Polls - Karnataka '08

[Guest]

Dear Sri. G. Subramaniam,

I am replying to your posting here as I see you are active now and since I wanted to get in touch with you since I read your postings on Reservations. You look very broad minded in your outlook, very practical, though I see that a non-brahmin reading your comments are sure to get hurt. But, you seem to be for Hindu-Unity which I very much admire. Your observation is perfectly right in your statement about the tamil brahmin not according Dwijahood to about 30-40% of the tamil population who in fact practiced vocations of Khatriya and Vaishya dharma of Hinduism. Lord Krishna describes Vaishyas in Bhagawad Gita as those who practise Krishi-Vaanijya-GoRaksha and such populace form about 40-50% of the population.

Since, you have quoted about meeting Periyavaal of Kanchi math, I was wondering whether you have read a discourse of Periyavaal posted at this site

This article/discourse will answer the cause for the anti-brahmin attitude in Tamil Nadu.

If you send me a personal email, I would be interested to correspond with you. My personal email is ramak20@hotmail.com

I live in Phoenix, Arizona. Married with two kids and graduated from IITM in 1986.
