What can be done to eradicate the caste system in Sikhism?

The caste system cannot be eradicated unless ‘caste is eradicated’. Annihilation of ALL traces of caste is the only solution.

A mere belief that a person has a caste is ‘propagation of the caste system’ because the ONLY purpose of belonging to a caste is to plug into the caste system.

STEPS TO ANNIHILATE CASTE (Mainly understanding):

 Let every Sikh know that if they have a caste, “They are not Sikhs” and

1. IF they are Sikhs, they do not have a caste.

2.  Let them know that if they believe they have a caste, they are Hindus and should stop complaining when the RSS/Brahmins calls them Hindus.

3. Let them know that it is the casteist Sikh that is the greatest enemy of Sikhism and not the Manuvadi Brahmin. Caste Identity turns your head away from the essence of true Sikhism.

 4. Ask the question and keep asking until caste is annihilated , “In modern society, Is there ANY benefit of having a caste identity?” 

Nobody has a caste. It is man-made to control man. Your ancestors were MADE TO BELIEVE that they belonged to or had a caste. A belief that you have a caste is psychological condition which CAN BE CURED. Its just a matter of understanding.

The above points are in line with Sikh philosophy.

5. Now go ahead and propagate the above and set an example for other Sikhs to follow. When the khalsa was established, the adherents FIRST discarded their caste identities.
