Brahmins constitute exactly what percentage of Indian population. In TN they are a measly 2% and are treated like sh1t. In UP I think they are 10% or more thats why even BSP is trying to woo them.

Brahmins I believe are historically one of the most mobile groups in India. My ancestors are said to have come from North to South, then moved from Tamil Nad to Kerala, I guess in search of better life, better scriptures (instead of greener pastures <!--emo&--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->. I say, considering present day vote bank realities, let all or as much Brahminsand even other forward castes move to one or a few states, which already have better percentage of Brahmins and other forward castes and also having forward looking developmental outlook.

This may seem impractical, but hell, it would have seemed impractical even to make satyagraha as a strong political force, but didn't it happen. It would help if we have a state wise distribution of Brahmins as a percentage of entire population. In wikipedia you'll easily find a link to forward caste distribution across the states. It shows in terms of states having higher ratio of forward castes, notable among them are Maharashtra, Punjab, Haryana, West Bengal, Goa.
