Dear Don,

The Vedic religion, brought to India by the Aryans was a cult in which
the priests performed ritual sacrifice.  Hallucinogenic substances were
mixed with milk, primarily clarified butter, into a "mind altering"
substance called "SOMA."

The Vedas (according to "HISTORIC INDIA, THE GREAT AGES OF MAN, Time,
Inc. 1968) were people of "enormous pride, utterly convinced of their
own racial and social superiority."  For the local people of India they
had nothing but "contempt and overwhelming scorn."

During the thousand year course of the Vedic Age these prejudices
evolved in India's Caste system.
