where do white people fall in the Indian caste system? if i moved to India as a blue-eyed, German-American ginger
male, would I qualify as Brahmin?

>>212964525 (OP)
Whites would fall under the "mlecchá" category in the Indian caste system, which is the lowest group, even below the Dalits.
It does not matter what kind of white you are; you could be an aristocrat or a royal, but you would still be at the bottom.

what if i legally changed my name to a Brahmin name and bought land before moving there

You are conflating distinct roles. Brahmins are not supposed to own land. That responsibility was assigned to Kshatriyas and, in some cases, Vaishyas. Brahmins are supposed to sustain themselves by begging for food from Kshatriyas and Vaishyas, a practice known as bhikṣā, which is considered an act of charity known as bhikṣā-dāna on the part of the giver.
You cannot change your caste simply by changing your name or even your profession. It is determined by your bloodline or ancestry.

It's still much lower than the amount of land owned by the landowning castes (see pic). Brahmins own the least land among all upper castes. Kshatriyas, or Kshatriya-equivalents in regions without a four-tiered varṇa system, own the most.
>Yes, and I am a pale-skinned Aryan.
You’d be classified as a mlecchá or anārya according to traditionalists. I'm sorry, but that's just how it is.

Why didn't britbongs get rid of the caste system?

>>212965025
wtf are Indians this based?

>>212966657
We were the first people in Indian history to try and we made a real dent in it, it's very deeply ingrained though.

Unironically should have just annihalted the Brahmin and Kshatriya caste, they're the subhumans doing the most damage to their own country

>>212966657
Why didn't you get rid of racism?
The British aristocrats themselves were treated like low castes >>212965025. How do you expect them to get rid of the caste system?

Brahmin because they love white pipo

>>212964525 (OP)
isnt it obvious?
caste systems correlate with extreme xenophobia

>Dalit: Beggar
This isn't exactly right. Brahmins were supposed to be the beggars. They were expected to sustain themselves by seeking alms from Kshatriyas and Vaishyas.
Here's a quote from the Āpastamba Dharmasūtra, Prāśna I, Pāṭala 1, Khanda 3, verse 28:
>भवति भिक्षाम् इति ब्राह्मणः प्रार्थयेत
Which translates to:
>A Brāhmaṇa is to beg for alms, beginning his request with the courteous address "bhavati."
Dalits were traditionally assigned tasks like leather work, dealing with animal carcasses, sanitation work, etc.,
