Lovelyivy, I must again point out that the caste system is an outgrowth of ONE religion and does not reflect the entire nation. Sorry for not believing sterotypes that I saw on the simpsons. LOL
Furthermore, the caste system in India is a legal system. It's government supported, and is maintained by their government. They are making progress to eliminate it completely, and I applaud them for it. The fact remains, however, that it is a legal system, regardless of where it comes from. People used the Bible as justification of slavery. The Bible is part of a religion. Slavery, in part, arose from that religion. Slavery was still a legal system, not a religious one. Don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying that everyone who supported slavery used the Bible, just as not all people in the top castes in India really care about it because of religion. People will do anything to hold on to power.
If everyone except me loves Ghandi, then everyone except me is completely deluded.
