Summary: Brahminism which is the scientific name for Hinduism, is not a religion like Christianity, Islam or Budhism. It is an ideology. Those who subscribe to this ideology may be born Brahmins or even non- Brahmins like Kshatiryas, Vaishyas and some top landed shudra castes. In fact, some non —Brahmin castes are better practitioners of Brahminism than the Brahmins who are its prime promoters. Even some Untouchables and Tribals are getting brahminised. But whether they be Brahmins or non -Brahmins, nobody has gained by holding on to this anti -human ideology except that it helps the strong to exploit the weak.
