RE:BSP SUCCESS.
by alok Misra on May 11, 2007 11:36 PM

The fact of the matter is that Brahmins were thrown in the side walk by all political parties including BJP.Who they were projecting their leader?Bajpai was the soul of the party, so were Brahmins in Congress.But then You cant expect much from people like ajit singh and Mulayam to go for Brahmins whose entire idealogy is based on one caste.Congress started playing the card of reservation thinking that it could compete with others like Lalu/ and similar outfits.
Not so. Every Dalit and OBC knows that in reality few among them corner all the benefits and this is not going to work. If you fail to implement theprograms correctly which certainly all governments will fail for shure, the backlash will be severe and the paople will be not only acrimoniou but angry withe party. It is no secret that Mulayam was outright helping his clan for long.Mayavati also doid the same during her last stints.But then Brahmins were the only cast group who were in fact least caste concious as can be gauged by the fact that Ambedkar was the name of a brahim given to a dalit. They are the most tolerant of all of them. Furthur there are much smaller cases of atrocities done by Brahmins(almost non-existent) against other lower castes.Now if Mayavati ignores this support of Brahmins she will face similar fate politically. This message is very loud and clear that no stable govt can work without brahmins for long and ruling India is just not possibile without them.Reason : Brahmins are an intellectual lot and their economic power is not much but their intellectual power is equal and more than the rest of them.
