Narendra Modi is fooling around, Elon Musk-style, with the idea of changing the name of his country to “Bharat” as an anti-colonial gesture. And the California legislature has, after much acrimony among Hindus, sent a bill to governor Gavin Newsom’s desk outlawing the ancient Hindu tradition of caste discrimination.

India has always been known as Bharat internally. Modi is only trying to persuade other countries to use the internal name.
The California legislature is carrying on a long tradition of religious bigotry, similar to the Know-Nothings in the 1800s. KKK was anti-Catholic in most places, not anti-black. School prayer was originally another anti-Catholic trick. Bigotry is “different” now because it’s done by “liberals”, but it’s still anti-religious bigotry.

Americans never had to think about caste before, but it’s not too unlikely that both vice presidential candidates in 2024 will be Tamil Brahmins: Kamala Harris and Vivek Ramaswamy.
Indian prime minister Modi, an energetic right-winger, is the man who gets the toilets installed on time. Modi strenuously attacked India’s worst problem—lack of sanitation—by having 110 million toilets hooked up in his first half decade in office.

Sailer doesn’t quite go all the way with Natural Law, which seems a bit unusual for him. In fact and in nature, social animals are always divided into types and roles. Warriors, farmers, artisans, traders, rulers. Ants do it, bees do it, humans do it.
Caste is innate and permanent.
India functions better than US because it doesn’t lie about Nature. Each type takes the jobs and positions it performs best.
For clarity, transfer the concept to non-living things. Coffeecups and skillets are similar in shape, but each has a unique role and a unique set of materials. If you try to fry an egg in a coffeecup or drink from a skillet, you’ll create a mess.
Politicians and farmers have similarly shaped bodies and heads and limbs, but each has a unique INNATE role and a unique INNATE set of skills. If you try to rule a country with a farmer or plow a field with a politician, you’ll create a mess.
It’s no coincidence that Kamala and Vivek are Brahmins. Rulers rule.

Irrelevant footnote: I used to wonder why we chose internal names for some countries but had our own English name for others. India seems obvious: the voiced aspirate Bh is difficult. BUT: We use the same sound in our external name for Bhutan, and the internal name is Druk-yul. In general our name is closer to the internal for Latinate countries and farther from the original for others, including Germanic.
Now the choice is more obviously political. When we switch to the internal name it means we’ve conducted a Color Revolution and the country is ours.
