on Indian culture...many a times the caste system is represented in an exaggerated and wrong way. There is nothing called Brahmin Supremacy in Caste system.
Vedas are the basic books of Hinduism, Vedas were codified by Ved Vyasa, who was the son of a fisherwoman.
The great Ramayana by a Scheduled Tribe, forest robber, Ratnakara who later turned into Sage Valmiki.
Sri Krishna, one of the most important dieties, gods was from Yadav Kula, which is a so-called scheduled caste. Ram and Krishna were never fair but dark. The great Brahmin Shankaracharya had a Chandala guru.
Thats where the Vedas say "Jananal jayathe marthya, karmana jayathe brahmana". A man is only born as a normal human being, he only by his efforts can attain Brahminhood" and that is the goal of humanity..Brahminhood, to know Brahmam, whether u call it Brahman, Tao, Dhamma, Kingdom of God...what the wise mean is the one, the one without which everything is empty, and the one with which everything is complete.
I am a fan of Josh Schrei, who helped me understand G-O-D (Generator-Operator-Destroyer) concept of the divine that is so pervasive in the Vedic tradition/experience. Quantum Theology by Diarmuid O'Murchu and Josh Schrei article compliments the spiritual implications of the new physics.
