These IAS and politicians spoiling the whole of this country commenting anything to suit their boss' interest.
If Periyar is against the Brahmin , what is going to lose. Definitely he would have been against those Brahmins who practices the Brahminism in their own orthodox manner. Bhahminism is very great and I doubt whether anyone in India is there to talk about it otherthan our beloved President who is really a Brahmin,, practising Brahma bhava without differentiating anything living a classic life style. All others are trash and having personal interests. Brahminism , is the quality and everyone should try to achieve it leaving the subjective personal matters at least on occasions. It is the same as Advaita where nothing is superior or inferior and everything same including the God which is repeatedly spelt 1000 times in our vedas and other ramayana and Mahabharata.
Hence the quality of certain brahmins should be fought against and not the Brahminism.
