A person born in the dog-eater's family can be raised to the standard of brahmin family, or a person born in the brahmin family can be lowered down to the status of dog-eater's family if he does not keep the status. So it is the qualification. That is Vedic.
So as soon as this standard method was changed into mechanical—a person born in brahmin family, he may be less than a dog-eater's family; he is worshiped as brahmin—this has ruined the Indian civilization.

(break) . . . responsible for that. He is responsible in the . . . I mean, the finer sense, that due to some of his past misdeeds he has been born in that way. But that is not the prime responsibility.
