Who told you? True that there are elite brahmins like TVS group etc. but most of them are pujaris and live on very minimal subsity from Govt. If you imagine, they get only 500 - 1000 rs per month for their services in temples. One way, what u have said is right. Brahmins have become rich only by migration to other countries and by getting jobs in private sectors where there is no reservation. But, is that their fault?

Brahmins getting into IITs, IIMs are not because they are of brahmin caste. They have also written entrance exams and cleared them on MERIT. Even in TN Govt colleges, the top 20 students, if you count them, you can see 5 - 6 brahmins who fought and came in without reservation.
Reservation should be based on economic terms. I am glad that SC had addressed creamy layer for the first time which DMK, LJP, DK won't agree for obvious reasons. However, corruption will creep in this and people will see bogus OBC certicates.

True, Even there are dumb guys in Brahmins but how come those dumb guys enter IITs as alleged by entrance exams and without any reservation for them? This means that only intelligent guys of their lot enter the institution. Is passing and getting in by entrance exam and by merit alone CUNNING?
