Real Classless Society.
In a letter in 1949, to Sardar Patel [First Deputy Prime Minister of India], Srila Prabhupada explains the ”Real Classless Society”, as envisioned by Krsna, in the BG AS IT IS which will solve India’s presently corrupt caste system—

Srila Prabhupada: But the caste system is made by God according to quality and work of the subject and it was never designed for the benefit of accidental birth right. Thus whatever is made by God cannot be destroyed by man. Destruction of the caste system as contemplated by some exponents, is therefore out of question. By the modes of nature different persons are imbued with different qualities and the scientific way of division of human society, from the qualitative aspect, by the caste system is quite natural. But the basic principle of such caste system is to serve the plan of Godhead and by doing so the four orders of caste system make a headway by the co-operative method. When such spiritual progress is definitely made, the materialistic progress is automatically effected as a matter of course. That makes a real classless society.
