What sort of a pathetic simpleton are you?
Clearly you are ignorant of the subject matter and are merely trying to get a rise out of people by selectively quoting from selected texts. Have you even understood what i posted? Stop this nonsense and go study some books on the subject matter starting with the same book that you quote from which incidentally is a translation by the same Prof. Patrick Olivelle that i mention above.

- truth_be_told 6y agoI am questioning you decision here. "deepglacier/bluetreeroot" are one and the same account engaging in "sock puppet" deception which is completely unethical. Moreover in my original post, i had actually pointed out his/her lack of knowledge on the subject matter and also listed a scholarly and peer-reviewed paper on the subject (see below). Instead all i got was more selective quotes in response. Thus my response was necessarily harsh in order to drive home the point that one needs a nuanced study of the subject and not just random quotes without context. PS: Here is the paper again: "Caste and purity: A study in the language of the Dharma literature" - https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/006996679803200203 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/006996679803200203
