Prabhupāda: It is the government's duty to see that nobody cheats. If a person without any medical qualification, if he writes "doctor" or "medical practitioner," he should be punished. Similarly, if one is claiming to be brāhmaṇa, he must act as a brāhmaṇa. If one is claiming to be kṣatriya, he must act as a kṣatriya. Now, what are the qualification of brāhmaṇa, what are the qualification of kṣatriya, they are there already in the Bhagavad-gītā.
Satish Kumar: Yes, yes, yes.
Prabhupāda: So it is government's duty, that you are claiming. So everyone should be employed, everyone should be engaged, in his own occupation. That is called svadharmeṇa idanasya. Sva-dharma means the brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, vaiśya, śūdra. By quality. Guṇa-karma. By quality and work. So it is the duty of the government to see that a śūdra is employed, is engaged as a śūdra, a vaiśya is employed and engaged as . . . just like vaiśya. Vaiśya, it is said that kṛṣi-go-rakṣya-vāṇijyaṁ vaiśya-karma svabhāva-jam (BG 18.44). Now the vaiśyas, they are in the share market, speculating.
Satish Kumar: Hmm. There are no more vaiśyas. (laughs) Exactly.
Prabhupāda: Industrialist. Industrialist means śūdras. So if they're śūdras, why they should claim as . . .
Satish Kumar: Vaiśyas.
Prabhupāda: This is government's duty, to see, "Why you are claiming vaiśya? Your industry is to produce food grains, agriculture, to give protection to the cows." So in India ten thousand cows are being killed, and the vaiśyas are big, big Birlas, big, big Dalmias. You see.
