Chapter 16 - Sociology of the Gita
_The four fold order was created by Me according to the divisions of quality and work._
_Though I am its creator, know Me to be incapable of action change (IV_ _–_ _13)_ _{Gita}….[Page 152]_
Nothing could be clearer than the above verse from the Gita where Krishna the dark lord states that he created the despicable caste system. Further caste literally means varnas which in turn means color. Therefore the entire edifice of the so-called caste system is
based on racial lines. The stratification of the social mobility is so rigid that there is absolutely no scope for rise in status no matter how incredible one’s personal accomplishments. This is the real ‘apartheid’ of the Brahmin kind!
_He may or may not have been the Lord of the Jagat (Universe) but he was certainly the_ _Lord of Jugglery. Taking their cue from the Lord of Jugglery, the commentators on the_ _Gita maintain that caste system is not man-made but god-made; it is “therefore”_ _sacrosanct…… [Page 154]_
How on earth does the all knowing god devise such a unjust and wicked system so as to subjugate more than 95% of the population to perpetual servitude. No wonder, it ispossible in Krishna’s alternate parallel universe where all the 33 million gods reside to do the impossible on this Hindu earth. _For finding, refuge in Me, they also who, O son of Pritha, may be_ _of a sinful birth_ _–_ _women, vaisays as well as sudras,_ _-_ _even they can attain to the Supreme Goal..[Page 154]_
This verse of the Gita by Krishna should get an Oscar award for its sheer insolence and the unspeakable gaul to be able to write such filth. It really means that all except the Brahmins and the Kshytrias everyone else is “born out of the womb of sin.” Nothing can be more repulsive than this statement but even worse being, that it is from the holiest Hindu text. Dozens of well known commentators on the Gita have given evasive and misleading translations because it boggles the mind, as to how is it possible that a holy text can be downright racist to the vast majority of the population. _Now the forth key_ _–_ _and vicious_ _–_ _verse in the_ _Gita is No.35 in Chapter III……. Better_ _one’s own duty, though devoid of merit, than the duty of another well discharged. Better_ _is death in one’s own duty; the duty of another is productive of danger…….[Page 159]_
This line probably the most famous one, from the Gita, is such a senseless and convoluted statement. According to Krishna the most intelligent sudra cannot perform the Brahmin’s prayers otherwise he would go to hell. Instead he should continue to be a shoemaker if his father was one and give it his best and be content. Messing with the sacrosanct varna system can as Narla puts it, “a spell in hell!” Arjuna cares more about upsetting the caste system due to the war, as the war widows may intermarry with other caste-groups or become sex-slaves of the lower castes, rather than the relatives he has killed. The entire Gita is nothing more than barbed wire to keep the brutal caste system in its place.
