[truth_be_told]

I am questioning you decision here.

"deepglacier/bluetreeroot" are one and the same account engaging in "sock puppet" deception which is completely unethical. Moreover in my original post, i had actually pointed out his/her lack of knowledge on the subject matter and also listed a scholarly and peer-reviewed paper on the subject (see below). Instead all i got was more selective quotes in response. Thus my response was necessarily harsh in order to drive home the point that one needs a nuanced study of the subject and not just random quotes without context.

PS: Here is the paper again: "Caste and purity: A study in the language of the Dharma literature" - https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/006996679803200203
