Who is discriminating whom?
by UVSS on Apr 10, 2008 08:01 PM

The SC verdict upholds 5000 year old discrimination against Brahmins (B) to get into professions of Engg/ Mgt. Engg/ Mgt today - building steel, precision products, run business. Engg/ Mgt in old times - Pottery, Diamonds cutting, making chariots, Jewellers viz domain of Sudras (S) and Vaishyas. B choice of Spiritual pursuits ensured their relative poverty and their dependence on others. S was restricted from %u201CSpiritual%u201D GYAN (not others) - logic being absence of time or inclination towards Spirituality. Many (if not all) accepted this logic willingly & accepted B as their spiritual guides %u2013 which they received w/o Veda GYAN & gave them time for their profession. Dharma was known to ALL owing to knowledge of Puranas that was never withheld. Today%u2019s OBC actually identify themselves as Vaishyas/ Kshatriyas (and not S) but still seek reservation benefits! B have always discriminated themselves with self-inflicted restrictions - British actually discovered that B accounted for nearly all SATI cases but not other castes. Today of course, even B is not inclined towards %u201CSpirituality%u201D. While Dalit claims do hold valid ground, granting benefit to OBC/ some SCST is perversion of justice. The OBC will lose their monopoly for riches if B ends up learning their technical skills. The reservation therefore reinforces continuation of 5000 year old practice. Foolish Indians today read twisted logic of British/ Communists & determine their life!
