I think its crazy that people still follow these systems today but they are still widely popular. He should get death for what he did to those children and unborn child. I cant possibly image how he could be so angered but some people are way behind on the times.

It happens in american society like the rich shouldnt marry the poor but we dont set fire to each other

Its sad. It happens every where till now. The Parents think that there son and daughter are their property and they can do what ever they like.

For this Indian person CASTE or Religion was the excuse, fro some other community the wealth becomes the excuse and again for some other the skin color is the issue.

Caste system

There seems to be a lot of confusion about the caste system these days. Lord Krishna has said that through the distribution of the gunas - qualities - and karma - actions - the four castes were created by Him. He said: "Though I am the author thereof, know Me to be actionless and changeless." Is caste an inheritance, flexible, or something we create; do we follow our own ways, our likes and dislikes, our own choice? I met a man who talked a lot against the caste system, and I said that I could not agree more, though he was not talking against the caste system but against caste prejudice. That gave him a shock. This prejudice is the problem.

What is the value of the caste system? What is its contribution? The Vedas, Manu and Lord Krishna Himself speak about it, but none of the scriptures really talk against the caste system. Lord Krishna said; "I created the castes, the caste system is created by me through the distribution of gunas and karma, meaning that according to what we do in this world here, so will our character be." Lord Krishna said: "Though I am the Creator of these things, do not think that I am partial, that I am taking sides, that I am performing actions; I am beyond the gunas.

Some people say that the gunas are inherited, that the caste system is inherited; others say that it is only functionary so that we can regulate society and develop progress, that without some function, some system, we cannot progress. Both are correct. What is necessary is to know that the caste system exists since the Vedic time and it has produced a lot of things, all the great things we can think about and are proud of: our concept and philosophy of life, our dharma, our science, mathematics, and astronomy, they all come from the caste society, the Sanskrit language. When we look at how much it has contributed to us, we can see where we have gone wrong.

Is technological development the cause of the bomb that fell on Hiroshima? We cannot blame technology for that. It is how we, human beings, use technology - like killing one another. Similarly, we cannot blame the caste system for the prejudices that have developed in modern times. One caste against the other - these are human failures, human negative attitudes. Technology has done very beautiful things for us, we are lucky. It has given us many things, but we use it to make, for example, atom bombs to kill people. It was not meant for that purpose; it was meant to bring happiness to mankind, to give comfort, not to destroy man. Similarly, the caste system has given us many good things. We cannot blame the caste system.
