that is a stupid comment , the mere fact that you call him as a brahmin shows your mindset. In 21st century any one who calls himself brahmin would only be the subject of great ridicule, gone are the days when a bunch of gluttons preaching stupidities would gain any respect.If you are good irrespective of whether you are brahmin or now he would be considered a hero. The fact that you want to attribute brahminism to such a great man as Amte shows where you stand . All men are not equal, some achieve greatness due to their hardwork , but not by being born into a family where the father wears a cross belt
