Brahmins should not make the mistake of parsis. We should accept into the brahmin fold whoever wants to enter. In the past whole communities were accepted as brahmins by induction. Anyway it is argued by all that guna and karma also decide the varna. So it is possible to increase the numbers before critical size is reached.

Sarangji, this is a noble and intriguing thought. However how do we decide who is eligible to enter the Brahmin fold and who is not? If it is not by birth, is it by education, food habits, or just by marriage? What conditions do the converts have to satisfy and what perks do they get?
