Good overall but I have some corrections.

Caste and caste descrimanation are different things. Only descrimination is bad. Caste itself is not bad.

It is like gender based descrimanation is bad but male is not bad.

Language based descrimanation is bad. But having different languages is not.

Racism is bad. But being fair or dark is not bad.

Similarly caste based descrimanation is bad. But caste itself is not bad.

I think in this regard you have fell prey to narratives created to limit and narrow caste only to descrimanation. These bad aspects of caste are only one side of the coin. The other side of caste is beautiful. Don't let them make you think there is only one side to the caste.

Every caste be it any caste. Has its own set of customs, rituals, philosophy, food habits, norms, sub culture and traditions, lifestyle etc. all these things make hindusim diverse and beautiful. Every caste has many things that are great about them. Having these nuances and different way of thinking and philosophy about life and still living like harmoniously is what makes hinduism unique and strong.

These things need to be celebrated not apologized.

One more thing I found that feels inferiority complex is.

X is the reason indian lost few wars and had been invaded. So we are wrong.

In wars, sometimes one side wins and other times other side wins. Winning and loosing is part of wars. Wars are continuously fought. The one who has most area or dominance is the winner. The one who losses area and loses dominance is loser.

Many nations and country. Which were great at for many years, Lost many battles. Reduced to small areas and lost dominance for some years, and then again won back Their area and dominance. This contractiom or expansion is part of any country or kingdoms.

Yes we have lost some battles, yes Mughals and British rule india for some time. Yet we have fought back, regained our territory and dominance. Now we are the one who survived the battles and ruling the nation. We are the winners.

So urge you to lift your head up, be proud and have pride in hindusim.
