pal population, they are kshatriyas. Oh, they are very good fight-
ers. Similarly, the Sikhs, the Jatas. There are classes. So they’re
always forward for fighting. And you’ll be surprised that the British
Empire was voluntarily liquidated because they lost India. The Brit-
ishers, they understood that because we are now losing India,
there is no more possibility to keep our eastern empire. Therefore
they liquidated. Why? Actually, the whole British Empire were being
administered or managed by Indian soldiers, these Sikhs and Gur-
khas. They extended their empire. After taking their position with
India, they extended British Empire in the Middle East and Far East
simply by these Sikhs and Gurkha soldiers. They got supremacy on
the Burma and everywhere.

So there is necessity of a class of fighting men. You are finding in
your country difficulty in recruiting because the recruiting process is
wrong. You are recruiting from persons... You are training persons
just like sudras, and you want them to fight. How they can fight? It
is not possible. So as it is stated in the Bhagavad-gita, that catur-
varnyam maya srishtam guna karma vibhagasah... [Bg. 4.13]. Lord
Krishna said that “The four classes or orders of the society, brah-
mana, kshatriya, vaisya, sudra, is planned by Me according to work
and quality.” So this kshatriya quality men is also required, the
brahmana quality of men is also required, the mercantile communi-
ty, they are also required, and the laborer class, they are also re-
quired. Of course, laborer class, they do not require any training.
Laborer class means one who cannot do anything, neither become
brahmana, nor become kshatriya, nor become vaisya. That means
the last balance of the population, they are called laborer class, su-
dra. Sudra means one who has no training. Sudra has no samska-
ra. Samskara means training. Everyone is accepted as sudra by
birth. Janmana jayate sudra. Janmana means by birth. By birth,
everyone is born a sudra, a fourth-class man. It is to be accepted,
and actually so. Just like a child, innocent child, what does he
know? He has to be trained. Either you train him as a brahmana or
train him as a kshatriya or train him as a vaisya. Or otherwise, he
is sudra already, born sudra. Sudra has no training. Everyone, the
basic principle, basic foreground, everyone, it is accepted sudra.
Now, if you train him as a brahmana, then he becomes a brahma-
na. If you train him as a kshatriya, then he becomes a kshatriya. If
you train him as a vaisya... So I think this is, this system is very
scientific so that if you want help of a really intelligent man or God
realized man, it is ready, the brahmana class. Just like if you re-
quire the help of a lawyer, we have got so many lawyers. If you
require the help of medical man... Because there are trained men.
Similarly, the society requires to train a certain class of men to be-
come brahmanas. Just like we are training the Krishna conscious.
