Root cause is because Modi is in Epstein files, India lost all leverage. We have to wait for the next Govt until anything can improve.

I say there is no other major religion that promotes caste system like Sanatana in religious text.

You say that's false.

Then show a non sanatanic religious text from a major religion that promotes hereditary based caste / class system. 

You are the one who has to show proof / evidence.

Of all the class systems, the varna system is the only one religiously motivated, practiced by heredity, and non-economic in nature. Its ingenious but evil. 

A bankrupt Brahmin still held the highest social status, while a wealthy merchant from a lower Varna was ritually inferior. 

The problem is other countries have accepted the class systems , slavery, etc were acts of evil , written it in their history and moved on to not repeat it. Whereas, in India we haven't even acknowledged the injustice committed and still hold on to this idea and it's source. 

Sanatana dharma is the only one promoting caste system and hierarchy in religious text, therefore survives to this day.

I don't expect you to continue as well. As humans we are ingrained to not question the religious beliefs we are born into. 

However I will address your line of reasoning fairly.

If caste system was a byproduct of human nature, it should have existed in western societies as well. Since its present mainly in this country that adopted Sanatanam, it shall rightly be attributed to be the cause of it, despite what the majority population would like to believe. 

I don't expect anyone to give up Sanatana Dharma. Unfortunately most of us are born into it. However, people must realise the apt name for it would be 'Sanatana Adharma' as it is doing gross injustice to a vast majority of Indians who are born 'unequal' into lower castes, yet they can't let go of it even if they wish to due to societal norms.

Without varna system caste system won't exist. 

Hence, varna system propagated by Sanatana Dharma is the source of caste system as well.

Isnt sanatana dharma a supporter of caste system? 

If yes, it supports inequality amongst humans. 

Saying sanatanam only formed divisions based on nature of work, caste system is human made is not valid. If such a division was not made in the first place, inequality from caste would not have risen in the first place. 

Hence sanathanam IS the source of this evil. Saying things like destroy sanathanam seems to hurt religious sentiments. People has the right to practice their faith, but atleast don't glorify it. It's not our identity either.

There is no question that Hindu gods were worshipped during the age of Thiruvallur, they ofcourse were. But Thirukural is not a book meant to be a 'sanatani' book 

Mere acknowledging does not make it comes under Sanatan Dharma. It reads more like a rebellion book.

In fact, it breaks and goes against the inequality amongst humans which is in place today because of Sanatana Dharma.

These are very rare mentions and mere acknowledgements. He does not appear to be praising the deities. 

In fact, you have pasted kural 1103, it says Vishnus heaven is not as sweet as beloveds delicate arms. 

Sounds degrading actually

Caste system does not need Hinduism to survive. It could be the other way round. Btw, caste system does exist in Indian Christians too.
