Dear Sri. Raju, Greetings.

We (the brahmins) have no malice or hatred towards any one but we would like to live our lives peacefully and happily within our domain. Living peacefully and happily may not possible if others show hatred against one's community. Say, for example 'Amish' community wants to live on their own. They don't even use electricity, telephone, car or anything... there is hatred even towards that community. Sometimes a community has to develop strategies just to stay in peace.

We will determine what to do for that and no one else has any locus standi to tell us how we should change or disappear from the scene as a community. Personally I feel, brahmin community has not done much to determine what to do. They have to unite first and workout a plan. All the other communities are united and they have the vote bank power too. Brahmin community is neither united nor have the vote bank power. They have to change that equation.

I am aware of the counselling camps for their youngsters amoung Jehovah Witnesses. I know about Syrian Christians, did not know about the details of their counselling camps.

Can brahmins try some such thing to preserve their unique culture and value system? I am addressing this to you because you have raised a point about the bringing up of children. Thanks for bringing this up. I don't live in India. But I know very well, such camps will help the youngsters of the community. Such camps are conducted in other communities too. Once I was spending the whole day in Chennai city with my friend; he excused himself for 2 hours to attend a community meeting.... I was not allowed entry to that meeting! (That never bothered me; he came back after the meeting and we continued enjoying ourselves). So, such meetings are not to be dismissed; they are very effective.

I am a humanist. I care for anyone and everyone, when ever possible. I am more than happy to participate in such an effort. I met some of the youngsters during my recent trip; they are hungry for directions. This kind of effort will certainly take off amoung youngsters.

Cheers!
