Sorry to say I have not convinced you to that a discussion of this long and enormous topic requires some knowledge. Talking about varna-s coming out of Brahma is evidence that you haven't begun the slightest research nor have the experience to lead such a discussion.

I won't try to convince you that ethnicity in South Asia (aka "caste") is not divisive. It is by definition. That's what society *is*. No mass of people floats around in unity besides the Borg.

So what if you prefer socialism? What has that got to do with caste versus anything else? One can only infer that you think you are going to "solve" caste... by persuading 1.4 people in India to adopt your vision of socialism (?).

So we're back where we started: What do you know about socialism in India? Ever heard of the Naxilites? Followed India's love affair with USSR after Independence? You don't think there are socialists in Indian politics? Do you think they have failed, as natives who are engaged and know the local politics, while you'll dream up a scheme in your far-away head that will succeed?

No one could possibly care that you don't find caste appealing. As I already said, no one in their right mind finds it "appealing." They didn't sit down as a legislative body and say "Let's have Caste as our System!" Just like you didn't decide to make the "divisive" decision to split people into masculine and feminine or English and Indian. You don't seem to get that fact, which renders your expressing the sentiment to be utterly pointless.
