Today Brahmin community is facing multifarious problems internally and socially. Self proclaimed intellectuals and thinkers are engaging in censuring Brahmin community baselessly, needlessly without making a serious study, in public platforms. They are also criticizing the faiths, rituals and cultures of Brahmins for gaining self importance. On the otherhand, Pontiffs and religious leaders who are in a dilemma regarding the philosophy being preached and practiced are giving unnecessary press statements and by their action have landed the Brahmin community in general to a dangerous precipice. Several other internal problems are troubling Brahmins also.
Brahmins condemning the Divine Acharyatrayas:
Certain Brahmin scholars of perverted minds and their preceptors have indulged in condemning Acharyatrayas in their religious discourses & speeches apart from arguing that their philosophy (Darshana) only is superior compared to other philosophies. May we pray in the Acharyatrayas that such scholars be bestowed on harmonious and noble minds for heralding the unity of Brahmins?
Dwindling Brahmin population after independence:
If one takes Karnataka as an illustration, the population of Brahmins has decreased from 6-7% to 3-4% after India’s independence. The fact is that the population of native Brahmins in Karnataka is less than 2.5%, Where as in Kerala it is less than 1.5% and in Tamilnadu, it is 2.5% (The percentage was 3-5% at the time of Independence). Several Brahmins from U.P., Bihar have migrated to Karnataka due to anti - Brahmin atmosphere, hence Brahmin population is more in Karnataka.
Brahmins were the first to adopt family planning since its inception. For several decades Brahmin families had two children and recently they resorted to one child norm. Now owing to late marriages of Brahmin youths, there are no issues amongst those couples. In the peculiar concept of secularism and vote bank politics prevailing in India, even constitution doesn`t bother communities having low population.
