guys get the message right on the board. this is about EVR and anti-brahmin, do not bring in Tamil. Tamil has been glorified by brahmins and upliftment of the language has been done more than anybody else. You got to read the teachings unearth the meaning rather follow few people who preach. follow the preachings and not the preacher. few acts of few people (who could have been converts!!) does not make the teachings bad. remove the negatives, hail the positives and follow the teachings. without brahmins today you would not have any heritage left in tamil nadu, you would all be meat eating and fighting instead of reading this net and increasing debates (which learned and educated people do).
