You should talk to some of these `other` accused brahmans. There is a tiny chance that you might discover the ``disgrace to the human race`` actually residing much closer to you than you imagine...

Yaar iswar, how did your dad, a brahman, know what `other` brahmans did to the prostitutes?

As someone already pointed out there are very few Brahmin landlords in Andhra. The late PM Sri PV.Narsimha Rao was a Brahmin landlord and he was the one who introduced land reforms in Andhra when he was chief minister of Andhra and gave away his lands. In coastal Andhra most of the landlords belong to Kamma, Raju, Reddy (in Nellore District) and to some extent Kapus. In Telangana it is mostly Reddys and Velamas who own the lands.Again Reddys and Kamma Naidu`s are dominant in the Rayalaseema region.

If we are to talk about the exploitation of Dalit women and girls in this day and age, it is very hard to find it in Andhra except in stories like this. Naxalites are kicking butt in Telangana and the Dalits in Coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema are politically very active and are aware of their rights and do not take any atrocity perpetrated against them.

Re: # 21

No one should visit prostitutes, and brahmans visiting prostitutes is a disgrace to the society, because they are respected in society, its like setting a bad example to them.

Yes, fine, many brahmans do treat their dogs very well, maybe even give their dog an extra roti from the indentured labourer`s lunch!

My point is that an human being cannot be compared to a dog, it is a disgrace to the human race itself.

S.Dutta

``No one practices untouchability when it comes to sex.``

How can you say that. As a young boy I had heard a story about rape of Hindu woman by a Muslim. She, they say, when perceived that the rape was inevitable, said to the rapists in Punabi, ``Chhaai mitti paa le par moonh naal moonh nah laavein`` (Get finished with the dirty work but don`t touch my face).

There is gruesome untouchability prevalent among the Muslim sects also. A Sunni Muslim had a sodomic relationship with an Ahmadi boy. When somebody objected to his intimacy with a `kafir` boy the man retorted, ``Why? Am I not doing a work of `sawaab` by hoisting the flag of Islam on the land of `kufr```. Ha Ha Ha.

In fact, one may admit or not, sex is the `Super God`, which knows no bounds. It can only be appeased not tamed

Btw, can anybody tell me what is meant by the English idiom `Every dog has his day`?

Re: # 15

I lived in Tamilnadu most of my life. I am yet to meet a Tamil Brahmin from a farm owning family. But I have meet Malayalam and Telugu Brahmins who were from landowning families. I know a lot of Telugu Brahmins. Majority of Telugu Brahmins I know are from professional background - teachers, accountants, engineers, doctors, lawyers etc.

that scrumptous thing did catch my eye but i let it go as .. but i can see that burpy cant let it go.

kalsab, its nothing to do with hindu caste-system. i am just looking at immediate benefits. in one case, a woman i know who cut booze for a living (she gets concentrate and then cuts it water and sells it) got her daughter married off at the age of 14..pregnat soon after. in other case, the woman had become christian and worked a an aya in a hospital and her daughter became a nurse (not a BSc type, but still..) and married a brahmin surgeon eventually. not bad for local optimization.

Re: # 32

See Kaal that`s what I intended to say about changing the rules each time so the really underprivileged benefit.

Burpy

``Surreptitously`` was probably the intended adverb but perhaps the author`s appetite was stirred by some scrumptious morsel. Or maybe he`s been reading too much of Bily Bunter.

I have just one question for the brilliant author- how does one witness a rape ``scrumptiously``?

Humbly submitted
Burpy

Hmm, it just occurred to me that some of that may also explain why Hindus would be (and rationally should be) simply unwilling (or much less unwilling) to offer job reservations etc to Christian ``dalits`` and such sundry groups, without being themeselves collectively overpowered/neutered as a political group. Once the bonds of oneness are weakened, there is simply no reason not to be purely selfish.

Basically, it is always very smart to ask/demand/request the most of everyone, particularly of those who are always eager to give. But it is very foolish to give everything to everyone who asks. It`s a balancing game of self-interest and who we are.
