Hey Banglorean..nice try but a far cry from truth.. you are simply being judgemental. I am a Brahmin myself but don't go by shastras never understood !! Your anti-brahmin notes reeks of but bitterness.. Divide and Rule did I hear you say - might crack my side with laughter ! Wear a thinking cap - might help even if a bit - and read your own lines.. lets send it to Readers Digest column, so you entertain more than me !
