RE:They take
by MGR Fan on Dec 02, 2007 08:57 AM

I agree. The present CM of TamilNadu, is always calling a certain caste as Aryans and Parpans, even though he and his own children look fair skinned, speak Hindi . As far as the Periyar movie, in 1907, the high presence of bramins in govt jobs was because only bramins took up to higher education and learning english while other castes did not take up to english learning. This was an aberration for 50 years or so and got corrected even during kamaraj rule. Today, 90% of wealth and power in TN is held by OBCs and OBC leaders discriminate against Dalits.

Remember that atleast in South India/TN, OBCs were the kings, landlords etc, and bramins were just living a marginal existence, except for the 50-100 years of British rule and anyway that is all long gone, it is time for OBCs to give importance and improve lot of Dalits in the state. We have a Dalit CM in UP , but there is no Dalit CM in TN. Why?
