The Stupid Brahmin and His Even Stupider Janeu
“The moment I realized that it is only the Brahmin male who wears the janeu and not the Brahmin female, I understood that all castes are lower castes.”

One More Look at the Caste System
“You are what your deep, driving desire is. As your desire is, so is your will. As your will is, so is your deed. As your deed is, so is your destiny.”—Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (IV.4.5)
Let us classify the castes (simplistic?) according to this principle:
If your deep, driving desire is for:
Knowledge and wisdom — then, you are a Brahmin
Power, authority, leadership — then, you are a Kshatriya
Money, resources — then, you are a Vaishya
Enjoyment — then, you are a Shudra
Someone commented: If so, a vast majority of the people in the world would love to be Shudras, isn’t it?
I replied: True, but without the acquisition of the other goods that the other higher castes are seeking, that enjoyment is precarious, hard to obtain, and cannot be sustained…and that does NOT mean the other castes are NOT enjoying…the Brahmin gets enjoyment from knowledge and wisdom, and that very knowledge and wisdom can bring in its train power, leadership, authority, money, resources, and enjoyment…but NOT necessarily in the measure in which the other castes are seeking them, but the Brahmin would have understood the significance of contentment, and therefore even if he has in less measure the goods that other castes have, he will still be as happy. But, every caste will have access to the goods of all the castes lower to it but very rarely access to the goods of the castes higher to it, if I can put it simplistically.

By shooting the Nazi ICE who will be enthusiastically grabbing brown voters as they head for the polls, or what?
How are "we" supposed to "ensure we have them?" Meaning elections. How? What is the magic wand, Democrats, you sell-outs since Reagan beat Carter, America's last chance to be anything but a Nazi state, as it turned out?
Pixie dust?
Frog costumes?
Should we call "our" representatives to beg them to ignore the billionaires funding their elections, but funding nothing else?How are "we" supposed to "ensure we have them?" We are not elected. We don't have armies. Should we blow bubbles in the direction of our executioners?
We are admonished to never shoot back, for that might make the Nazis executing us at will really mad.
Now we're taxed twice - federal taxes and federal tariffs. This isn't democracy, and Congress is not our ally. It is our mortal enemy paying criminals, handing them weapons and allowing them to be masked, to shoot us dead in the streets for the sin of observing them.
Burn Congress to the ground. It represents Elon Musk's class, and nobody else.
Mamas, don't let your kids join the military, for it is fully supporting the murderers, killing boaters for the Nazi regime.

State benefits doled on caste lines are also leading to ‘caste ferocity’ in society: Madras High Court
Justice Anita Sumanth, in her observations in the case relating to the Sanatana Dharma row, said the ancient Varna Dharma propounded caste divisions only on the basis of avocation and not birth; she emphasised that caste inequities that exist today must be eradicated.

India needs a caste census – and Southasia does too
Demands for a caste census are shaking up politics and prompting a fresh reckoning with historical injustices in India. Everywhere that caste is endemic, overdue caste counts have the power to do the same. Anil Verghese and Naval Kishore Kumar write.
