India is like europe rather than a single country

2017-04-02 13:59:37 UTC  

so they received this text, which wasn't followed, the manu smriti, and made a legalized version of it

2017-04-02 13:59:53 UTC  

kind of ironic, but that's how it happened

2017-04-02 14:00:00 UTC  

if you look at varna all the way back to the rig veda

2017-04-02 14:00:09 UTC  

the kshatriya were the dominant ones, followed by the brahmins

2017-04-02 14:00:20 UTC  

this was likely when these people were still steppe warriors

2017-04-02 14:00:43 UTC  

you can find their traces all the way from the middle east (mittani), to iran (indo-iranian derivatives) to of course, India

2017-04-02 14:01:01 UTC  

but when they settled down in paradise by the ganges

2017-04-02 14:01:07 UTC  

because it really was a very rich and fertile land

2017-04-02 14:01:25 UTC  

they encountered the dravidian cultures

2017-04-02 14:01:45 UTC  

and surpassed them in warlike strength (but of course, the dravidians were tame agriculturalists)

2017-04-02 14:01:50 UTC  

but even they had a warrior culture

2017-04-02 14:01:51 UTC  

and brown

2017-04-02 14:01:58 UTC  

sure, austronesian

2017-04-02 14:02:09 UTC  

but then as is usual

2017-04-02 14:02:17 UTC  

their cultures assimilated

2017-04-02 14:02:28 UTC  

top down, with the indo-iranians on top of course

2017-04-02 14:02:32 UTC  

but still with a lot of bottom up

2017-04-02 14:02:44 UTC  

and a distinction in India to this day between a north and south

2017-04-02 14:02:55 UTC  

should be more northwest and southeast

2017-04-02 14:03:04 UTC  

but, THAT, after assimilation

2017-04-02 14:03:12 UTC  

is when the brahmin class superseded the warrior and king class

2017-04-02 14:03:19 UTC  

when they assimilated with dravidians, settled down

2017-04-02 14:03:29 UTC  

and formed a more intellectual culture as a result, in a land of plenty

2017-04-02 14:03:34 UTC  

so?

2017-04-02 14:03:43 UTC  

the older warrior, ritual, viking-of-the-land culture died down

2017-04-02 14:03:57 UTC  

and was replaced by an arguably higher searching

2017-04-02 14:04:15 UTC  

brahminism is a result of the melding of indo-aryan culture with dravidian culture

2017-04-02 14:04:17 UTC  

is my point

2017-04-02 14:04:46 UTC  

they used to be a different thing, a priestly/shamanic caste alone

2017-04-02 14:04:58 UTC  

they became the intellectual and dominant class later

2017-04-02 14:07:58 UTC  

Guernsey cow milk ☺

2017-04-02 14:08:41 UTC  

krishna is so black, he's blue

2017-04-02 14:08:54 UTC  

bhairava, the warrior avatar of shiva is a nigger

2017-04-02 14:09:21 UTC  

shiva himself is blue-necked, neelakantha

2017-04-02 14:15:09 UTC  

exilarch isn't interested in hearing factual information about brahmin unless it comes from a diaper fur sonic freak grooming him to join his ranks

2017-04-02 14:15:54 UTC  

however I appreciate that bit of knowledge fallot

2017-04-02 14:16:19 UTC  

"brahminism is a result of the melding of indo-aryan culture with dravidian culture"

2017-04-02 14:16:32 UTC  

diversity is bad though
