Simmering sentiments against brahmins

-

  • Brahmins should be careful. That is what social media says to us. Brahminphobia is rampant across India and more so in Tamil Nadu.

  • The so called rationalists and periyarists (kothadimaigal - brainless slaves BS) are the best in preaching genocide of brahmins.
  • There are no proofs that brahmins invented caste system, yet this will be told again and again by the BS. Using this lie the BS will even justify genocide of brahmins.
  • When brahmins learned vedas other castes learned pottery, carpentry, architecture, and hundred other things. Each caste had their hereditary knowledge which they did not share with others. But somehow brahmins' exclusive hold on vedas alone is somehow denial of education to other castes. BS use this argument to deny any rights to brahmins.
  • Brahmins have no political power in TN.
  • Common public have negative opinion about brahmins. They will not come to rescue any brahmin.
  • I have observed common public's sentiment about brahmins closely and it's very disturbing.
    • A significant amount of people think they have to be careful with brahmins as they may conspire against them
    • Some also think of brahmins as their oppressors
    • Some will try as much as they can to stop brahmins from improving in their career
    • Some want brahmins' genocide
    • Even BJP and RSS is not immune to the anti brahmin indoctrination
  • While this is a cause for worry, I am not scared. Brahmins must tackle this situation somehow.
Way forward:
  • Brahmins must try and win the trust of as many individuals and communities by being helpful and magnanimous
  • Brahmins must stop thinking that they are different from others. They must develop a strong sense of belongingness to this nation
  • Inter caste marriages - brahmins are not ready for this. I know that. But this is a viable option. It's very rare that any community will genocide brahmins at the cost of making their sons or daughters widowers or widows. Inter caste marriage can act as a shield in case any genocide is to happen.
  • Settling abroad - It's better to explore abroad options and keep it ready. In foreign land, brahmins' lives would be protected by those countries' laws.

என் ஊரு சிவபுரம்

        சிவபெருமானை நினைத்தால் எனக்கு உடனே நினைவுக்கு வரும் விஷயங்கள், திருவண்ணாமலை, ரமண மகரிஷி, எழுத்தாளர் பாலகுமாரன், இசைஞானி இளையராஜா, திருவாசகம், ஆத்ம ஞானம் ஆகியன. ஏதாவது ஆரம்பித்து "ததக்கா புதக்கா" (amateur) என்று எழுதித்தான் பார்ப்போமே.         எப்பொழுது நமக்கு (குறைந்தபட்சம் எனக்கு) இறைவன் தேவைப்படுகிறார்? சில நேரங்களில், "என்னடா பாலாஜி, நம்ம ஒன்னு நெனச்சா வேற ஏதோ எக்குத்தப்பா நடக்குதே ?" என்று தோன்றும். மனதில் அச்சம் தோன்றும், "உனக்கு உண்மைலையே திறம இருக்கா ? இல்ல நீ ஒரு வெத்துவேட்டா ?" என்று. இதைப்போன்ற தாழ்வு மனப்பான்மையும், அவமானங்களும், இயலாமைகளும் தான் நம்மை, "நம்மளோட அறிவுக்கும் சக்திக்கு அப்பால என்னமோ ஒன்னு இருக்குடா!!" என்று சிந்திக்கவும் வைக்கும்.          அதன் அடுத்த நிலை, தோல்விகளாக நம்மை வந்து தாக்கிக்கொண்டே இருக்கும்பொழுது, "எவ்வளோ நாள் தான் நானும் வருதப்பட்டுட்டே இருக்க முடியும்? சொதப்பறப்ப எல்லாம் வருத்தப்பட முடியுமா? வெற்றி, தோல்வி எது வந்தாலும், ஒரு அஞ்சு நிமிஷம் (மரியாதை நிமித்தமாக) மட்டும் வருத்தப்பட்டுட்ட

Is Ramayana the Indian version of Odyssey?

I saw the below tweet from a D-stock twitter handle. The tweet in Tamil roughly translates to "Ramayana is the exact replica of the Greek literature Odyssey" The tweeter is proving his claims using some Charu Hasan's facebook post below. Let's try to approach this question scientifically which the D-stocks are fond of (or so they claim). Scientific studies on Ramayana and dating the epic: Content courtesy: https://indiafacts.org/the-scientific-dating-of-the-ramayana/ The article https://indiafacts.org/the-scientific-dating-of-the-ramayana/ talks about the Dwaraka explorations. Archaeologists have found the ancient city if Dwaraka under water when they explored the exact Dwaraka area claimed in Mahabharata.  According to the same article Ramayana happened 9000 years before present. 7000 BC. This clearly predates the Odyssey. The story of Odessey sounds nothing like Ramayana: So, how does this sound? Rama goes for a war leaving his son and wife in his palace. The war la

Raleigh NC business visit

-
It's 11:54 pm as I start writing this post in Raleigh North Carolina USA. This was my last working day of this business trip. I will be catching my flight back to India tomorrow. Pondering about how this trip went and my over all experience, it turns out to be quite interesting. There are many aspects to it. All are worth reflecting. The flight journey from Chennai to Raleigh was quite horrible with 4 hours delay in Germany. Even without delays, there was a 6 hours of layover in Germany. So it's 10 hours layover in all. In Chennai I wished my dear ones to come and send me off in Chennai airport. They did. I would have appreciated someone picking me at Raleigh airport. That didn't happen. Nor did it happen during my previous visit last year. I managed alone with my English which is much difficult for people here to understand. Yet everything happened well. Room stunk, I suffocated. You can't open windows for long as it's too cold outside. You have to adjust wit
