Many of you might think I got something so wrong in National Interest pieces written this year. I might disagree! But some deserve a Mea Culpa. I’d deal with the most recent this week.
Such a one sided ill-researched write-up. Firstly, none of the episodes of dalit oppression and violence were inflicted by the brahmin community but yet, your headline captures it as Brahminical gaze, making your hidden agenda very silly and blatant. Secondly it’s this minority community that is shown in poor light, made fun of and poked in every tamil movie that is released ! Thirdly, look at movies from Balachander and others which take on the issue of casteism and portray them well..wish some more research goes into further topics and hope the news minute can distinguish between the rice and the chaff !
Brahminism? Why are we connecting dots that are drifting away faster than our galaxies?
Both these massacres were done by roling rural land owners, and yet the focus is Brahmins who are less than 5% people and one of the least land-owning or violent or politically controlling classes. Every Brahmin I met is self made hard working employee or of educated service class, which I cannot say for my so called OBC rulers of the nation.
Why are people stuck centuries ago and millenia ago where they might have helped design the caste system, wherein they have been economic paraiah and social scapegoats for last few centuries?
Brahmins should RBC – real backward class of today.
People are stuck in Ambekar and Marxist imaginations disconnected from reality. Brahmins of today have no reservations or support from the governance systems, continuously swim upstream, and being the easiest scapegoats for all the oppression and discrimination that others do, who ironically are the political leaders with so called backward classification. No oppressed people fight against them because that will actually have blow backs for God’s sake!
Move on to the reality, people! Brahmin bashing oughtta run out of fashion at some point!
