Nice article, written based on actual understandoing of state of brahmins in TN. Even though the level of persecition of brahmins in TN may seem overstated to many (even those that grew in TN), it is only bacause the worst of it has been subtle and not bloody enough to make it to the headlines.
* the dk, dmk and admk have had their members garland deities with footwear!
* they have built / allowed mosques and abattoirs near temples
* they have appointed atheist officials to administration of temples and temple assets - it is so bad that nowadays we can't even distinguish between trust and pvt property in many places
* ofcourse, everybody knows about the draconian reservation quotas - it is heartwrenching to see kids that score 98% and above in all subjects unable to get their desired college seats because they need 99.6 if they are brahmin
* in the holiest of holy places of TN (such as Ganapathy Agraharam) even core Agrahaarams have been bougjt up by Muslims because youngters from Brahmin community have no way of surviving there and have had to move out either to bigg cities or in most cases, out of state (there is a reason why places like Matunga in Mumbai and several parts of Bangalore are majority Thamizh speaking brahmins)
* I know personally of cases where the tufts of brahmins were yanked (I have not come across ANY cases of Brahmin women being raped, don't know where the author got that from - don't think that has ever happened; I have lived in several villages and towns of Tanjore district and never heard of such a thing)
* the Sankaracharya arrest is such a shell shock that many have still not recovered. In many families, this news has still been concealed from the old bed ridden or weak granmps because it is a guarantee to shatter them to death and much worse. If the arrest is unwarranted and is motivated by anything other than truth, whoever is behind this has earned thousands and thousands of brahmahadthi dhosham
* as a truely trying brahmin I've come so close to cursing karunanidhi and his like but won't do it
Because the truth will emerge.
