The caste system is much deeper than that!

I have read a lot about the caste system and watched several videos on the topic

For instance, the untouchables are actual a non-caste not belonging to the 4 caste clas starting from the Brahmins.

There is massive intertribal datings amongst Nigerians even though mariage may not result due to tribal differences

Despite that, there are lots of intertribal marraiges in the country and much more common amongst Nigerians with middle class upbringing who are totally devoid of crass tribalism. Many can't even speak their native tongues. English is the only language they know

Ita not just Nigeria. Its all over the world. Cultures and languages are dying out.

Well i know where I stand and thats enough for me.

Exxit:
you're not Indian. I've seen those photos Online in the past for sumthing different... well every One has to lie to be famous here

What photo have you seen? Show me?

Or else follow my instagram: heggade

Baroba:
Indians are fucking racists, I have interacted with a lot of them, deal with the stupid cast system in your country before talking of giving your so called daughters out..

BTW, a lot of Indians dated Nigerian guys when I was in Uni in UK, but the did it undercover. So many cases of messed up Indian fathers and their stupid sons killing daughters for dating outside there race..

Not as raci.dt as dumbarse blacks who keep bleaching their skin.

There is no caste system today but we are proud of our tribal and ethnic cultures. Go deal with ebola aids and selling your women 4 pro.stitution first u dingbat.

Obviously once ppl go abroad they lose their culture. But you wont find such cases among my tribe.

Exxit:
Dude you're not Indian. Lmao.. I have Indian friends here in the u.s and they said they have no idea of what you saying

They are not Indian . They are american.

IamAtribalist:
That's a lie. EVERY single Indian dude or gal I know in America wants a WHITE woman or man. Indians worship WHITE people. That is why in India if your skin is closer to white skin you are seen as kinda of superior. FACT.

Not all Indians are tribals and from traditional caste - backgrounds.

You are seeing the wasted american generation. Come to my country and you will see for yourself. Even if you are as white as the full moon but not from my tribe or caste, you are rejected.

Godgay:
isn't that kind of racist,discoursing interracial relationship

No its not. I have a duty to preserve my tribal culture ; faith, tradition, language and family name and pass it onto my future generation. I want my children to get a proper home. My ancestors were feudal lords and I come from a respectful family. Id prefer carrying out my duty towards my culture over some cheap s.exual temptation.

Thank Gods we Indians dont give our daughters to black or white. Aslong as u belong to our tribe that is sufficient regardless of your skin color.

grandstar:
Among the over 250 tribes iin Nigeria, only the igbos have a caste and that consist no more than a small number of untouchables who totally reject the tag and many even marry free born igbos

Caste doesnt mean untouchable. Caste means occupation. E.g. among Marghi of Adamawa, you have Ingyakgu (blacksmith), Mbilim (farmer/warrior) and Mafakur (former slave) caste.

And also many castes in India have tribes as well. So its basically a tribal custom to marry within your tribe.

E.g. in Nigeria under "normal" circumstances, a Yoruba will marry Yoruba rather than Hausa or Fulani. An Igbo would marry an Igbo rather than a Jukun or Nupe. You get the point?

grandstar:
is it compulsory one marries within his caste or even sub caste

Yes according to Hinduism and caste/tribal law.

Its the same all over the world. Although things are changing this generation. How else can A tribe maintain its purity?

Any self-respecting Nigerian who still follows, promotes and supports the evil cult ideology that gave rise to boko haram is a brainwashed psycopath .

If bh must end then, Nigerians following muslim faith must come forward and renounce their allegiance to the desert cult. They must declare their worship to the Gods of their ancestors.

Emmysteve:
check the attached picture

No i mean for non-Nigerians.

Blyzz:

It jas always been my dream. I wish i knew the procedure.

Im Indian. Can i join?

The true Arabs are from Qahtan. Not from any judaic connection of ishmael which was forged post-islam. Every Arab knows that. Abraham never built the Kaaba.

Annunaki:
Your analogy is faulty as Abraham never visited mecca talkless of building the kabba. Infact the city of mecca did not exist until about three hundred years before mohammed whilst abraham lived at least 3,000 years before him. The whole Abraham thing in the islamic religion was conjured up by mohammed to give credence to his newly invented religion.

I agree to this.

taiyesoul:
Valiant Woman. God is behind you. May this not be your last in Jesus Name. You are greatly appreciated. Keep it up please.

Goddamn your jesus. Dumb jew has to be brought into everything.

Godgay:
okay that's cool,about the incarnation, how about when you come to life again is it based on what you did in past life

Reincarnation. We know the soul doesnt die. Thats all.

Yeah karmic consequences can be heavy.

nemesis2u:
lol

Hinduism= candy
Buddhism= candy wrapper

Exactly.

Godgay:
okay pls what's the major difference between this religion and Buddhism

Buddhism is manmade. Hinduism is natural.

stonemasonn:
which of the Gods is responsible for wealth and success and which is for good health?

Depends on the idol you choose.

In our culture , its generally Lord Ganesha. (Thus the bug elephant head).

Goddess Saraswati also though she is more towards the music arts and the creative aspects and designa of nature.

Health.. could be any God I guess. Im not sure. It is mostly karmic consequences.

FOOD AND ITS CHARACTER: SATVIK, RAJSIK, TAMASIK-


According to Indian Ayurveda Shastras, Food categories into three types SATVIK< RAJSIK< TAMASIK corresponding to their properties: In Ayurveda, there is a saying that any food item, which grows under the ground, is Tamsik in nature and one, which comes from the top of the tree or plant like leaves, flower and fruits are Satvik in nature
Satvik food provides calmness, purity and promotes longevity, intelligence, strength, health, happiness and delight. The examples of Satvik food items are fruits, vegetables, leaves, grains, cereals, milk, honey, etc. These items can be consumed as they are. One can live on Satvik food for life. . Satvik food is usually fresh, seasonal and locally grown.
The foods grouped under Satvik are:
* Vegetarian food without Onion & Garlic
*Non-refined cereals
*Milk and its derivatives
*Fruits and Juices
Consumption of the above mentioned aids in guarding the mind in a state of restful alertness, hence leading to improved concentration and reduces lethargy.
Rajsik food is mixture of hot, spicy and salty food items with pungent taste, promote negativity, passion and restlessness and High Blood pressure etc.
*The foods grouped under Rajsik are;
*Hot & Spicy Food
*Refined Cereals
*Fried & Junk Food
*Meat and non-vegetarian food
Consumption of the above mentioned leads to cholesterol, hypertension, irritability and mood-swings.
These foods create sensuality, sexuality, greed, jealousy, anger, delusion, fantasies, egotism and irreligious feelings. People, who consumed Rasik food more, are interested in the four P's – power, prestige, position and prosperity. But they are quite in control of their lives and aren’t obsessed by any of the above.

The foods grouped under Tamsik are:
*Meat & other non-vegetarian food
*Tea, Coffee and other caffeinated beverages
*Alcohol & Tobacco
*Stale Food
Consumption of the above mentioned leads to lack of concentration, sleeping disorders, anger outbursts and acidity. Tamsik food promote in our body dullness and ignorance, because it takes time for digestion. The person who eats only Tamasik food, has insecurity, and is unable to deal with others in a balanced way. They have little regard for the welfare of others and tend to be very self-centered. Their nervous system and heart do not function optimally and such individuals age fast. They usually suffer from conditions like cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and chronic fatigue.

deloon:
Please share more articles. I would like a better of understanding of Hinduism and possibly other Indian traditional religions.

Sure just follow me.

My religion is an Indian Traditional Religion not Vedic Hinduism although we follow both.

I recently posted a thread in the culture section but had to shut it due to lots of mockery and abuse against my faith.

Godgay:
lol,me gay?,infinite, sound cool,how are the sacrifice offered

Ur name says so.

Sacrifices: Most folk Hinduism and tribal Hinduism follow animal sacrifice as well as plant sacrifice depending on the culture. But the majority Hindu of Aryavrata follow strictly plant-based sacrifi e.


Generally offered foods are symbolically distributed back to the public as blessings (prasad) of the diety.

Sacrifice is generally food because it is a badic necessity of life. However other actions can also imply a sacrifice.e.g. burning of incense etc.



The Sanskrit yajna (yajña, modern Hindi pronunciation: yagya) is often translated as "sacrifice" (also "offering, oblation", or more generically as "worship".It is especially used to describe the offering of ghee (clarified butter), grains, spices, and wood into a fire along with the chanting of sacred mantras. The fire represents Agni, the divine messenger who carries offerings to the Devas.The offerings can represent devotion, aspiration, and seeds of past karma. In Vedic times, yajna commonly included the sacrifice of milk, ghee, curd, grains, and the soma plant—animal offerings were less common.In modern times, yajna is often performed at weddings and funerals, and in personal worship. Sacrifice in Hinduism can also refer to personal surrender through acts of inner and outer worship.
Yagyas involve strictly plant sacrifice today.

Jomo Kenyatta (c. 1891 – 22 August 1978) was a Kenyan politician and the first President of Kenya.
Kenyatta was the leader of Kenya from independence in 1963 to his death in 1978, serving first as Prime Minister (1963–64) and then as President (1964–78). He is considered the founding father of the Kenyan nation. Kenyatta was a well-educated intellectual who authored several books, and is remembered as a Pan-Africanist.

one of his most famous quotes is
"When the Missionaries arrived, the Africans had the Land and the Missionaries had the Bible. They taught how to pray with our eyes closed. When we opened them, they had the land and we had the Bible".

this is quite tragic and funny too

but on a serious note food for thought and deep introspect .

That quotes originly by bishop Desmond Tutu I believe.

hungryboy:
Ok boss,

Haha sure man you are welcome anytime. You will enjoy the rural areas. Not much fun in the hig cities .

hungryboy:

My first language is Tulu. Second language is English.

Mostly South Indians substitute Hindi with English.

hungryboy:

We are still agitating for separate statheood. For now we are included in Karnataka state, but our language, culture and religion us different from the Kannada speaking peoples.

hungryboy:

No thats extreme South.

Im from South Canara region. (Tuluva Nadu).

hungryboy:

Snake charmers are mostly in the North. And these days they are not so common. Im from the South-West.

Elijahrona2:
