We can't be sure of the fact that only Gita has been fed to it; and as my reply showed, it is showing that the caste is fluid as the reply mentioned anyone can become a Brahmin.
- pkphilip 3y agoI have yet to see a single Indian BECOME a brahmin out of their own actions. Do you know anyone like that? Would like to talk to them. EVERY SINGLE brahmin I have met was born into a brahmin household - except for some whites who are treated notionally like brahmins.
- actuator 3y agoI did write > There is no one true book for the dharmic faiths and over time the concept was rigidified by the people in power to keep their power. The thing you see today is not what was intended. We have seen throughout in history when you give one group power, it tries to ensure that the power stays with it; this is what the so called upper castes basically did. In modern times, why would you want to become another caste? In India, groups are dying to be called a backward or lower caste these days
- axdx 3y agoI know of one person who "converted" into a brahmin and was an archaka (अर्चक) in a temple. However, there was a lot of resistance from the management committee against him, and he would get excluded from quite a few of the activities.
