[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 210978, member: 138"] Original ji, Guru Fateh You are mixing apples with mangoes again. Yes, human rights are violated with the help of caste system but this is a unique phenomena only in Hinduism. In Hinduism, it is their god and goddesses that create these 'human rights' divisions unlike in other religions the world over. This has nothing to do with small brain but small mind. In other words, it is not about the hardware but the software whose code is written by Hindu gods/goddesses. Our human progress in other fields will continue not by any divine prophecy but by human curiousity to learn,adapt and adjust. Please allow me to take your last sentence where you quoted Spinoza first, but before I do that, please give us the whole quote rather than of what you fancy for your discussion. Allow me to elaborate it. [B]'..don't laugh at human actions..'[/B] which implies that Baruch(Hebrew) Spinoza, Benedito de Espinosa (Portuguese), he was born in a Portuguese Jewish colony in Amsterdam, is telling others, in this case us, not to laugh at human actions as per your quote, which is false. The whole quote will clarify what Spinoza said, [SIZE=4][B]"I have striven not to laugh at human actions, not to weep at them, nor to hate them, but to understand them"[/B]. – [URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baruch_Spinoza']Baruch Spinoza[/URL][/SIZE] Here, you would notice that Spinoza is talking about himself. He is not lecturing anyone else as you implied through your incorrect quote of his. One should not distort the quotes by others for one's personal 'advantage' for the sake of argument rather than having a discussion/interaction where all can learn. You have done the same with Kant in the past. Having said that, even the right quote is irrelevant to the discussion of casteism because as mentioned above, caste is between the Hindus and their deities. It has nothing to do with, "sikhi sikhia gur vichar" [p465 SGGSJ], which is a personal endeavour. Coming back to "sikhi sikhia gur vichar" [p465 SGGSJ], this is exactly what Guru sahib urges us sans belief/faith, the opposite of what you advocate vehemently about Sikhi in your posts. Vichar does not need either belief or faith, just understanding and practicing of Guru Shabad. What is Guru Vichar? It is to practice the lessons learned from Piri 'Guru Vichar' in our life of Miri- the truthful living. This is the only way a Sikh becomes a Peace Warrior. Guru Vichar is: 1. Simran through deeds 2. Naam Japnah through deeds. What Guru Vichar is not: 1. Parroting ritualistically 'endlessly'. 2, Blind faith/belief Can you give us some concrete examples with references for your claim above? This is good news! When was this 'caste based discrimination' added to Equality Act 2010? Since its addition, have the government and/or human rights advocates like yourself collected any raw data about its effect? How many high caste Hindus have married the low caste Hindus and vice versa in the UK since this addition of the clause in the bill? Please share your data with us. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
