During Muslim period or British ear Brahmins had no reservations. This was a class which refused to take the kingship and preferred to remain poor as educated rather than rich uneducated. That education gave them some jobs during British era. Jobs were few, competition was fierce. They used their education to fight the British for freedom. Their sacrifice for freedom spelled their doom. The dream of elimination of Hinduism from India from Robert Clive downwards could be realized by bringing a phony Aryan bull and putting the conflict within the society with Caste card by portraying Brahmin as evil. Hit the Brahmin by Hindu hand itself, the Hindu religion becomes weak. The plot was simple. The Muslim contribution for Independence was not that much. So rewarding Muslims with a country of their own, and giving the poor Hindus, the Brahmins as the evil for their poverty is a perfect solution. There is no word like Brahmanism. Create such word and give Brahmin to hate. Brahmin falls, the religion becomes weak for conversion. It is only a matter of time Brahmins will embrace Christianity or Islam-they are left with no choice any way. Today Tamil Nadu which gloats that they made Brahmins a minority will weep when Hindus will be a minority. The Periyar clan will be hounded and no Brahmins to hurt or blame. No Muslim or Christian will permit reservation based on this the well guarded caste which is an advantage now.

That is British perception. I am not saying any one is indispensable. Antibrahminism is not peiyar invention. The books that Brahmins preserved are filled with dirt like him and you.

Every caste has its own downfall ...brahmins dominated because of their educational background ...it was because of some evil minded brahmins that all are to be blamed..even though TN is being ruled by non-brahmins i see no significant progress.. poverty is still there ....education is the basis of upliftment ..start from elementary level ..then to UG level and then PG level ...giving reservations directly in PG level doesn't give progress..it will only help those who have reached UG level and that will be only the creamy layers of OBCs who require no further reservation as they already have reached a level of upliftment....people still have to walk for miles to go to a school ..change that scenario..remember one thing friends today its anti-brahmin feeling once they r wiped out ..another caste will dominate most of the jobs then all others will be envying that caste ...it might be ur caste or my caste ...leave caste behind ...educate everybody around urself ...don't follow blindly what politicians have to offer ...they are always selfish .....
