| Jan 27, 2021 at 7:50 | comment | added | Harshiv | @Pradip Gangopadhyay Varna classification seem to indicate intrinsic properties attained because of being born to certain parents in certain condition, as well as a child born to certain parents will be like copy/image of the parents. So a virtuous Brahmin's child will grow be like him. An alcoholic's child will tend to mirror his father-- in a way this says: where you're born will largely affect your lifestyle. | |

| Dec 10, 2020 at 13:13 | comment | added | Pradip Gangopadhyay | So why is birth in an endogamous group used to determine Varna? What is the connection with conduct? | |
| Dec 9, 2020 at 12:12 | comment | added | Rickross | "As you can see Chandogya Upanishad is specifying conduct as the reason for different births" --- All Hindu scriptures say that nothing peculiar to Upanishads. Your Karma determines what will be your next life. | |
