The "Caste" System of India - Was it Based Originally on Skin Color?

Dr. Miano answers a question regarding the origin of the idea that varna in Hindu society is based on the color of someone's skin. How far back does it go? Clarification: This video does not deny the fact that in general, Brahmins are lighter skinned, and Shudras are darker skinned, etc. Neither does it deny the fact that there is skin-color discrimination in many parts of India. It merely answers the question of whether varna was created BASED on skin color. ►LEAVE A COMMENT Be respectful and courteous to other commenters. Challenge the argument, not the person.
