To be a HINDU --"CASTE" is Un-Important.
CASTE is NOT a Religious Issue--CASTE is a Socio-Political Issue.
There are Brahmin Muslims(Bhatts) in Kashmir
There are BRAHMIN Roman Catholics (Bhamos) in Goa.
There are KSHATRIYA MUSLIMS in India (NAIK) --in Pakistan and Bangala Desh (CHOUDRYS)
There are (Upper Caste) PILLAI Roman Catholics in Tamil Nadu and Kerala--There are 1000s of "Dalit"- Roman Catholics in Tamil Nadu and Kerala--will they be accepted as BHAMOS or PILLAIS by the Respective CASTE Roman Catholics ?.--There is a "PAPAL BULL" that Bhamos can have "Separate Seats" and "Separate Communion Cups" in R.C.Churches--which can NOT be used by DALIT Roman Catholics.--WHY?--WHY?
Why CASTE is given more importance than the phrase "Roman Catholic" in an R.C.CHURCH ?
why to "beat" Hindus alone time and again, with a "Caste Stick" ?
There is a "Vested Interest" behind this "Organised rhetoric".
CASTE is important only to "VOTE" in Indian Elections and in marriages.
A ROMAN CATHOLIC NADAR will marry a HINDU NADAR or a ROMAN CATHOLIC PILLAI will marry a HINDU PILLAI--but BOTH will NOT marry DALIT ROMAN CATHOLIC--CASTE is MORE IMPORTANT in marriages than RELIGION. --PLEASE VERIFY.
A KHATRI SIKH will marry a KHATRI HINDU--but NOT a DALIT SIKH.--CASTE is Important than Religion
In Kuaui Monastry all AMREICAN CAUCASIANS are HINDUS and CHANT VEDAM--who on EARTH has the Authority to tell them that thay are NOT HINDUS ?--Are they worried about Caste ?--ALL Caste Hindus go and pay their Respects to them.

About 50 Czechoslavikian Younsters (Male and Female) are HINDUS and Chant VEDAM--Who on EARTH has the AUTHORITY to tell them thaat they are NOT HINDUS--do they "WORRY" about "acceptance" and "Caste".

1000s of EURO-AMERICANS are practising HINDU RELIGION and regularly attend Hindu Temples in Europe--North America and Canada----even a couple of days back many of them participated in HINDU Ratha Yatra--(I do NOT talk about ISKCON Ratha Yatra) --who asks them "What is their CASTE?" --is a "Meaningless" Question.
