		<description>In my view : Reservation is an important tool that works . It attacks the very foundation of Caste System which attempts to bring Static stratas in society. My only concern is it must reach everyone rather than the repeat avails of a few. I know a Dalit who was a teacher and his 8 children are all Doctors from a world renouned Medical college. Now if we find a way to make his family serve the other Dalits then reservation has more than worked, in my view.</description>

		<description>Smitha,

"Periyar married maniyammai only at the behest of rajaji, his best friend (brahmin)." Looks like you lied to us before. I saw the movie periyar ! Rajaji is just consulted. But Periyar married Maniammai AGAINST Rajaj's  advice. Check the history books.</description>

		<description>If reservation is not going to help development, answer the following (Just for debate)

1. Why should Brahmins ask for reservation for themselves during British Raj ? Why did they not just "compete" with the British for the Clerk's posts ?

2. How does certain states which went the path of reservation develop faster than the states that did not ?

3. What happens if we go global altogether filling up of vacancies instead of only for Indians in India ? If this is too much to ask what happens if all the state govenments open up the jobs for everyone in India ? Are you aware that only Southern States will bag all employment ? Will the Brahmins from underdeveloped states stand a chance to a Non-Brahmin in developed states ?</description>

		<description>smitha,

I know so many dumb ppl who belong to the so called brahmin community! 
As i have mentioned in my post, intelligence is a term which carries wider meaning that dravidian politicans having lawyers as advocates!

Regarding housing, the worst experience i've ever had as a landlord was when a brahmin was occupying my house! 
FYI, i've let the property to a christian who takes good care of the property and who pays rent on time!</description>

		<description>whether U like it or not, brahmins are superior in intelligent than other castes...call it herditary, avaialability of facilities whetever. Know 1 thing? All the advoates &#38; doctors of the dravidian politicians are brahmins.

Mu.ka's personal ohysician was Dr.Ramamurthy, he learnt yoga from B.K.S Iyengar, his lawyers are brahmins.

why, periyar's houses in erode are rented out to brahmins..periyar used to say "parpaan thaan ozhunga vadagai kodupaan".

Periyar married maniyammai only at the behest of rajaji, his best friend (brahmin).</description>

		<description>Hi, 

Just wanted to say that off all the posts I have read about reservation, you seem to have made the best points.  I am amazed at people who say that Brahmin community are smarter.  Even Rajni recently implied this at a function.  I wonder why people call this guy intelligent?!  one is not intelligent just by belonging to a certain community.  It is called conditioning.  For thousands of years, Brahmins have been allowed to be intellectually conditioned while other communities have been barred.  Especially the backward community and women, even Brahmin women.  If women in Brahmin communities are looked at as smart today, then what about the rest of the population.  They have been restricted to just physical and mundane work.  If OBC/BC people come to realize the importance of education and are given as fair and great an opportunity for good education from an early age, good students will certainly champion with merit.  

I see a lot of attack on reservation by the Brahmin community, but they are quiet on all the other abuses other communities get on all other fronts.  

The only way to equality is by freeing all minds of superiority.  Today, in most aspects, the common practices of so called Hinduism, is outdated and immaterial, as far as social customs go.</description>

		<description>Really I dont think this willaffect the OC/brahmins, they are just too intelligent to let themselves be sidelined, these oc fellows have a lot of money and are becoming a global community like the jews. I am an OBC thevar in TN, people talk about TN doing well in reservations, well to the dissapointment of many, this has almost entirely been fuelled by the iyers and iyengars. Just look at all the top software companies and doctors , very few non-brahmins, for heavens sake , even karunanidhi's tax lawyers and accountants are iyengars. 

Nice work, the OBC's have been further sidelined. Just wait and watch what happens, 90% of the faculty in IITs and IIMs are brahmins they will sideline us in the institutes and humiliate us any way . As the GM of Lucas TVS once said," even if they do give reservations in private sector I will make sure that they are only sweepers." Kudos to the UPA you have really made us even more backward, foster hardwork, try to cahnge OBC thought process try to make them study against all odds like the brahmins, that will truly benefit us. Just look around, there are brahmins every where in TN, theyt are just too resilient, by staying away from politics they have ensured that their future depends on themselves and not just these two bit politicians.</description>
