RE: Cryptocurrency to Annihilate India's Caste System

"Veda Vyasa: He was born to a fisherwomen and he is the author of the Mahabharata."

I'm not a scholar, but my recollection regarding the Mahabharata is that the written document is ~5k years old, and it is not contentious to claim it was an oral history for thousands of years prior to becoming a written document. Ascribing it to an author is simply not possible. Claiming Veda Visaya wrote the Mahabharata is akin to claiming Moses wrote the Pentateuch. The claim can be nothing but dogma, and is impossible to confirm factually.

While this is of little consequence in all honesty, it does require considering your remarks with no expectation of fact.

There is no doubt that the caste system in India yet affects it's people. This does not mean it is enshrined in law there, but neither is it utterly repudiated and of null effect. Fortunately, it is not something I have had to live under, nor do I expect I will. The affect of cryptocurrency on Indian law and the rights of it's people is of questionable consequence in light of the questionable consequence of Indian law itself on the rights of it's people today, given the yet persistent affect of the caste system.
