IF HINDUS WIN FRESH CONVERTS, TO WHICH CASTE WILL THEY BELONG?


IF HINDUS WIN FRESH CONVERTS, TO WHICH CASTE WILL THEY BELONG?


My idea is that the new entrants to the Sanatan Dharma must be settled into a new varna called 'Sanatani' with all the rights available to all the other varnas, Upaveet, Gayatri et al made available to them. And it is time to raise our lowest varna, the Shudras, by empowering them with the Gayatri, the Upaveet (Sacred Thread) and the study of the Vedas by declaring such allowance formally. Raising the culture of the masses will conduce to enhancing the solidarity of the Hindus 🕉 and will also lead to a perceptible rise in average national consciousness, for culture is the cementing factor in society and the preserver of its intellectual and spiritual life over a protracted period of time. Culture is the great social integrator. 


The new entrants to the Sanatan Dharma, that is, the 'Sanatanis', must be assimilated seamlessly by active participation of the rest of the Hindu 🕉 body politic. In today's globalised, fast-moving world where constant industrial migration of the masses is in vogue, this assimilation will not be that difficult. Ultimately, though, these divisive caste barriers will have to be done away with, as Veer Savarkar and Bhimrao Ambedkar had both worked for, if this seamless absorption of freshers to the fold is to be attained. Then and then alone will our numbers increase through proselytising which must be set afoot on a war-footing if Islamic ☪️ and Christian ✝️ conversion of Hindus 🕉 are to be effectively countered and the battle carried to their own court.
