Husky, I know most of the weastern people don't have ideas about the real meaning of Jatis, but I understand they are like trade unions or job unions or what else and that the purpose of Jatis is to teach the right dharma and way of life to people.
I also have to say I don't have the common weastern ideas about India, I'm studing its history (precisely now the Mugal period) and I also know somathing in general about the ancient texts like Mahabharata, Ramayana, Upanishad and Baghavat Geta so I'm tryng to come inside the Bharati way to live and to see the world. But I still don't understand why your connection to the past needs to live inside Jatis and not just inside your heart.
Weasterns don't need so much to feel connected to past, if I had such a feeling I'd have to eat meat as my parents and all my family do, but I find inside my mind the desire to stop eating meat and now this is my lifestyle.
If anyone wants to maintan his/her traditions can do it also in a society living without Jatis, won't you live with your family and learn by them also without this Jati system?
I know any of my words can be misundarstand or may be I don't express my thaughts correctly, the thing I want to say can be better explained with this: why Jatis can't change becoming a job-corporation in which you decide to take part also if your parents are taking part in something different?
