Acharya Prashant asserts that the caste system is entirely bogus and lacks any valid criteria for dividing humanity. He argues that even if one considers it a division of labor, basing such a system on birth is illogical, as vocation and wisdom are not hereditary traits. He describes caste as a relic of the past that has outlived any perceived utility and should be relegated to history and museums. According to him, the caste system is merely an expression of the ego's tendency to create boundaries and divisions, similar to how the ego uses gender, money, race, or skin color to separate people. He notes that these divisions are not unique to Hinduism but exist in various forms across all religions and regions because the egoistic mind always seeks to divide.
