Dear Sir, Please understand facts before you say anything. The person who abolished Sati and held a nation wide movement was Raja Rammohan Roy, an upper caste. Again in Tamil Nadu agreed that the situation was bad once but after Periyar things improved a lot and its been for the last 60-70 years. But still now you see that there are atrocities in some districts in and around Madurai. And who is responsible for that ?. Is it the Brahmins?. If the Brahmins are so oppressive how come that the current big political leaders and businessmen in TN are not brahmins?. The people who inflict these atrocities are the dominant community in those areas who are not Brahmins. But they can only be condoned by the political establishment because they are big majority in the vote bank arithmetic. Please dont mislead with the propaganda that is 50 years old. Please step in TN to find out how many of the goverment servants are Brahmins. They will hardly be 5%. Please understand that the Brahmins are such an impotent minority that they can be trampled upon on every issue in TN with impunity. Try doing this to the religious minorities. You cant just attribute every single problem to the Brahmins. We have peacefully coexisted with the worst reverse discrimination for more than 30 years. How many castes other than Brahmins are forward in TN, you count them. What else do you expect Brahmins to do, we are not landlords or dynastic businessmen, we can only do what comes to us and that it study.
