You are wrong. The Vedas have nothing to do with the varna (caste) system. The caste system came much later and they have nothing to do with the foundations of Hinduism. There are several sects of Hinduism which explicitly reject the caste system. Look up Arya Samaj etc.
I have a feeling have I wasted my time in engaging with facts for someone whose mind is already made up about my faith.
- srean 6y agoIt think it is intellectually dishonest to cast Arya Samaj in the same category as Vedic Hinduism. Considering Hinduism's age it was an very recent revisionist reform that happened yesterday. It was nowhere close to main stream Hinduism and wasn't the only such attempt at a reform. Existence of such reforms does not take away the well entrenched nature of the caste system and how far back it goes in time.
