Apologies if I am striking a wrong note here, but this presentation is a bit skewed, IMO. A couple of observations:

-> US annihilation of the native race is termed as expansion.

-> While fascism, democracy etc have their colours, there is a white patch which is left unexplained - colonialism.

Regards,

saptha,

i do owe an apology as a pro-active statement to my posting.

not only am i aware of your sensitivities but also in tune with you, re the anguish and pain, that you referred to in a post some time ago, addressed to me...

while i have commented somewhat clinically to your post, i am also troubled by sometimes that we as tamil brahmins, hold ourselves to higher standards of morals and behaviours, especially among the critiques in this forum, including myself.

please be assured, the last thing that i want is a self destruction of our community - especially the best of our culture - ie the erudition, simplicity and above all a passion for knowledge.

unfortunately, my own experiences, have been brunted by the worst of brahminism, and though i have to acknowledge that over the years i have come to view it in the light of overall life experience, at the time when these occurred, they presented to me the worst of brahminism.

with this preamle, i hope you don't mind my comments below. as always, with deepest respect....

--> thoughtful folks in the west look upon the annhilation of the native races as something that their ancestors did and do treat it with shame.

---> in the same vein, there is an element of racial memory among the nattaars (nadars) of tamil nadu as being driven down south a couple of thousand years ago by the invading folks from central asia - the sense of deprivation of the whole lands north of the vindhyas.

personally i do not go there, only because, for every wrong that i think done to the tamil brahmins, there are even more wrongs done by our ancestors on those tamil kin around us.

best sleeping dogs sleep. and deep at that one too. tread softly and do not wake them up. who know which dogs of war they will unleash?
