At the present time in India, there are more than 2800 castes and
subcastes. In Vedic times, there were only four castes. So between the
period of about 3500 years, Hindus have thrown out the original caste
system and have evolved now to a new form of caste system.
In
modern India, people are not much bothered about caste unless it comes
to election and marriage. People are throwing out the old thoughts of
caste system. Modern Indian society is inclining towards a
money-centered society instead of a caste-centered society.
I think is ancient Hindus were advanced in science and technology
that including genetics. They knew that these are the genes (not
exactly but something like that) which controls the properties of a
human being like skin, color, hair, inclination for job (whether he is a
fighter or a labor etc.), nature, diseases, etc. At that time, there
were no laboratories to take a blood sample and identify the genes, but
they had developed another way of finding it out and that was Janma
Kundali or Janma Patrika. Janma Patrika is sketched based on the
positions of stars, planets, and nakshatras at the time of birth of a
person. If you have ever seen a Janma Patrika or if you have ever shown
it to a priest who has profound knowledge about it, he will easily tell
the characteristics of a person like skin color, nature, job prospectus,
and a lot of other things without seeing that person. I have personally
experienced this many times.
I am giving a few examples here what I have experienced:
1.
Since my childhood I wanted to join either armed force or police force,
I did not know why. Unless and until a few years back, I did not even
consider any other career. I tried my best to join armed forces but
unfortunately I could not. (My Varna is Kshatriay according to my Janma
Patrika which means warrior).
2. My brother always wanted to be a
businessman. Though he could not, he is still trying to become one.
Actually, he likes business from the heart (His varna is Vaishya
according to his Janma Patrika).
3. One of my friends wants to do
business at any cost. Right now, he is working and doing a small
business also for which he has to work about 16-18 hours a day. He
thinks each and every thing in terms of a business (He is also a Vaishya
according to his Janma Patrika).
These are very few examples. I
have seen the Janma Patrika up to 90% accurate in some cases but I am
not sure how one can tell future of a person from Janma Kundali.
In
conclusion, what I want to tell is that it is quite possible that the
occupation of a person was decided in ancient India based on Janma
Kundali as the Janma Kundali was considered as your gene map (if you
think in modern terms). Only the technique to find characteristics of a
person was different.
But in the flow of time, people might have
started misusing it as it is very hard to know who was born at what
time, and Janma Kundali can easily be manipulated by a person who has
knowledge about it. So, people at that time must have decided to allot a
job to a person based on which family he is born instead of his Janma
Patrika as the next generation carries genes of the ancestors. For
example, if a person was born in a Shudra family, he had to do labor
work and if a person was born in a Brahmin family, he had to do priestly
works.
Christians and islams too segregated themselves to casts and outfits to gain leverage in the modern society.Brahmins too got treated by nepotist outfits who created the superiority for brahmins and gae themselves self rewarding halos of strength and wisdom.They asked people to judge natures through prism of caste system and people with their eyes never understood the light but segregation of the spectrum by which they divided not on functionality but family name to give themselves an identity.
According to Raja Ram Mohan Roy, author of Vedic Physics, "The
knowledge contained in the Vedas is very abstruse, and is well beyond the
comprehension of ordinary human beings. Therefore Vedic sages coded the
knowledge in a simple form in which it could be understood by everyone. The Rig
Veda itself testifies that it has a hidden meaning in verse 4.3.16. Sage Bharata
in his Natyasastra 2.23 refers to the sages who knew the hidden meaning of
the Vedas. This coding of knowledge proved to be very successful in
disseminating the knowledge to common folks. This would also explain why
extraordinary steps were taken to preserve the Vedas, and the honor given to the
Vedas by Hindus, even though its meaning is little understood today. "On
the eve of the "Mahabharata War" our ancestors believed that their
knowledge was in danger of being lost. They could have written it down, but
writings could be destroyed. Therefore, it was memorized and passed on orally.
Today, the Avesta, religious scripture of ancient Iranians, only a fraction of
it is available. Alexander captured Iran in 326 B.C. and after a bloody war,
destroyed each copy of the Avesta available."
Christians and muslims claim themsleves free from this but in india have divided themselves over regions. There are
groups like Goan Christian, UP Christian, Catholics, Marathi Christians,
Keralite Christians, and a lot. People from these groups consider
themselves as superior to each other, which is totally against their
religion.
Clearly, this has nothing to do with Islam or
Christianity. It is the side effect of Hindu caste system, which has
penetrated through other religions also.
