Being borned, lived in india, I can say this. I haven't seen any basis for your interpretation. Being Vaishas, I have no clue of what Trade means. Most of my friends were brahmins, I am 100% sure that they have neither inclination or care about Spiritualism or Intellectualism. At best, they can mug and recite some sanskrit slokas, whose meaning, they are not aware. Gandhi is vaishas and it mean nothing.efeuvete said:That reminds an idea that came to me some two years ago during a peaceful moment, sitting under a tree shadow, and thinking about Hindu Castes and Psychopaths. I mean Hindu Castes as they should be when they were defined thousands of years ago, not as they are today. The Castes are:
Brahmins (Spiritual, Intellectual, Artistic people)
Ksathriyas (Warriors, Politic people)
Vaishas (Trade people)
Shudras (Service providers people)
Untouchables... Those people you must take care their shadow don't touch you.
After a while I concluded that very well Shudras could be OP's and Untouchables... Psychopaths
And these days, reading Mouravieff Gnosis III, I found him telling something similar regarding The Untouchables Caste.
Just like every thing, All categorizations served one purpose, despite all the intentions- to divide, conquer and bleed.
