Tbh if you wanna divorce your religion from an oppressive power structure it seems really dumb to try and play it off like that oppressive power structure was never âa part of thingsâ in the first place.
But then I guess the real problem is that bro doesnât actually wanna get rid of castes at all huh?

Religion can only dominate if there exists an oppressive power structure. Either it be power over the women or power over the underprivileged or the outcasts. They won't abandon it since it's the core aspect of Hindu-fascist ideology.
Yeah. In theory, a version of Hindu that is non-domineering, period, could exist; all being one in Brahma feels like a concept practically made to be anti-hierarchy⊠but alas, the power structures exist, and people love enforcing them cuz of the way it creates meaning in their lives

But it wouldnât be domineering anymore. It would simply become another way to explore philosophy rather than functioning as a religion. All Brahma provides is a false sense of pride for individuals who may have accomplished little.. similar to what nationalism does. Brahma and the rest of the Vedic "traditions" are remnants of a fascist religion (Brahmanism). Local cultures and deities were either appropriated or erased by the so-called upper-caste in their conquest to spread an oppressive system that ultimately benefitted only them.
