I agree that it is the fear that is keeping the brahmins silent in TN. Reg. P.Chidambaram, he belongs to the forward community too so the question about his iyengar daughter-in-law doesn't arise. (Also if you looked at her photograph, you wouldn't ask this question). We should ask the Maran brothers why they chose to marry Brahmins ? (I would think those girls were thinking of their progeny's well-being)
I have been a atypical Brahmin - strong love for Tamil, terrible at Sanskrit pronounciation, very critical of Brahmins etc. but the politics in India and TN has almost made me a Brahmin fanatic.
Karunanidhi, Ramadoss etc. are basically goondas and as a US Citizen I wouldn't have ANY hesitation telling Americans and American institutions that India is ruled by thugs - I won't shed a single tear if India loses business.
