If scriptural definitions no longer apply, and 'brahmins' have taken up other professions, who are the brahmins we are talking about and what exactly is this brahminism that the thread addresses?
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->some excellent warriors like Baji Rao.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Padmapani Acharya & Vishvanathan of Kargil fame are among others.
Other Iyengars in Army and Police
* Gen. K. Sundarji - Former Chief of the Indian Army
* General Sundararajan Padmanabhan - Former chief of the Indian Army
* Dr.K.Sreenivasan - Former DGP & IGP of Karnataka State.
* S. Parthasarathi Ayyangar - Former Commissioner of Police in Madras Presidency
* Lt Gen C R Sampath Kumar - Military Secretary to Shankar Dayal Sharma, President of India.
* B. N. Garudachar - Director-General and Inspector-General of Police Karnataka
* K. R. Srinivasan - Director-General of Police Karnataka
* P. S. Ramanujan - Director-General of Police Karnataka
So what is the gist of the discussions so far? Is there a strategy forming here or is it just individual opinions that will fade away into cyber-oblivion as time passes?
