Brahmins are losing political power
by on May 14, 2007 10:20 AM

We have almost succeeded in defeating Brahmins politically %u2014thanks to parliamentary democracy taking roots in our soil. Even in the Brahmana Jati Party (BJP)-ruled states like Gujarat, Rajasthan, MP, Chhattisgarh there is no Brahmin Chief Minister. The BJP itself stands divided and virtually on a deathbed. And a veritable anti-Brahmin struggle is going on inside this pure Brahmin party. Does it mean it is a happy news that in India Brahminism indeed is dead and gone?

No. It only means that the Brahmins are losing political power. But before getting defeated, the Brahmins have seen to it that political power is no power %u2014 reduced to zero.

Those misquoting Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar saying %u201Cpolitical power is the master-key%u201D must tell us why even after Dalits got this %u201Cmaster-key%u201D in UP during Mayawati%u2019s regime four time they lost it?
