Caste system is a curse, should be rooted out: Ramdev

Yoga guru Baba Ramdev on Monday said that the caste system was a curse which should be rooted out for the holistic development of the country. Stating that Hindu religious texts do not endorse caste-based discrimination, Ramdev added that people misinterpreted the Vedas, Upanishads, and Manusmriti without studying them. All religions across the world are equal, he added.
