Is this prejudice?

I am just going to plainly state what I think. I thought maybe it might sound prejudiced, but its each to his own.

There was no Aryan invasion. And the Vedic Indian society that existed before that was the best. The one where there were only four divisions in society. And a theory to back that, which says the Brahman comes from the Head of God [hence the intellect and responsibility to perform yagnyas for the sake of others]; the Kshatriya comes from the ‘Bhuja’s (shoulders)of God [hence the power to fight and protect one’s country]; The Vaishya comes from the thighs of God [hence the ability to travels the world for trade leading to prosperity]; the Shoodhra comes from the feet of the God [hence the ability to serve others].

The point here is, each person born is born into one of these four realms and each one does what one does best. And so each should pursue what will come to him naturally which will just go on to enable the society prosper as a whole. Guess Adam smith said something on these lines. As in the movie Beautiful Mind, Nash says – ‘Adam Smith was incomplete when he said – everyone in the group would pursue his best interests for the group to prosper.’ Nash corrects it by saying – ‘each in a group should do what is best for him and the group for the group to prosper.’ This basis of group theory is what I guess needs to prevail in any society for overall progress. How this can happen and when, I have no clue. But I know we, in our pursuit for the perfect society, will need to reach there!
