    - One of the main problems of Left is that they only know Gita and Manusmriti as source of casteism. Hindus simply say but they're just two books.

    - Instead, tell right wing about Dharmasutras - Apastambha Dharmasutra, Gautama Dharmasutra, Vaisista Dharmasutra, Baudhyana Dharmasutra, etc.

    - Tell right wing about Puranas - how Bhagavad Purana bars women and Shudras from reading Vedas, how several Puranas tell people to put molten lead in Shudra's ears if they hear Vedas, etc.

    - Tell them about how Chandogya Upanishad discriminates against Candalas.

    - Tell them how Arthashastra, a non-religious document from ancient India, mostly deals with caste system and establishing discriminatory rules against Shudras.
