this article is a bit tricky. Pundita oversimplifies. what she/he is in efect saying is that the land of the pure would have been a marvelous place but for this last vestige of Hinduism. The prblm wth pakistan or for that matter with all muslim countries is islam not caste. Whats caste got to do with pakistan emerging as the epicenter of global terrorism or jihad? In fact blaming caste for whats happening in pakistan is rubbish.

no, it shows that the claim of universal brotherhood in mohdnism and xism is just hogwash.

all countries practice caste. they just call it something else, like class.

the worst casteists are the exclusivist semitic religions -- xism, mohdnism, marxism. they create 'others' and then start killing them.

in india, the worst casteists are the communists and the DMK. both of which are neo-semitic religions.

paleo-semitic: zoroastrianism, judaism
meso-semitic: christism, mohammedanism
neo-semitic: marxism, maoism, 'dravidianism', nehruvian stalinism, 'dalitism', burqa-duttism, etc etc etc
