Dear Isha, starting with the system from your own surroundings is okay. I have only problems with a caste system when it is rigid and one has to stick to one's own caste. You didn't say this, but suppose the consequence is that one should stay in his own caste, taking the best of Sanatana Dharma (for that caste), and wish for the best, it doesn't make sense to me. The social aspect of a caste system is one thing, but unfortunately the spiritual and ritual aspects are also adapted and bound to castes. Rigidity, I believe, is not in the general interest. regards, Ishwa
