Gross Malpractice of the Caste System

I'm saddened by the gross misunderstanding and misuse of the "Caste System". The Hindus have gravely mutated the knowledge of Varna - human nature and temperaments. This malpractice and ignorance by the Hindus then became a weapon by non-Hindus against Hinduism, to convert lower castes to their faith, or by Western societies to demean Hinduism. There is still immense ignorance about the caste system both among Hindus and non-Hindus.
