Retard, there was no slavery in India before the Muhammadan savages invaded it. And there was no "caste system" either before the British introduced it to divide and conquer Indians. India had the Varna system, not "muh caste system". The Varna system wasn't hereditary. Anyone could become a Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya or Shudra based on his/her talents, education and skills.

You retards, the "caste system" wasn't hereditary especially during the Vedic times. So most of these scriptures could have been written by men (and women, like a lot of Rig Vedic hymns) of any "caste"/Jati. There was no "caste system" in ancient India. There was only the Varna system and Jati system (cultural and ethnic clans). The Varnas consisting of the 4 occupational classes got turned into the "caste system" in modern times by the British to divide and conquer Indians. In ancient and even medieval India, Anyone could become a Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya and Shudras. There were entire kingdoms ruled by Shudra kings who became Kshatriyas.

It's not "caste". It's Varna. Caste and Varna aren't the same. Caste is a colonial invention that was cooked up by combining the Varna and Jati system into a hereditary abomination called the Caste System. Jati is your ethnic and cultural clan that you don't marry out of to maintain genetic and racial purity. Varna on the other hand is your place in society depending upon your personality, talents, IQ, education and skills. So you can become anything from a Brahmin, to a Kshatriya, Vaishya or a Shudra based on your talents and education. It's not different from division of labor.
