I am replying to your posting here as I see you are active now and since I wanted to get in touch with you since I read your postings on Reservations. You look very broad minded in your outlook, very practical, though I see that a non-brahmin reading your comments are sure to get hurt. But, you seem to be for Hindu-Unity which I very much admire. Your observation is perfectly right in your statement about the tamil brahmin not according Dwijahood to about 30-40% of the tamil population who in fact practiced vocations of Khatriya and Vaishya dharma of Hinduism. Lord Krishna describes Vaishyas in Bhagawad Gita as those who practise Krishi-Vaanijya-GoRaksha and such populace form about 40-50% of the population. Â
Since, you have quoted about meeting Periyavaal of Kanchi math, I was wondering whether you have read a discourse of Periyavaal posted at this site
http://www.kamakoti.org/hindudharma/part3/chap6.htm
This article/discourse will answer the cause for the anti-brahmin attitude in Tamil Nadu.
If you send me a personal email, I would be interested to correspond with you. My personal email is ramak20@hotmail.com
I live in Phoenix, Arizona. Married with two kids and graduated from IITM in 1986.

I have never been to the kanchi mutt
I have read the periyavaals comments
I think he is partly right and partly wrong
He has said, that this problems started due to brahmins leaving the priesthood
But this should not be looked at in isolation
The british impoverished the nation and the public could no longer support the brahmins
Next I am strongly opposed to renegade brahmins - who are leaders of commies, naxals and seculars and progressivers and NGOS
These beef-eating, smoking, drinking , marrying with muslims and xtians are people I detest
Next Historically the brahmins have dominated most professions along with their priesthood. Remember Chanakya
The british used the rich velala landlords and rich chettiar merchants against the middle class brahmin clerk
