Whatever collective feeling should exist as a nation or as a society can never truly develop. Why does such dreadful inequality exist? Because it is based on the caste system. The creation of this system was not only to exploit and reduce competition for the benefit of the Brahmin community, but also to ensure that, even though a person possesses ability, skill, and willpower, he remains trapped within his caste or is forced to work only in that sphere. Most importantly, if you show willpower and try to break the caste system, the system confuses you. It makes you believe you can achieve everything, but in reality, you cannot—because you cannot change your emotions, nor can you detach from your rela...
