Guest guest Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 Hi everyone, Sorry if this is a little off topic but I am curious about something. I love the spiritual history of India and all the spiritual practices continue to amaze me the more I read and practice them, but one thing I dislike is the caste system. While I know it was enforced in the past, is it still enforced? I know there are some people on the list from India and I am just curious what do people nowadays think about the caste system? Thanks Mike Quote
