LOL. I suspect I have forgotten more about history that you will ever learn in your lifetime.
How does finding Nirvana related to being proud of being a Kshatriya ?
........ as far as I now, they are not related. One can be proud of being a kshatriya and still find Nirvana . e.g. Krishna. Not to mention, Buddha.
This story is taken directly from the earliest Buddhist books written during Buddhas time.
Here is another gem from Buddha's teaching.
"The Bodhisattvas appear only in two kinds of lineage, the one of the brahmanas and of the warriors (kshatriya)"
Yup, these are his actual words.
You must be a terrible sexist to think that only MEN choose to sacrifice them selves for a cause, and women do no such thing. History is full of women who committed sati in the past. History is full of women who committed Jauhar too, which is just another form of Sati. No one "forced" them to do it except their sense of honour and dignity and love and sacrifice.
Only a Bigot would call Ramayana and Mahabharata as "myths" when they have been written down thousands of time and passed on through history. I guess that sums you up.
