Hello,

Please support the creation of a separate Union Territory for TN Brahmins. Your support and ideas are very much appreciated. Please visit the site:

Hello 'Anonymous',
Thank you for dropping by.

I understand the frustrations fully. i guess that's where this idea of a separate union territory is coming from. In my view, the present situation is actually a boon in disguise. Scores of Brahmin families have found new opportunities outside TN due to the recent happennings which they earlier would not have.

I also see a resurgence in some Brahmins towards properly understanding the duties of a Brahmin. i believe it is the present situation that has woken them up. Just as well.

As a community we have to look within and constantly strive for excellence. No number of Karus can then be a barrier. This is also a natural way to develop respect. As a community we have always believed in simple living and high thinking leaving the rest to God/destiny to decide. It ismy view that we should continue to do so without losing hope.

Thank you the link as well. I will leave my comments there as well.

Unless Brahmins particukarly iyengars shed their cunning and irrational activities there cannot be any unity amongst brahmins
