Re: [mukto-mona] [মুক্তমনা বাংলা ব্লগ] 'শ্রীমদভগবাদগীতা, ভগবানের মুখনিঃসৃত বর্ণবৈষম্যের বিষবাষ্প'

Religious scriptures are only as good as its interpretation. For example, caste system in Gita; it defines four professional castes, meaning four classifications of labor. Those classifications exist in all societies everywhere in the world, and they will be there in the future. At some point in the Sen Dynasty, probably during Ballal Sen, professional classifications were interpreted as classifications of human-beings, and then it was perpetuated as the birth-right. Who is to blame - Scriptures or its interpreters?

I see every day how a Janitorial staff is treated in a civilized country, and I think where people in our societies still are. I know all these misinterpretations of religious scriptures are not just simple mistakes; these are deliberate mistakes of some people in the society.

Gita is said to have been composed during the Abasid regime in Baghdad.  Khrishna is not a Vedic God. His "Sarbadarmam parityajya.." is essentially Islamic in nature.  Those who consider Gita as divine song should study Hinduism beyond elementary level, as their comprehension is not better than that.
