"Hindu society has always been divided deeply on the basis of caste, region, gender, language, beliefs, occupation and ideology. And every average Hindu considers these inequalities justified and puts up with them. Hinduism recognizes social and economic inequalities as inevitable constituents of society because of the individual differences in the nature of their karma. If a person is born rich or into a higher caste it is because of his karma and if someone is suffering or born in a poor caste, he has to blame himself and his previous actions. Each individual who lives here is a continuation of his past and is fully responsible for his or her reality. Therefore how can any one blame others for ones own suffering? This is the logic that prevents effective collective action in Hindu society."
"The same logic goes when people choose leaders who are corrupt, inefficient or anti social. The same thing happened when foreign powers invaded the subcontinent. People put up with suffering because they believe that they are responsible for it in the first place and that they need to endure it as a part of their salvation and progress."
