Hi Kunjuppu, One more thing. caste system in the current repressive form did NOT exist in the south dravidian kingdoms. Till Vijayanagara empire (ruled by Chalukyas) in north karnataka/andhra, all people were treated equally, a place of just rule - documented by all Greek, Chinese, Persian travellers. It is only after its collapse during 1650+, & subsequent emergence of British & later, did the caste system in the repressive form get entrenched. so at best it was the last 300 yrs & is the worst part of our great dravidian culture !! But this is NOT the case in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia Cambodia etc.. where Hinduism was propagated by Cholas, there is NO such repressive Caste system.
