Caste system, Dalits and the death of the knowledge tree

There use to be a generation of skilled leather workers who passed on their skills from their blood line. If today one spends lets say 20 years in just programming C, C++ and other programming language then you can certainly conclude with great certainty that he is an expert. Now imagine I pass my skills to my children and their children and it continues in my family for millenia then my offspring in future who have continued this legacy of passing down their forefather's skills to their children will be the best programmers in the world (assuming that computer programming is still a thing) because
What I acquired in 20 years, I will take atleast less than half of that time to transfer my skills to my children. What they acquire in their lifetime they will be able to transfer that knowledge to their children within a decade or less. Since the knowledge transfer is exponential here the resulting family line will be one of the if not the most expert in programming anything.
There are only certain skill which will last through out the ages like
farming
leather work
wood work
metal work
sculptures and construction
and many softskills like literacy, mathematics, particular fields of science.
example 2:
Doctors children become doctors and this continues for may be for 100 generations. The resulting doctors will be the experts at the chosen field of medicine since the skills get passed on quickly and much efficiently.
This was the hindu caste system. A systematic way of ensuring the passing down of skills and thus exponential improvement of skill sets, expertise and knowledge about a chosen field.
It was social norm to follow their forefathers chosen profession and be better at it and it was discouraged to divert from their forefather's profession since it will disturb the transfer, preservation and improvement of knowledge and skills of that profession.
There were 4 varnas
Scholar (brahmin) - one whose life will be in the pursuit of knowledge
Warrior (xatriya) - one whose life is of offering protection and war if necessary
Trader (vyshya) - One whose life is involved mainly in trading.
Labor (Shudra) - One who is skilled in a (family) profession.
All castes would have fallen under one of these. A barber, a carpenter, a metalsmith were all shudras. When abrahamics invaded india they assassinated the best of each varnas (class) because they needed to weaken the society. That is why you see most of the great art, sculptures, metal works like never rusting iron pillars, mathematics and more were all from an era of pre abrahamic invasion.
They made the most skilled labor class leave their profession by telling them that it is an oppression that they have to do the same kind of work that their forefathers did and today those professions and industries are worth the highest in terms of profit and money where as those who would have reaped these benefits are trying to enter an office, work at a desk and do a mediocre job.
Abrahamics pushed away the hindu family trees (in the name of oppression) who were the most skilled in leather works. Now the entire meat and leather industry worth crores is owned abrahamics.
Abrahamics pushed away the hindu family trees (in the name of oppression) who were the most skilled in grooming profession (barber, spa, salon). That profession is now worth crores and it is dominated by abrahamics.
Abrahamics pushed away the hindu family trees (in the name of oppression) who were the most skilled in metal works. That profession is now worth crores and it is dominated by abrahamics.
The same thing is true with many professions and the soon it will be farming.
As per the dharmic circle of life, the wealth, health or any kind of prosperity moves in a circle and it spans over generations. Today the shudra class is the most economically stable class of society and traders (industrialists, entrepreneurs etc.,) are the wealthiest.
I am certainly not one of those who promotes an enforced following of family profession but I do certainly hope that people follow their family profession and improve upon it, pass on that knowledge and skills to those who come after them.
Today anyone can choose any profession and most spend most of their life time to find what is really good for them or what they are really good at and even if they do they might not love what they do so most are always in search of something to do which they love than loving or at least learn to love what they do and be the best at it.
No I is greater than all.

Reservations and Appeasement: A conspiracy to destroy India

The best way to destroy a country is to make it destroy itself by its own people who feel righteous about themselves when they do it. The western countries like USA and other European countries need talent to drive their countries, corporations forward so that they stay ahead of the curve and this can be achieved only real talent. When in countries like india bring forth laws which will make sure that the important key positions in the government sector are based on discrimination, color, caste, language, creed and origin the real talented youngsters will obviously turn to the private sectors and a lot of these youngsters and talented youth is being grabbed at a high price from many western institutions and corporations like NASA, Google, Microsoft etc., which will only benefit the west and its interests because now we have indians working for western companies and countries in competition with india. It is in the interest of these western countries and private corporati...

I would If I could - 2 - Viral development via Smart Cities

Viral development via Smart Cities example city : bangalore Current disadvantages of cities/smart cities polarization of growth, development Dis connectivity between the residents of city and the rest of the citizens of the country Rise of class system migration of people, talent only towards city causing weaker section of society everywhere except city. talented, efficient people would not want to go to other places than cities due to lack of facilities, growth or development there won't be any growth, development or facilities other than cities due to lack of efficient people in places other than cities and also lack of interest sooner are later cities become seeders and places away from cities become leechers (if you have used bittorrent technology, then you would know) The migration of people to cities will always be higher than the rate of growth or accommodation and capacity of the cities due to the natural tendency of people to migrate to a better place with ...

stackexchange: Are shudras and women not allowed to chant Aum i.e Pranava?

since stackexchange is becoming like reddit and wikipedia where unknown , behind the mask moderators run these sites like dictatorship, I have decided to add answers here. Chanting and reading are different. Vedic Chanting has two parts - Tone and Recitation (Patha). It further has four different tones - Udatta, Anudaatta, Svarita and Deergha Svarita. Pathas are the styles of hymnal recitation. So unless your are are well skilled in these and your pronouncination, enunciation is accurate, you are not supposed to chant. Chanting the same mantras in different way produces different effects, different vibrations. Many a times a slight difference in spacing, intonation, pronounciation, enunciation produces different meanings. So unless you are classically trained to chant these, one shall avoid it but can read them with sound without making a sound, silently. Ex: Many in north india swap va & ba. Ravindranath tagore becomes rabindranath tagore. Many in north india also swap ra & da...
