Today Brahmin community is facing multifarious problems internally and socially. Self proclaimed intellectuals and thinkers are engaging in censuring Brahmin community baselessly, needlessly without making a serious study, in public platforms. They are also criticizing the faiths, rituals and cultures of Brahmins for gaining self importance. On the otherhand, Pontiffs and religious leaders who are in a dilemma regarding the philosophy being preached and practiced are giving unnecessary press statements and by their action have landed the Brahmin community in general to a dangerous precipice. Several other internal problems are troubling Brahmins also.

Brahmins condemning the Divine Acharyatrayas:
Certain Brahmin scholars of perverted minds and their preceptors have indulged in condemning Acharyatrayas in their religious discourses & speeches apart from arguing that their philosophy (Darshana) only is superior compared to other philosophies. May we pray in the Acharyatrayas that such scholars be bestowed on harmonious and noble minds for heralding the unity of Brahmins?

Dwindling Brahmin population after independence:
If one takes Karnataka as an illustration, the population of Brahmins has decreased from 6-7% to 3-4% after India’s independence. The fact is that the population of native Brahmins in Karnataka is less than 2.5%, Where as in Kerala it is less than 1.5% and in Tamilnadu, it is 2.5% (The percentage was 3-5% at the time of Independence). Several Brahmins from U.P., Bihar have migrated to Karnataka due to anti - Brahmin atmosphere, hence Brahmin population is more in Karnataka.
Brahmins were the first to adopt family planning since its inception. For several decades Brahmin families had two children and recently they resorted to one child norm. Now owing to late marriages of Brahmin youths, there are no issues amongst those couples. In the peculiar concept of secularism and vote bank politics prevailing in India, even constitution doesn`t bother communities having low population.

Mr. Ananda,
Welcome to the forum.
This forum has discussed most of the problems you raise.
It would be good for you to search the archives before posting an age old problem.
We have a fatigue arguing these problems.
Political and Social Issues concerned with TBs

Dear Mr. Ananda,

Welcome to Tamil Brahmins Forum. You have raised certain issues relating to Brahmin Community
that have been discussed time and again in the Forum under various threads. As suggested by Mr.Prasad
kindly go through the same and post your opinion if you feel that will help the community.

I do not want to go into the subject about our Acharyas and Mutts. Community has no say in their internal
affairs. In fact Brahmins have always stood by them in their good deeds of study of Scriptures and charitable
work.

As for the third point in your post, don't you think restricting number of children has helped the Brahmin
community to elevate the standard of living and education of the next generation better? Living conditions
of Brahmins are much better today. Majority of Brahmins have left their traditional vocation of priesthood
and spread over to other economically better jobs. Numbers do not bother unless one is in Politics. Brahmins
are dynamic community, they understand that stagnancy in thought or deed will destroy growth and progress,
and accept changes to the needs of the time..

Regards,
Brahmanyan,
Bangalore.

The main problem that is staring at the brahmin community or any non-priveleged (read general category) community is the pernicious expansion of ad-hoc reservation in every secular sphere. If these communities continue to fight among themselves and fail to unite, their fortunes may soon reach a point of no-return. What happened in Sri Lanka (standardization policy a.k.a reservation is the prime reason for ethnic conflict that resulted in near total annhilation of SL tamil community) can very well happen in India.

No reservation, no caste census, removal of caste reference from constitution and government orders will do wonders for the stable development of all castes. And make everyone proud of their caste.

The recent riot in maruti plant in which one senior executive was thrashed and burnt, and a large number of middle level executives suffered fractures by beating, was said to be started when a dalit worker was abused by his supervisor using his caste name.

It now appears that this is not the reason, as both the supervisor and the worker are dalits. The worker was suspended for slapping the supervisor and so the story goes.

Some time back, a judge of the chennai high court claimed that his forward caste colleague kicked him in public. it appears that both were on stage, the forward caste judge's leg happened to brush the dalit judge when he got up to make his speech.

In fact, Rajaji was against family planning, as only the educated community will opt for it, and the under privileged will not restrict the family size because a large family provides more security.

Hope the problems will settle down slowly as we are doing your little effort while discussing cheap paper writing service topics. I am also stood by them in their tough time. There are much more things which should be accurate in Brahmin community.
