Going by the lack of response to the post above, i suppose this topic does not interest WeAreTheFire anymore. I won't be surprised if WeAreTheFire, Staunch_Iyengar, Pucca Iyengar and {a few more} are one and the same person. Anyways, FYkind info, will post more on this soon.

Dear Sir,
I am not any of these people who you seem to be associating with me, neither am I aware that such accounts exist at all. I am just a young and proud Tamil Brahmin boy who would like to actively contribute to our community, and also participate on some of the discussions here, if I do have the time. As I am a student, I have to put my studies above posting on these forums for a while. Thus, I post only on discussions that catch my eye, and are easy to reply to.

I want to mention of the practice in Northern India where in many parts there are brahmin surnames other than Sharma. The Gothra names like Srivats, Vashisht, Gowtham, Vyas, Bhardwaj, Shandilya, Moudgalya (Mudgal) are all brahmin surnames. Of course there are brahmins without surnames who are simply called Sharmas. the practice is south i.e. TN as calling all brahmins as Iyers has compounded the issue.
