Sir, Thank God You are taking up our cause(Brahmins and OUC).and also thankfully you are allowed to write in this country.If we talk in favour of OUC then we are straight away asked to shutup. Ok i agree with you that there has to be unity .But now we need to a strategy. How do we all meet.How do we represent ourselves.We need someone in the govt only then it is possible . In your previous article you had written no news paper was ready to print the fact the Brahmins worked as toilet cleners, richshaw pullers and their salary was below Rs.150 per month.Now how do we rectify this without having an organisation. OBC love to castigate the brahmins but within themselves they do have caste politics.Like vanniyar did not allow dalits to cross their village.So every where it is there. Only when we stop asking for caste in application forms we will become Indians first and religion and region Second.Yes the patriotism has to grow.We have to ful fill Our President Dr.AbdulKalams's wish of making India a developed country By 2020.I would love to stay in India So also My husband and children.My son who has just got into IIT also wants to be in India.But Can we be here ?

Dear Shyamala, I wish I could give you a positive answer. But the answer I feel is maybe not what you like. The days of Brahmin usefulness in India are over, your son will do much better abroad. Even with discrimination, he will be safe, and you can join him later. It is either that, or a possible disenfranchisement very soon. Or worse, a low intensity civil war and resulting pogroms upon Brahmins. Future is uncertain.
