After reading chapter 15 Religion and Science, Bridging Hindu/Muslim Divide, I agree with Sikhism. There shouldn't be your God or my God, religion was created by humans. The caste system was created by humans who were well off, more wealthier or educated than others. The Hindu book, Bhagavad
Gita, does not mention the caste or the status of a person, instead it states that all human beings should treat each other equally.
Hindu's in Fiji Island, does not believe in the caste system. In 1800's when British took Indian's from all over India to Fiji, to work on the sugar cane plantation. The caste system was dropped, because we had no connection to India. Fijian -Indian's follow the religion but there has been a lot of changes. Our food is heavily influence by Nepal, and the dialect has changed as well.
