The central problem is
that Hinduism is associated with the Aryans ( Brahmins ). So, all except
brahmins join together to put down Hinduism. It is all the work of selfish
politicians to come to power and/or stay in power.

Precisely the point Mr Ranganathan.

However i think as a community we didnt help ourselves by having very ossified views about brahmanism.

I think some of us have to come out of the "eternal denial mode" that brahmanism didnt cause any oppression at all.

The dravida clan is very smartly using the "real and imaginary" acts to whip up the passion against the Brahmins.

I write in another forum, Karuthu. Very senior, well-placed guys still have such staunch hatred for brahmins.

I think the failure of the brahmins to take lead to create a more inclusive society in the public domain is the biggest cause of our misery. This mean that the dravida clan, today, does fault us for what are our valid private practices which is the price we are paying for lack of leadership.

We also have to align our thinking to certain realities such as "Opening of Priesthood" and "Tamil poojas" for example and not use them as planks for establishing our religious suzerainty.
