In Buddhism you have these Hinayana and Mahayana sects.
These sects have different places of worship
Iin Hinduism , people of all caste go to the same place of worship.

Hinduism divides or unites?

well, all the things u have said above is nothing to do with
CASTE SYAYTEM".
its to do with religiouse belivies !!!

i dont know whether u accpet or might get angrey or dont know, i have lodzz if hindu friends , but some of them eat meat but( not COW )and some of them arent and both have different expliantion , but it doesnt mean that they are not hindu , yes they are hindus (as i think) , but with different beleives , THIS is SAME AS with SUNNI and SHIA muslim, both ppl are muslim but with bit different belevies.
...............................................

point number two, CLASS SYSTEM which totaly different thing, and class system is about a family"s wealth , here in ireland ppl say , i belong to middle class family , it means they arent very rich either very poor, and its all over the world, NOT ONLY IN PAKISTAN!!!

so class system and caste system are two different thing not ONE!!

i hope u ppl understand , what i am saying

I hope you understand the exact debate topic and the reason why some of us needed to make the posts you quoted there. If not, then I would suggest that read all the pages before defending Pakistaan or Islaam. this topic does not touch any of those two😊

The pattern of social classes in Hinduism is called the "caste system." The chart shows the major divisions and contents of the system. Basic caste is called varn.a, or "color." Subcaste, or jti, "birth, life, rank," is a traditional subdivision of varn.a.

Caste system, introduced by manu were based on the Karma. he also mentions for stages of life
Brahmcharya, Grashta, Vanprastha and Sanyasam.

It had nothing to do with birth, but strictly on your work. man has always been power hungry, so gradually, it got converted into family. So it is not karma wise anymore. Originally there was nopthing wrong with caste system, it got polluted 🤢
Brahmin class took all they could they prove themself superior.

They also went to extent in explaining that Every creature in this world is created by the God, Brahma. Brahmins are thought to be created from the mouth of Brahma to symbolize teacher groups.(Superior) Kshatriya are thought to be created from the arms of Brahma to symbolize warriors. Vaishyas are thought to be created from the lap of Brahma to symbolize a mother feeding her baby (trade & commerce of today). And Sudras are thought to be created from the feet of Brahma to symbolize a weight bearer. Therefore, the Brahmins are considered uppermost caste of society

Even the stages of life has changed, Sanyasam has become one of more luxorious life of the human kind now 😆 Naughty in fourty 😆

This means that no matter what class you ar ein. Temple is same for all of them. You want to go to any four Dham (Our holy place) you can go there despite of what you are and what you follow. No one will try to preach you or will force you to convert...and food has nothing to do with caste system 😃

😆 if I am not mistaken, you are the one who dragged in Islaam in to this topic right on page 1 and Bholi Bhali dragged in Pakistaan. We were simply discussing how castesism affects various people from all walks of life in India😊 For your kind information, castesism does exist within Indian muslims😊 That said and done, no one here is bashing either Islaam or Pakistaan...so just chill dear😊

As far as the post you are quoting over and over again, it was simply to establish the fact that discrimination does exist in each and every religion based on one or the other criteria. This post was made in response to defenses you and Bholi posted for Islaam. The poster did not single out Islaam there.

but y he/she said

shia muslim and sunni muslim doesne go to the same musjaid etc etc

does it relates to caste system?

the only thing i can get from this pragraaph is that "hindus are the only one reliogion which does not divied its unties, i mean they r the only one , where all hindus goes to same te,ple but none of the other religion ,

sorry to say , BUT i think u hve no right to say something like that to other religion ( i know i had made somemistakes in other topic) but ..anywayyyy

if my understanding is wrong , please explian it to me , why thsese word/ example has been used? and their meaning?

also after reading that , i had explained it , about shia muslim and sunni muslim are belongs to one religion except for some difference which u SHOULd not call dividing / two unities etc.

i hope someone could , or the person has said this , could tell me/ explain it to me , y and the purpose of this saying?😊
