I want to know that who has invented this word ""Castism"". Becuase I am unable
to find any reference to this word in any of the so called indian and hindu
scriptures. They dont talk of castism anywhere? About one book "Manusruti",
which is actually "Manusmriti" talks of "Jatis' ". This word is totally
different from Castes and castism. Isnt it enough to hint at some foriegn nexus
over this issue. The one example on this could be refrred to "Science and
Technology in India in 18th Century" a book by Dharampal and another book " A
Beautiful Tree". This book gives a amply clear statistics that the overall
percentage of the educated Scheduled Castes and STs' ( definced under today
castism principles) was more than Brahmins and Kshatriyas educated. ( SC &STs'
Brahmins and Kshtriyas defined under the umbrella of Castism)
If They were more educated just 200 years ago,then what is the reason for their
downfall. Is it becuase Castism (There are no references for Castism before 1700
AD or so) and Which Castism?? Who brought the idea of castism?? Do only Hindus
have castism?? If yes then why the so called Dalit Christians are demanding the
reservations?? Similarly in Islam.
