Is Indian mythology or Hindu religion really Opposing Intercaste marriages Part-2

Indeed, God doesn't have any caste, truth be told neither of scriptures talks about caste by birth. This birth-based caste system was created by us humans/ society itself (some documents even prove transition to Caste centric from Varna centric society was introduced and promoted by British and we have been following it ever since) all I did was apply the same to gods who took human nature, to show us how to live. According to Krishna in Bhagavat-Gita he says he made four Varna & Four Ashrams according to one's Guna(Qualities) and Karma(work) but not by Janma (birth) चातुर्वर्ण्यं   मया   सृष्टं   गुणकर्मविभागश : | तस्य   कर्तारमपि   मां   विद्ध्यकर्तारमव्ययम्  || 13|| chātur-varṇyaṁ mayā sṛiṣhṭaṁ guṇa-karma-vibhāgaśhaḥ tasya kartāram api māṁ viddhyakartāram avyayam (Ch-4: S-13) TRANSLATION: According to the three modes of material nature and the work associated with them, the four divisions of human society are created by Me. And although I am the creator

Is Indian mythology or Hindu religion really Opposing Intercaste marriages Part-1

Centuries back India was classified into different castes based on the job they do. At first, it is made to bring more efficiency and make its system in the society but later it turned into chaos while one caste is trying to show superiority over the other The basic castes are divided into Brahmanas, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Sudras. Kshatriyas are the rulers, warriors & Administrators Brahmins are Priests or representatives who offer prayers to gods on behalf of everyone Vaishyas are Cattle owners, traders, money lenders and businessmen Shudras are Artisans, Farmers & Labouring class By fast-forwarding it by a couple of centuries today if we observe there is still a serious lacking in the heterogeneous mixture of caste in society. So I have got a doubt why is an inter-caste marriage opposed? the most obvious answer I got is" Because our elders said so". Who's said to those elders…. Their elders. So if we go on searching for the or

GOD - A Belief or A Belief system?

Disclaimer : I Respect all religions. Since I have better knowledge about Hindu mythology and Hindu religion, I have given more examples from it.   It doesn’t mean I am insulting it. Before you all come to a conclusion that I am an atheist, I want to clarify.   NO, I'm not an atheist.   I do go to temple; I do read religious scriptures and observe all those rituals instructed by my mother. I believe in God but I don't believe in his existence. Yes, quite oxymoron. Just like perfectly imperfect, regularly irregular or little more. True, I repeat what I said, I believe in God but I don't believe in his existence. I don't know whether Lord Ram is a God or not I don't know whether Lord Krishna is a God or not I don't know whether Jesus Christ is a God or not I don't know whether Allah is a God or not But what I do certainly know is, there existed these men whose activities were Godly for the whole humanity at that time so they got the t

On the basis of caste, on the basis of sex, on the basis of religion, on the basis of language we speak. After the journey of 4.2 billion years and 70 years of independent
