Dear K saheb
I get your point of view .Labelling a person is distasteful .sorry.

It is our perceived sense of fairness and wanting others around us to become more equal makes us feel unwanted and unwelcome in our own community forums

with best wishes

I think sometimes words such as "our interests", being "fair to others" etc are loosely used in the sense that what a person sometimes advocates may not affect him/her personally and even "other Brahmins" are really "others" only.

kb, i dont know, if another factor, ie conscience ever plays a role in these circumstances. it should. shouldn't it?

dear sir,


.........and feel completely disheartened, that after 67+ years of freedom, the weakest of the weak of india, still dont have a fair or fighting chance to make it in this world. all due to the prejudices and machinations of the castes above them.

I had been in service in Chennai in a Tamilnadu state-government institution for over 25 years and retired. I can assure you that the wheels had turned around long ago. Today, in Chennai at least, the dalits, through their labour unions and associations, wield so much power in controlling who gets what , that they have completely turned the table on all the “ prejudices and machinations of the castes above them” . Of course, these other castes banded together earlier under a different political banner and displayed the same “prejudices and machinations” against the TBs, and now get a taste of their own medicine, but prescribed by the dalits! Of course, the situation is different in rural south.

It is now slowly accepted (though known all along) that caste is not a bane, but a useful and welcome social and cultural capital if not misused by divisive politics and vindictive social behaviour. All jatis have lived together in conducive harmony in every village and town. It will be far easier to remove inequalities in education, skills and wealth, than blaming jatis and vowing to destroy jatis. It will never happen. Use of brahmin bogey to solve dalit problems has lost its steam; dalits have seen the deception, but some brahmins (so called) still cling to the rejected theories.

In my school in early sixties, out of 8 sections of 45 students in each, in SSLC, only one and a half had brahmin students (65) studying samskrit as third language. Remaining 300 students were not brahmin and had selected advance tamil. There was no discussion or awareness of dalit/sc/st among the students and there was no visible discrimination. The english brought the caste divide and the modern secular politicians have amplified it and made it a explosive issue.

Dharampal has shown from documents available during british raj, in madras presidency, less than 20% of the students in schools were brahmins; the rest from all the three varnas (they used the k-v-s classification). And every village had a school.

Modi has the right catch phrase - sabka sath, sabka vikas. He is a modern hindu who respects all jatis and adivasis and does not believe in setting one against the other.

Humanists!!! The asareeri tells me I must cease to be a brahmin.

i would prefer not to label ourselves as liberals or conservatives or anything in between. just plain humans with some sense of fairness, even though as a result of which, it might adversely affect our interests.
