Man must live truly, authentically, happily and in a carefree way. The concept of soul,   evil, sin and liberation is nothing but to confuse the mind so that man may not understand   the reason for suffering. The castes and sub- castes, the poor and the rich, touchables and   untouchables, all are creations and by - products of mental attitude and there is no   metaphysical reality behind it as claimed by Vedantic philosophy. Every human being is   evolved by and survives trough the same process and way which has been scientifically   proved by Anthropology and Archaeology. If that were not the case, inter caste and inter   community marriages would not result in birth.

      As a first step towards eradication of casteism, of which scheduled castes are the   victims, these castes ( themselves divided in to subcastes ) should remove their own   differences and dine and sit with each other, only then will they be in a position to oppose   Brahmanism and caste system.

      The Vedic philosophy preaches the principles of caste system, hell and heaven rebirth,   dogmatism and fatalism. Man is not the centre of this philosophy. What is more important is   transcendental reality which no one has perceived and experienced . The caste system is   pre-set by metaphysical reality. One should not strive for betterment in this life, rather one   should bother about future life, the thing after death . If anyone is suffering, it is due to the   cause of this past actions hence it is futile to strive to bring any change in this life .This   justifies untouchability, exploitation and poverty. In short , the core of Vedant is   transcendental reality. The world which we see and experience is mere image and illusion .   Thus this world is illusion .

       On the contrary we believe in existence of this world which is real and shall be lived and   enjoyed . Therefore we should discard such philosophy and find out the cause of suffering .   Once the cause of suffering is ascertained there is way to destroy it . Suffering is not due to   past actions, but because of ignorance, illiteracy and fatalism . For removal of suffering we   would go for education, scientific temper, logic, struggle and hard labour. Women and   shudras have in the past been equated with animals who deserve whipping and can not   receive education . But Buddha Club is opposed to Vaidic philosophy and believes in a   system which is caste less and classless and which only can bring about strength and   integrity of the nation and well being of all .
