Dravida Politics continues what the British started - Divide & Rule
by Mani on May 30, 2006 03:29 PM

The entire policy of reservation was evaluated by the British in the Madras Presidency way back in 1921 or so when they started the Justice party to divide the Hindu community by castes and demand separate quota for Non-Brahmins (OBC), SC&ST & Minority religon etc.

This was because because the only occupation left for the Brahmins at that time was clerical work and they got jobs in the British government.

The Chettiyars , Mudaliars and other Royal people felt it below their diginity that they have to go through a "Brahmin" for any government work.

So under the bogey of "Brahmin Domination" they promoted the "Justice Party" which was to protect thier "Self Respect"

This was ably assisted by the British beacause these Brahmins were also in the forefront of freedom struggle. They were killing two birds with one stone.

The poor Brahmins were toremented by the British then and the Dravida parties now by the same bogey of "Brahmin Domination".

The concept of "Suppression & Oppression" of the OBC SC ST by the Brahmins is a LIE. This has to be exposed first. The real fact is OBC Suppresses & Oppresses SC & ST and they put the blame on the "Brahmin" for all the evil.
