Tamil Brahmins - The best second rate men. Is it True?

I read a lovely blog recently in the following link

http://intellibriefs.blogspot.com/2007/05/tamil-brahmins-best-second-rate-men-in.html

I completely concur with most things said in that blog. But lets take a minute to look into why they prefer being second rated.

The author had mentioned about the evergreen comparison of Jews and Tamil Brahmins. Hitler, in Mein Kamph, has said Jews are exploiters. They would come to a place developed by someone else and occupy it. Whereas Aryans are Developers. Thet go to a place which is not developed and develop it. Once that place is getting populated by 'Non Aryans', they will move to another place that they can develop. He also said both Jews and Aryans are like a pack of wolves constantly fighting amongst themselves. But when a common pray attracts them or a common threat endangers them, they will unite. Fight the threat or kill the pray and then start fighting amongst them again.

Tamil brahmins are the right fit for hitler's explanation. (though I wouldnt accept on the 'wolf' bit being a tamil brahmin myself..). When Periyar EVR, set out the anti-brahmin movement in Tamilnadu, the TamBrams survived it with some sort of an ease that the jews didnt have when they succumbed to Hitler. Ofcourse there is no comparison between Hitler and Periyar. But both their intent were exactly the same. Hitler's action was much larger. Tambrams had the nack of survival. When government jobs were denied, they excelled in engineering and Accountancy. When that was denied, came the boom of software. Now when that is also being occupied, they have shifted to BPO and KPO.

They prefer being second rated, because they are always under a threat. The fear of survival is always there. The Tambram families are all worried about survival of their lineages. I was lucky to have parents with non tam bram thinking. So I was never pressurised to study hard. But most tambram parents sow the fear of survival deep into the heads of their kids. And the kids respond beautifully by staying atop in the class. But in this process, they have let go of the fabulous Brahminic lifestyle of theirs. Tamil writer Jayakanthan once said (with Periyar on stage) "Even I hate brahmins. Not because they are brahmins. Because they have lost the brahmaneeyam in them".

Now every tambram parent pictures their sons and daughters as potential green carders, or a software professional or some field where they can rake the moolah. How many parents now want their children to learn vedas, or carnatic music or want them to appreciate literature. I am sure every one wants, but no one acts on it. The time that was taken to teach carnatic music is now replaced by tutions. The time I used to get from my dad for reading and appreciating Bharathiyar has been replaced with computer classes and IIT classes. This has resulted in a huge holocaust. the holocast of "class" from brahmins.

I repeatedly feel so bad when I see the younger generation Tamil Brahmins go "gaga" over the brilliance of A.R.Rehman or when they say they don't know how to read tamil. Most tamil brahmin kids now study hindi.

So the bottom line is a curse attached to the community. In karma, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The curseo f Jesus still torments the Jew community. And the curse of suppressed 'other varna' people still torments the Brahmin community and this is just a preview. The main course is yet to come guy..Beware.!!!!!
