There is no caste-system in Vedas — Agniveer

Summary : Reproduced below is one of the most authentic discussion on 'caste' system

In Vedic culture, everyone is considered to be born as Shudra. Then based on his or her education, one becomes a Brahmin, Kshatriya or Vaishya. This completion of education is considered to be a second birth. Hence these three Varnas are called “Dwija” or twice-born. But those who remain uneducated for whatever reasons are not discarded from society. They continue as Shudra and perform support-activities for the society.

Summary : Senior journalist A Surya Prakash has established that Ms Sonia Gandhi was still an Italian citizen when she broke India's electoral laws, entering the voters list years in advance of her application for citizenship (very much like the illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, for whom her party has so much sympathy). I (Surya Prakash) have been given to understand by friends studying the issue that the reciprocity clause in citizenship applies to holding representative office, such as being an MP or cabinet minister. A naturalised Italian of Indian-origin is not eligible for even the municipal office in Italy. Hence, it is likely that Ms Gandhi is not entitled to be even an MP in India.

Bottomline : I'm sure I will be branded a male chauvinist by many - but if one looks at more and more homes, it requires no genius to argue that there is no equilibrium solution for two full-time careers and one happy family. This is one puzzle even mathematics has not been able to solve. And probably never will. Don't forget, this is all about chemistry (of families), not about their mathematics!

Comment : No Srivatsa. I would not call you a male chauvinist. In-fact given your high pedestal (and resultant compulsions to be politically correct) I applaud your bold views below.
