I agree with your observations. It is an attack on Hindu Dharma launched by christian missionaries supported by anti-Hindu forces within Indian society. Brahmins ae being targeted because they are percieved to be keepers of Hindu Dharma and its sriptures.

And why exactly are we concerned about a set of people who have a particular term printed on a certificate? What special sympathy do these people demand? What would be the loss if a set of people identified by their certificate cease to be? Is the definition of these particular group based on sources other than scriptures? Is there something more than the people that you are concerned about?
Isn't all these talk only on definitions based on certain books deemed to be scriptures?
