Prabhu,
This is a very intriguing article. I agree with your views and respect your opinions.

With regard to the previous comment that Brahmins will be outcasts in India in next 10 years, I wouldn’t say so.

Character is what makes you a Brahmin or a Sudra. I have known many people who are from a ‘Brahmin’ family, but are the most corrupted. On the other hand, I have known people from ‘Sudra’ families who are very truthful and hardworking individuals.

My point here is that whether 10 years from now or 100 years from now, there will always be people who are truthful and hardworking. Irrespective of the ‘caste they are born with’, these people will be ‘Brahmins’ in the true sense of the word.

Make no mistake. Brahmins will be outcastes in India in next 10 years. This article simply proves the point. Brahmins are busy doing stupid introspections while non-Brahmins are busy installing themselves in power circles. In today’s India, only two things work. Political influence and Terrorism. While Sudhras have the former, the minorities have the latter. Brahmins have neither and they are doomed.

Gowda Vs Narayan Murthy is the best example of this. Nobody will even support Murthy however honest he may be. Gowda can get away with anything and has the final laugh.

Wake up and smell the coffee.

And btw, i am happy with the comments i get though. i have been writing blogs for months with pracically no comments.
i am equally fine with that.

i write what i think and i get comments for and against it.

thanks for taking time to put your valuable ideas ascross. if all our ideas were in synch with all others , this world will be less colorful and less interesting.

Like you said it is a strategic ploy. Tell them things promise them loads, offer at first and later its back to normal. I have seen such things, people converting in the assumption there will be no difference in class or caste and then down the road reality hits. The situation is only slightly different, when that person is capable of bringing in more converts. Then they continue to receive such ideal offerings, and if lucky long enough to get out of their previous class thus getting a better life.

However the mentality never changes, not even if pathe changes to cross.

Here a lot of people convert to islam for the economic benefits. Humm from dress code to caste to culture to religion. This is going to be around for some time at least.

Yawn!

Too many statements without logic and too many self contradictions. I guess people are not commenting because of pedestrian nature of your arguments.

You start by saying that we should be happy our regional/cultural identities by saying we mimic western nature and by the end of the blog you contradict by saying that identities are not desirable. Your arguments are not convincing.

Please don’t regurgitate names
from Google , if anything it undermines what you write. Everybody has this anger against the society, don’t focus it on a particular community.
