As an Indian living in America, one of the most annoying kind of people you will meet are those whites who take excessive interest in India, Hinduism and Caste System.
When people “convert” to paganism they never actually convert. They never sit down read the books, dig deep and really figure it out. They just buy a whole new wardrobe and move to the other larp, while maintaining their previous belief system.
Religion isn't a Sports Ball team that you switch when your side is losing.
I’m a white dude who was raised “Hindu” by hippie parents. It was funny when was a rise of pseudo-Hinduism in distant right-wing circles, and I made fun of these one of guys by simply asking him to explain Hinduism was—he couldn’t do it. He then said he was a Kshatriya, and bungled the pronunciation so badly that I laughed at him. He’s Orthodox Christian now.
Rajiv Malhotra called it ‘digestion’ whereby the West tries to explain and account for Hinduism using the lens of the invader. You can’t really do that since Hinduism is a praxic ‘way of life’ set and not a ‘religion’ defined in the orthodox sense (namely ‘believe in x, y and z’)
The white man in question almost certainly did not knew a single Indian. I grew up with them, and while I certainly don’t agree entirely with your comment, I don’t think most people would wish to be something besides the race they are if they are actually familiar with the culture.
As a “Baamini” I do not appreciate the comparison to Jews- we are qualitatively quite a distinct people from them, irrespective of whatever theory you might have about their role and behavior in western societies. Although I do agree with your observations of a certain kind of westerner that tries to bastardize Indian and Hindu concepts.
There are a million places where you might’ve learned to hate on Brahmins, Mr. “Pajeet”(with a name like that I almost doubt that you actually are who you say you are btw) but despising the smartest, most successful and the most dynamic class of people in your society (notice that I did not say “wealthiest”, because as I was always taught, wealth should come from other good qualities and not be an end in itself) with the accusation that they must have somehow stolen or cheated into their position is itself a distinctly foreign way of thinking. I implore you to not fall for it.
Well spotted. And no, you don’t get to tell me what I am or aren’t allowed to discuss, thank you. You may impose such rules in your own “upper caste” family, and feel free to block me if you wish but I will be speaking my mind meanwhile.
You are 100% correct he has no right time tell you anything, until he tricks you into signing up for his yoga studio spirituality class. Then he can dictate terms just fine as an Indian man.
He is completely forgot that step and you are correct in your critique.

Is that what pagans do? Read books?
It is far more pagan to memorize gigantic poems and recite them to music.
I only know about them because moldbug used the term
Please spread my message - "Low-caste whiteys should stick to christianity."

Thank you! Finally someone who gets it!

Fake news. If you know Indians you don't want to be Indian.

It's kanging since most European DNA is from Central Asia.
WHG is more wiped out than Adivasis.
Only thing European has is his women when not ruined by tattoos.
Just explain to West that bastard has no caste LOL

You are a woman. Go back to kitchen.
Send a link of this article to the men in your family. Caste system is meant for upper caste men to discuss. Not women, nor low-caste whites.

Would you date a black queen 🫅🏿?
