Several contemporary spiritual leaders in India are publicly challenging caste discrimination, a practice that persists despite legal prohibitions. These leaders utilize scripture, philosophy, and direct engagement to counter caste hierarchies historically supported by spiritual traditions. While their methods vary, from community dialogue to philosophical critique, they share a commitment to preventing spirituality from masking discrimination. Acharya Prashant, for instance, uses Vedanta to argue that caste is a mental construct based on bodily identification, asserting that true self-realization transcends caste.
