The article is incredible. I wonder what prompted the writer to write in this manner.Quote:

True, I remember reading it in other tamil mags...Quote:
There are 50 Sulabh Shauchalayas (public toilets) in Delhi; all of them are cleaned and looked after by Brahmins (this very welcome public institution was started by a Brahmin). A far cry from the elitist image that Brahmins have!
There are five to six Brahmins manning each Shauchalaya. They came to Delhi eight to ten years back looking for a source of income, as they were a minority in most of their villages, where Dalits are in majority (60 per cent to 65 per cent). In most villages in UP and Bihar, Dalits have a union which helps them secure jobs in villages.
The Idea being that Bramins have started to occupy the C class jobs, since their right to an education is being narrowed by the Caste Based Reservation System....Quote:
The passage about Brahmins being Porters, Rickshaw Drivers etc
The man has a point unfortunatly in this case...:(Quote:
400,000 Brahmins of the Kashmir valley, the once respected Kashmiri Pandits, now live as refugees in their own country, sometimes in refugee camps in Jammu and Delhi in appalling conditions. But who gives a damn about them? Their vote bank is negligible.
True, the hundreds of Priest Families do get paid barly enough to put food on their plates.Quote:
There are hundreds of families that are surviving on just Rs 500 per month as priests in various temples (Department of Endowments statistics).
True...Quote:
The tragedy of modern India is that the combined votes of Dalits/OBC and Muslims are enough for any government to be elected. The Congress quickly cashed in on it after Independence, but probably no other government than Sonia Gandhi's has gone so far in shamelessly dividing Indian society for garnering votes.
Can this be denied? :huh:Quote:
The Indian government gives Rs 1,000 crores (Rs 10 billion) for salaries of imams in mosques and Rs 200 crores (Rs 2 billion) as Haj subsidies. But no such help is available to Brahmins and upper castes. As a result, not only the Brahmins, but also some of the other upper castes in the lower middle class are suffering in silence today
Again, 100% True..Check out sites/organizations like Dalitstan.org.Quote:
Anti-Brahminism originated in, and still prospers in anti-Hindu circles. It is particularly welcome among Marxists, missionaries, Muslims, separatists and Christian-backed Dalit movements of different hues. When they attack Brahmins, their target is unmistakably Hinduism.
The Point of the Article:
Back in the day: Dalits were discriminated based on caste. They were forced to take up the worst jobs.
Today: Upper Caste (The author tends to use Brahmins) are discriminated by the quota system based on Caste. Poverty forces a large percentage of them to take up the jobs which are discribed in the article.
Hilarious? :? It's quite depressing to see the Caste System still very Active in Indian Society and Govt through the Quota System, and you claim that it's hilarious....:roll:
Even if his arguement is flawed, which I don't quite agree, it has nothing to do with the credibility of his previous works. Look through them. They still hold water.
For anymore discussions on the Quota System, go to the India Today thread in the Misc Section.....
Now...back to discussing the Hindu Genocide....
Back to the Hindu Genocide:
The RELENTLESS ATTEMPT BY RABID RADICALS Continue....
One killed, 18 injured in grenade attack in Jammu.
Jammu, June 12 (TODAY) (PTI): One person was killed and 18 injured in two to three grenade attacks by militants on a bus stand in the city this morning, officials said.
Militants hurled two to three grenades at different places simultaneously in the General Bus Stand area here, which exploded killing one person on the spot and injuring 18 others, they said.
Security forces have rushed to the spot and cordoned off the entire bus stand area.
Rescue operation is going on and the injured have been shifted to the hospital, they said.
The explosions have taken place at a time when pilgrims from all parts of the country are pouring here for Amarnath yatra.

Surya, something you have missed (inadvertently, I hope) in the news report:
News reports over the years have made it quite clear that whenever there is an influx (during spring and summer) of militants from Pakistan, there is an increase in terrorist activities. By segregating the dead into Hindus and Muslims, we are playing into the hands of the strategists on the other side of the border. This is exactly what they want. Muslims are as much a target of terrorism in Kashmir as Hindus. Why don't you post something about the self-defence groups in Kashmir villages that fight relentlessly against the militants (sometimes at the cost of the lives of their families).Quote:
The deceased could not be indentified as reports last came in.
Yeah Kannannn: I think you are correctQuote:

Similarly, see what happened in last mont? I dont know why 35 Hindus were alive when Terrorsits came to kill them. If they had committed suicide before the terrorrsits came in, terrorists wouldn't have found anyone to kill, and it wouldn't have been a "killing of Hindus" and our perfect media wouldn't have wasted a coloumn, in which they could published some useful ads...
Umm...we shd not forget the stupidity of Hindus who went for shopping on 29th October 2005 exactly at 17:40 IST. If they had avoided shpping on that day or if they had avoided celebrating Deepawali, this problems wouldn't have come.....
I dont know how long these stupid Hindus are going to be a reason for destabilizing the secular nature of the country....
Hindus' attrocities of disturbing the secular nature of the country, by dying in the hands of terrorists is strongly condemned and they should stop this immediately!
A long post wasted on sarcasm :( . What is your point srivatsan? My point is, both muslims and hindus have been targets of terrorism. Perhaps chopping off ears, or killing entire villages for voting in elections don't seem to fall into your category of violence because the victims are muslims?! Maybe the killing of innocent Kashmiri teenagers (and hurried burial) by security forces to increase encounter figures is not excessive, since the victims are muslims?! I condemn any pointed attacks on hindus in Kashmir, but acknowledge that these are results of outside forces trying to ruin communal harmony. How do you fight this? Whom do you blame for this?
Out of curiosity, what is your take on the anti-sikh riots of '84?
Surya excellent post.
Good job mate.
