It's 12th January. Birth anniversary of #SwamiVivekananda. So let's celebrate the birth anniversary of one of the most casteist and sexist leaders of this country.

"The Hindoo is taught to see in every woman his mother, and no man wants to marry his mother...We consider marriage a low vulgar state, and if a man does marry, it is because he needs a helpmate for religion." (CWV:- Vol-II) What a logic!

"...quality and birth make caste, not money. No amount of money can do anything for you in India." (CWV :- Vol- II) Yes, only caste can.
#SwamiVivekananda said "... Birth make caste.."

"Jealousy, hatred and avariciousness are born of money-getters. Here it is all work, hustle and bustle. Caste saves a man from all this." (CWV :-Vol-II) Yes, so called lower castes have never been hatred, discriminated & oppressed.

"Caste has kept us alive as a nation, and while it has many defects, it has many more advantages." (CWV :-Vol-II) Can anyone tell me few advantages of caste? #SwamiVivekananda

"Caste is a very good thing. Caste is the plan we want to follow. What caste really is, not one in a million understands." (CWV:-Vol-V) Yes, only those who has for this, can understand. Nobody else. #SwamiVivekananda

"The plan in India is to make everybody a Brahmin. The Brahmin being the ideal of humanity. (CWV :-Vol-V) Joke of the millennium. #SwamiVivekananda

"Where would you be if there were no caste? Where would be your learning and other things, if there were no caste? There would be nothing left for the Europeans to study if caste had never existed! The Mohammedans would have smashed everything to pieces." (CWV :-Vol-V)

"Caste should not go... It's sheer nonsense to desire the abolition of caste." (CWV :- Vol-V) #SwamiVivekananda

"And then every man going out of the Hindu pale is not only a man less, but an enemy the more." (CWV :-Vol-V) So, this is the real face of Liberal #SwamiVivekananda

"Converts from different castes and aliens were all able to combine under that flag and form a caste by themselves" (CWV :-Vol-V) So, "Dil mange more" #SwamiVivekananda

"It is owing to caste that three hundred millions of people can find a piece of of bread to eat yet." (CWV :-Vol-V) Have never heard more bizzare "logic" than this. #SwamiVivekananda

And what was his view on women "a widow is not expected to ever marry again." (CWV :-Vol-IX) #SwamiVivekananda

"Widows were not burned on the funeral pyre of their husband unless it is a voluntary act of self-immolation" (CWV :- Vol-IX) Bcoz #SwamiVivekananda had to defend brahminism.
