. As regards the RSS, let me tell you that the RSS does not believe in any form of supremacy of one caste/race(choose whatever you like....) over the other. Over the years it has unobtrusively tried to break up caste barriers. It recognizes that casteism is the soft underbelly of hinduism >>

I do hope you are right about this one. The day RSS and its band of brothers start to think life of one dead cow is infinitely inferior to that of 5 dead untouchables - I will start believing RSS words on Hindu unity. RSS wants to embrace caste system and not break it because without castes there is no Hinduism. The ultimate aim of a Hindu is to achieve Moksha ( unity with God /Salavation ) and get out of the cycle of births and rebirths. Brahmins are closest to that path to Moksha having done great stuff in their previous birth.

"Untouchable" castes are lowest in the hierarchy and can hope to move up in next birth by sufficiently "brahminising" themselves by not eating beef/flesh and having clean habits. They however cannot become brahmins in the same birth or by marrying upwards ( which is rare anyway )

RSS needs to come clean and denounce this interpretation of Hindu philosophy. This philosophy came up in ancient times to perpetuate Aryan supremacy and prevent Aryan blood from being corrupted by the dark , dravidian blood. The proof of it is that most Brahmins and other upper castes even in South of India have very light skins. Many have blue and grey eyes as well. The caste system has been an excellent tool to preserve racial purity in India. Numerous anthropoligal studies have proven this. You need one though ... just look at the guys.

The "new" history being created by the Hindu nationalists ( not Indian nationalists ) is pure fiction - based on myths , lies and no scientific studies

Ever heard of someone called Govindacharya, a BJP/RSS idealogue. More to the point, have you ever seen what he looks like. He is as dark and as swarthy as they come and he is a South Indian Brahmin.
