“Just because something is old, it need not necessarily be good and valid for all time. Neither should we think that since we have been living all these years on the basis of old principles, we need not even think on new lines…. Science has progressed, new inventions have been made.The whole environment has changed so fast. … .Therefore, it is inconsistent with the demands of modern times to insist on the hereditary varna and caste system. … Castes no doubt exist, but they have nothing to do with the preservation of social fabric. … What exists now is not system but disorder. Hence we should all put our heads together and think how to guide it – a system which has to die and is already dying must finally end and have a natural death.”
