Well any Hindu who is going to respect the Epics and Mythologies feel obligated to respect Brahmins,ofcourse not all of them do that and they are branded Aethist and unknowledgable,its all monopoly... Yes Non Brahmins should have all acted like Periyar long time back,they were too timid and confused that these Brahmins took advantage of. This still continues by virtue of blind beliefs and faiths instilled on them..
