There were many obnoxious practices like human sacrifice, slavery, circumcision, caste etc which may have been considered normal in ancient times in all societies. I aslo think that we should not judge ancient societies by modern laws. Thus I have nothing against caste or religion or violence in ancient societies. What I object to is people like Malhothra blaming other ancient civilizations and their obnoxious practices and trying to gloss over ancient Veddic practices such as caste and violence by blaming others such as the British for caste.
My ancestors lived in a violent world and so did the vedic ancestors. But slandering my ancestors and glorifying Vedic ancestors for identical actions is not civilized especially for a well educated man like RM.

Rajiv Malhothra speaks of Christians trying to break up India with money from the West. My dear RM, who was financing the Khalistan movement from the West? 1.You say that caste is a construct by the British. However here at https://velivada.com/2017/05/31/casteist-quotes-verses-manusmriti-law-book-hindus/ are numerous verses from Manusmrithi which came thousands of years before the British which prescribes caste discrimination 2. A huge lie perpetrated by the Sannghis is that caste wasz created by the British while there was only Varrna in ancient India. However Parasuram killed the Kshatriyas 21 times over as revenge for the kshatriyas killing his father., In the process Parasuram killed even pregnant Kshatrriya women and the fetuses therein. How did Parasuram find the Varna of women and unborn children if Varna is determined by merits and abilities? 3. Sambuk was conducting pujas and so he was a Brahmin by Varna. But Ram chopped of his head because Sambuk was a Sudra by birth who was conducting poojas agsainst Vedic laws. So dear RM, you are an educated man with many science degrees to your credit. Such irrational outbursts as you make without any evidence to justify your cock and bull stories do not become a man of your caliber.
