Brahmins always wonder and agonise as to why there is so much negativity about the community in the minds of others. This issue has been often discussed in various internet fora. However, little authentic information is available for this phenomenon. In the course of my internet browsing I came across an article by Mr Yoginder Sikand, an erstwhile social activist. The article throws light on the whole business of activism. As the article runs into nine pages in MS word, I have posted it as an attachment.
