Already the state of affair us self explanatory with various factors of society politics etc. Also many threads in this forum proves again from their own voice that they are insecured and that is why many threads are going as a dairy without any conversation with others.

Already I voiced. Again saying, in this site the threads are going without any conversation for some it is diary to scribble and for some to vent out alone and for some it is like TV showing breaking news(only linking urls).

To start with:

Tamil Brahmins: Lost in Tamil Nadu.

Years ago, well-known Tamil actor and political satirist Mr Cho Ramaswamy had remarked tongue firmly in cheek – “Tamil Brahmins are people who fight with each other, degrade themselves and paint the entire community in shades of dark.” If you look at the events (in literary and movie circles in Tamil Nadu and the political climate), you will realise that Mr Ramaswamy was absolutely right then, he is right even now.

We talk about Kashmiri Pandits becoming strangers in Jammu and Kashmir. The Tamil Brahmins find themselves alienated in their own land. With more than 75% of the younger generation of Tamil Brahmins having moved to foreign land in pursuit of job / education and others scattered across different parts of India, it is an easy guess that population of Tamil Brahmins in Tamil Nadu is steadily waning. The increasing trend of inter-caste marriages is a further threat.

Let us look at how some of the Tamil Brahmins have defiled themselves:

I think the message conveyed in these two articles are self-explanatory.

'Only Brahmins can defeat Brahminism'


To all those then who talk about ending Brahminical hegemony, my advice is: Get the Brahmins on your side,' says Syed Firdaus Ashraf.

As a student of journalism in the early 1990s, I once attended a Dalit rally where speaker after speaker spoke about the atrocities Brahmins had unleashed against the Dalit community.

After the rally, I called on my journalism guru, the venerable M V Kamath, who happened to be a Brahmin, but that fact didn't strike me till we started discussing the rally.

'Sir, is there Brahminical hegemony in the Indian political system?' I asked. 'And is it true that Brahmins made Dalits suffer for 2,000 years?'

I told him about the Dalit rally where every speaker had denounced the Brahminical hegemony.

'Do you know who the biggest enemy of the Brahminical order is and who can defeat it?' Mr Kamath asked.

His answer shocked me.

'Only Brahmins can defeat Brahminical hegemony. No one else,' Mr Kamath pointed out.

I am born in a Brahmin family and my mother tongue is Tamil. I never lived in Tamil Nadu. I visit it often as I still have a strong family and cultural ties to my ancestral land. So I may not be qualified enough to talk about this topic.

I am also a rationalist so again I may have different priorities.
I am very concerned about Tamil-Brahmins. I want people of my ancestors to be happy and prosperous.
