Although
the Varna system find its origin to the Hindu
mythology (Manubad), when it gets segmented into
so many castes and sub castes is not easily
available in our history. Further, we don't find
any mention of titles Like Singh, Sinha, Mishra,
Pandey, Gupta etc. in our Hindu mythology or in
any historical books. Our Devis and Devtas are
not having any titles. Further all ancient
Indian famous kings were not having any titles.
Famous king Ashoka is not called as Ashoka
Singh. Maharana Pratap is not called Maharana
Pratap Singh. Bhagwan Ram supposed to be
Kshatriya is not known as Ram Singh nor do we
refer Lord Krishna as Krishna Yadav. So when did
this system begin? Is it some thing to do with
British period? The intellectual readers of
PatnaDaily.Com may comment on it.

I can tell you one thing, that even
the British did not use surnames
till the thirteenth century. I think
the British royals still do not use
a surname. However, it requires some
more research. Let us try to find
out.
I am more interested in this as I
don't use a surname and because of
this I have faced many problems,
specially in Maharashtra. -

Abhayji, let us start looking
forward. The society will always
have the divide between the rich
(powerful) and the poor (weak).
Absolute equality is hypothetical.
This universe is based on the theory
of imbalance. Zero, one and infinity
are just an imagination (beyond this
perceivable world). You will find
that only the God is compared with
zero, one and infinity. It reminds
me of some of the concepts of
calculus and physics. The world
exists because there is no perfect
equilibrium (of natural forces). Let
us accept this fact and perform our
duties towards ourselves, our
families and the society. Equality
can be achieved in our minds. So, if
someone is able to see the rich and
the poor in the same light, he is
moving closer to the God. Those who
discriminate among people based on
any parameter are closer to this
perceivable world and moving further
from the conceivable world of God.
What is true for this world may not
be the truth beyond this. Before you
suggest me to join a religious
television channel (or a mental
asylum) to offer my preaching, I
must end this comment here. Thanks.
