it and the son could
not cure it.” --Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar

2. “Caste is a double-edged sword cutting
both ends.” –Hon. Kanshiramji

3. “Caste is another name of Unthinkingnss
or Inside-the-box-thinking.” --Dheemant P R Ambedkar

Caste devitalizes a man. It is a process
of sterilization. Education, Wealth and
Labour, are all necessary for every
individual if he is to reach a free and full
manhood. Mere Education without
wealth and labour is barren. Wealth
without education and labour is brutal.
Each is necessary to every one. They are
necessary for the growth of a man/
women.

1. The Brahmin alone has created the
Caste/the Culture of Castes by
adopting different means along
with religious sanctions into the
Beneficiaries of System and the
Victims (Shudras and Atishudras) of
the System.


2. The Beneficiaries of the Caste
System have created the Caste / the
Culture of Castes with the Purpose
of Ruling over the mass of this
country.


3. Manu, Sapta-Rishis, Brahmins, Manavantar and
Gurukul:
Manu knew that making Varna hereditary, the most
ignorant Brahmin will be elevated to the status
occupied by the most learned Brahmin. He feared
that the former may not be respected as much as the
most learned which was the object of this attempt
at the ennoblement of the whole class of
Brahmins. Manu is very much concerned about the
ignorant Brahmin—a new thing and warns people
against being disrespectful to an ignorant and
mean Brahmin. (Pg-288-289, Volume-3)


4. Writers of Dharma-Shastras have
created and implemented the
modus operandi about the Varnas
and Castes to become/perpetuate
it as Hereditary and Sacred.

1. To Benefit and Value for the Upper
Castes (Brahmins, Kshatriya and Banias)
and to Victimize and Suppress the
Bahujan Samaj (Shudras- Atishudras) to
rule over them by initiating and
perpetuating the Slavery, or
Subservient ness.


2. Creation is more difficult
than retention.
3. Once you create it
(Castes), there is no
problem in retaining it. It
will simply go on.

4. To organize and make
involuntary grouping
with the sanctions of
beliefs, customs and
traditions, and above all
the Sanctions of Shastras.

 A Caste is an enclosed Class. Pg-15

Subdivisions in a society is quite
natural. But the unnatural things
about these division is that they
have lost the “Open-door
character of the class-system”
and have became Self-enclosed
units called Castes. Pg-18

Thinking Skill can do this to be happened!
Let us resolve to do it!

1. The Brahmins of Religious
Intellectual Class in India?
2. The Beneficiaries of the
Brahmanical Social Order?


3. The Political Power, if it
deserves and desires?

Force of the Victims of
Brahmanical Social Order?

5. The Organized Intellectual Class
among Victims of the Social
System through the Social
Transformation Movement?
6. Organized De-Caste Leadership
along with the Victims of the
Social System.

1. Social Transformation Movement based
on the established principles :

Educate! = Learn-teach Thinking!
Agitate! = Learn-teach Possibility!
Organize! = Learn-teach Creativity!


2. The Victims should not wish
away the Caste,or the Culture
of Castes. They must learn
to handle it.
(Mahars of Maharashtra did not handle it properly).


3. Handle the Caste to the
benefits of the victims of the
culture Caste. Not to ignore
the Caste, but to take note of
it.


4. Use the Caste to liberate the
migrated people to cities.
5. Arouse the victims of Caste to
strive for Social Transformation
Movement.
6. Handle the double-edged sword
cautiously and efficiently.

7. If you want to destroy the Caste, you
have to stop beneficiaries taking
advantages of it.
8. Arousing and awakening are the best
means to prepare the vanguard of
the De-Caste Cadre to fight/agitate
against the Culture of Castes.

 Leaders or Intellectual Class to whom “We the People”
appeal for guidance does not believe in thinking and can
therefore give/provide no guidance which can be said to
stand the test of TIME / EXPERIENCE.
 This so called intellectual class is too dishonest to
educate the Citizens to teach thinking Skill.
 Hindus are wandering between two worlds:
One is dead, the Other is Powerless to be born. Pg-95
 We have to create New Intellectual Class to meet
the challenge of Castes’ Culture within and
among the Victims of Culture of Castes (Majority)

1. We have to create New Intellectual Class to meet
the challenge of Castes’ Culture within and among
the Victims of Culture of Castes (the Majority People).
2. Manusmuriti is a successful project to convert the
Majority Thinking People into the Unthinking
People to initiate and perpetuate the Worst
Slavery Culture of Castes in India.
3. If Caste is VIRUS; Thinking-skill is Anti-Virus!
4. The Quality of our thinking will determine the
quality of our Future!
5. Thinking-Skill CAN kill the Monster of the
Culture of Caste without bloodshed in INDIA
