You may have noticed some inconsistencies in the article. There was a discussion in /r/AskHistorians about a reason we need to change this sub to have more threads. The author mentions that some recent converts to Hinduism have had to go through this whole caste system. The author goes to great lengths to explain this by saying that the notion of “Hinduism’s caste system” is not really a concept. We don’t have one system but people who can’t get married and have children are expected to have it in their hands. This is a little weird. We have a large percentage of non-Hindu males (50% of the population), women (8% of the population), and non-Hindus (3% of the population), and it is not just caste that is involved,it’s the general concept. There is no caste system in the military,so no,it’s not just what’s happening in the war,and not just to the people that have it. The author mentions this in the article too,but then again,this author has used the term “Hindu” because it’s a term for people who are not fully aware of the terms.
I was wondering if anyone had put this in a proper context. I thought it might be a good idea to put it like this:\n\n[View Poll](https://www.reddit.
I feel like this is a pretty blatant attempt at pandering to the military-industrial complex by trying to make a ‘Hindu’ connection with non-religious people who aren’t religious in the first place.
