Sir , Mr.Swaminathan , do you accept Job /Salary /Rewards/Recognition lesser compared to ones those who are less qualied ,experienced . I hope you do not . If so, you would not have got so agitated .So, if some body (may be a Brahmin or some other Caste , by birth / qualification ) shifts over to some other country where they feel they get what they deserve, then what is your problem? You aslo can go and try . I think neither you appreciate one's good qualities ( irrespective of birth /caste ) nor tolerate they going somewhere and living , if they are not satisfied here.I think many people from your own caste /religion would have gone somewhere and settled.Do you think they are all bad ??? They need not be bad and they are not bad . They do what they find suitable and OK with them, how you and I do what you and me think right. One should not expect that people should stick on to some place and get harrassed by people like you and me!.

That is a LAW & Order failure. You cannot corrct it by having reservations in housing sector.

Get up from your sleep.

If our secular government diffrantiat Brahmins and other upper casts from others, why they should step back. Have you seen a poor family from upper cast getting reservation?

Brahmins had never ( may be baring few exceptions ) ruled any kingdom or run a Government directly , though Kings used to take their advices in ancient days such as Lord Rama used to take guidance from Rishi Vasistha ,Emperor Yudisthira (Dhramaraya ) from Rishi Vyasadeva ,Rishi Doumay etc.Now also , if you analyse there are hardly any Brahmins as Chief Minister, Prime Minister .So,just blaming a particular community does not help.We find so many quarrels , fights , court cases , murders among fimilies , relatives .Obiviously, they are all from same caste , same religion . That means , bad and good people ( as per one's own perception ) could be there in any commminity,religion and place .So, why blame a particular community (Brahmin )for all problems?????

Even a brahmin who worked as a clerk in railways has a house in abiramapuram worth several crores and still getting pension. You and me never imagine living there, then why are you thinking of buying a house ? do you have Crore ? These people never allow others to come up. They will sell our country to america, if they are giving good job and salary. So selfish !!!

Please provide educational facilities and jobs purely on merit.Then you can make Brahmins selfless by preventing them to go to America or any other countries .Once again , I repeat Brahmins by not Birth but by qualities .If you hate this particular word 'Brahmin', never mind, but please associate it with good qualities as already mentioned.

Caste System is not just decided by Brahmins .It is the Social System, whether right or not . Dear Sir /Madam , please self introspect yourselves . I do not know which Caste or Religion you belong to . All are humans. There is only one Religion called 'God's Religion ',. People will have different faiths / Religions , but God can not be two.God is only one , called by different by names , worshipped /loved / prayed in different paths /ways .

But,please think of your ownselves and family . How, many Brides /Bridegrooms of your Family have got married to people of different Castes / Religions ?.

Change ,should start from ndividuals ,families, neighbourhoods,villages,towns,cities ,states , countries and finally the world .

Do you think Brahmins had been to other Countries and created Shias and Sunnis among Muslims , Catholics and Protestants among Christians , White and Black (Nigros ),Poor and Rich ???????

Please ask these questions among yourselves and then you will find better Answer ,I suupose and pray .

Is it shia muslim working as a toilet cleaner for 100 of years for sunni muslim's and Is it protestant christian doing agruculture for catholic christians ? We are not hating Brahimins, We are only hating the this manuvadi system,which si practised for 1000 of years.

dont be a suedo equlalist. Would you marry a man who is as educated and beutiful as you if hs is a SC/ST. In India Brahmins are the main culprits and other are also suffering inculding themselves.No religion in the world has such an evil system!

Also, Brahmin is not a Caste by birth ( though it is considered now wrongly ). It is actually depending upon one's work / duties and nature (charachertistics /characters ).Any body who is has good qualities such as kindness ,
,courtesy ,patience ,tolerance,generous,clean,
nonviolence,peace/calmness,helping ,humble ,
knoweldgeable,devoted ,committed for good thoughts and actions ,justice,simple ,
not egoistic / arrogant , etc.etc. ( kind for animals too ) is eligble to be called a Brahmin.

Are you treating Animals in the same ways as you treat your own family members / friends ???

Hope you do not kill animals /encourage somebody to kill animals for getting meat to eat, when human's intestine is not meant for processing Meat . By God's Laws ( Nature's Laws ), a Meat eating Animal has to necesarrily eat Flesh of Animals because that is the Food allocated by God .So, humans ( ? )like you and me do not have such Sharp Teeth in the front like how Meat eating animal ( Carnivorous )like tiger has !!!!!

So, I earnestly request you to kindly self introspect yourselves. MAY GOD BLESS ALL !

BTW, Madam!
What is Brahmin ? Caste or Varna ??

What is Caste ? What is Varna?

What is your Sub-Caste ?

Why are there Sub-Castes and What do they Signify in the Sense of 'good qualities' ? Are there differences in the 'good qualities' between Sub-Castes of Castes and Castes of Varna ???

To What Extent are they Visible Practically ?????

Answer OR Think Over It for Yourself. Ask Your Elders If you Don't Know.
