Blast from the Past Part 4: Charvaka asks Rashmun for clarification and then thanks Rashmun

Pavan Pamidimarri posted Re: Adi Sankar and Sudras on 5 yrs ago:
I have a question. In Adi Shankara's view, was the caste
system (and therefore the shudra identity) simply based on birth, or
did he leave room for a shudra to become a brahmin and vice-versa? The
latter seems to be the standard defense of the caste system, so it would
be good to know how this defense squares with the writings of Adi
Shankara. I would love to see the defenders of ancient India's caste
system explain how they reconcile their opinions with Adi Shankara's
view of shudras quoted above. After all they talk often about an "ideal"
system which was devised for "societal harmony" distorted and abused
later; I wonder if they admit the possibility that Shankara himself was
guilty of such abuse and distortion.PS: I find it telling that the
primary response to all your recent posts about Shankara has been
name-calling.

Wow. That's a really insightful and scathing indictment
of the caste system. I didn't know Saha wrote historical / social
commentary. Thanks for the quotes from Ray and Saha. Very interesting
perspectives from two of our most brilliant modern scientists.

Any comments, Charvaka? Do you regret asking a 'shameless liar' for a clarification and then thanking the said 'shameless liar' after he had taken the trouble to clarify your doubt?

--> Yup. Since we differ on the question of regionalism i become a shameless liar. Since we were in agreement on Indian philosophy (Charvaka philosophy, svabhava vada, nyaya-vaisesika etc.) i was someone to be praised and appreciated.

--> The fact of the matter is that i blame not you but your upbringing.

Good, finally! Let's get it over with. Mother, father, etc. All of CH is waiting for you to do the usual.

Not true, shameless liar! You become a shameless liar because you repeatedly write lies, and when evidence is presented proving that you are lying, you ignore it and repeat your lies. That is what makes you a shameless liar, okay?

--> no, i will not blame your father and mother since i do not know anything about them. but its your dishonest, fraudulent uncle i refer to about who you had spoken about on CH a few times. This fraud--your uncle--is a practicing priest even though he does not know Sanskrit properly and consequently does not do the chanting of mantras properly. But he is able to make good money by befooling the people.
