I have no problem with Meat or Egg eaters as long as they dont force me to eat it.
As of contribution whether it is $1000 or $1 it doent matter - $1 from a guy who earns $2 has more significance than $1M from a guy who earns $10M. What I meant to say was to be a Brahmin, contribution to the society (without expecting anything in return) is a must.
Would I be dragging it too far if I say that the LAST BRAHMIN to be born so far had been Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya?
