Is it not that a Brahmin is of priestly class, maintain exemplary behaviour, spend life in pursuit of divine knowledge, an incarnation of dharma, do you mean as a hindu I abandon manusmriti, why I need to do all these, for the progress and development? progress and development of violence, is this what I want? Why do I need to abandon what my ancestors followed 50 years ago, is it because west is more attractive to me? I am a Brahmin and proud of my heritage. If I need to abandon casteism I as well abandon Hinduism altogether and follow one of those middle eastern religion, at least I do not have to cover up my religion, have a split personality.
