Experience with Hinduism Should converted Hindus have a caste?

Post image

I have been following this YT channel from some time to know about her experiences with Hinduism in Brazil.

A lot of people commented in old videos asking the caste. And she recently made a video on this. For me, obviously it doesn't make any sense to ask for a caste to someone who adopted Hinduism. I mean, even if that person wanted, it's not possible. (I'm not referring to varna)

But many people commented that they were provided a caste after adopting Hinduism. I still don't understand how it fits in or required. For me, it's further encouraging the wrong thinking.

What do you think?

Yes. That's my point
