I overheard an intriguing conversation between my brother and his friend today on different religions. The conversation started with scientific, logical reasons for several “superstitions” that exist in Hinduism. It branched out into the original requirement for a caste system and how something that started out for administrative purposes turned into something so monstrous and misinterpreted and culminated with Ambedhkar burning manusmriti in 1927.
As juicy and inviting as this conversation sounds, I did not contribute any of my views on the several topics discussed, as I got caught in my own roller coaster of thoughts. I could not help but think that the same conversation would have sounded boring and irritating just two to three years back! How did I not notice the kid inside of me vanishing?! Growing up sucks big time!
