It explains you its origins and takes you on a journey that explains how history distorted the basic premises of the four varna system, which was supposed to be based on an organic social order and not on the basis of birth as it has come out to be. How a guide for Brahmins was interpreted to be a guide for Hinduism and how it's becoming a basis of a law changed the course of India in modern times. The topic is enormous and it is not possible to capture it in a 15 min podcast. Therefore, please excuse me for any errors that you may find. There is always scope for improvement and for which I will await your comments, in the comment section.
