Varna System Is An Ideal System and Caste System Is Not Sanatana Dharma — Maria Wirth Talks On Hinduism And Its Greatness

Hinduism, Videos, What is Hinduism

Caste system is from Europe. Derived from Portuguese word ‘casta'. Varna on the other hand belongs to Sanatana Dharma. Varna is decided by Karma and not by Janma. The discourse on religion in India has been allowed to go on lopsided for far too long. Maria Wirth raises tough issues Indians themselves shy away from. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCBiVRyyVMQ&t=7s
