To a great extent, brahminism was the root cause of casteism, superstitions and chaos in Hinduism. Having said that, there is no point in blaming the present day Brahmins or waging a war against them for the present day challenges Hinduism is facing. The relevance of people like Periyar were only during the dark ages when Brahmins were at the helm of power. Today the scene has changed and thus there is no point in discussing and fighting over the buried past. The reservations MUST be on the basis of economic backwardness and not caste based.
