India's big heart!
by Kumar on May 18, 2007 09:49 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

In US the whites are a majority and there is no minority black president. In India the non-brahmins are a majority and yet we have a minority brahmin prime minister. It shows the big heart of the non-brahmins. List of Brahmin Prime Ministers:
Pandit Nehru
Lal Bahadur Shastri
Indira Gandhi
Morarji Desai
PV Narshima Rao.

Why don't you people get your fact right before writing something. Lal Bahadur Shastri was not a brahmin, he was a Kayastha from UP. The 'Shastri' that you see as his surname was not a surname but a title awrded to him by his alma mater, ok? Get it ?
