what is Brahminism!!!
by Vimala S on May 01, 2007 11:15 AM

Brahminism is indeed good. Go back and refer in our old books. Among four varna's Kshatriyas, Brahmanas, Vysias and Sutras are talked and their role are described very clearly. It is simply the way they live. Not by birth. In those days, a person born to a Vysia father (who is a business man) can be a Brahmana (who is a educated person) It is whether a person is a Brahmin or Vysia or Sutra is not by birth, but based on what they do. It was a partialiality the Brahmin community developed, by educating their child and also making them to brahmin, by way of helping their education. As if Dhuriodana helped Karna to be a Kshatriya. Later after a long time gap, today people think that a brahmin is by birth, even if they do business. Truth is not that.

Periyar belogs to Justice Party, who were opposing Gandhi, at the time of freedom fighting and said it openly, that freedom should not be given to India and wanted that the English Rule to be continued. And they call themselves as God's opposers. And it is evident that they went to temple and used sheos on god to show their anger or disbelief on God.

If a person is whether a God follower or not should only be allowed for his own beliefs and disbliefs. And this may not be a political strategy. God opposition can never be a slogan of an ancient country like Bharath and I am certain that Hindus should not vote for these type of parties. Even muslims or christians should not be voting for them.

The base is not strong. so whatever effort we put more and more will always go as waste, as if one gets into the mud.

Periyar should not be his Hero.

I see the artists dreams of portraying his hero. let him do on his own. Let him figure his hero, and bring him out , but that background story does not suit his hero, who he wants to project.
