I would like to see TamilBrahmins.com as a platform to voice our opinions, but organizations like TAMBRAS should galvanize brahmins under one umbrella, but I see that they operate under very traditional way of looking at things without the community in the loop at all!. When I read the news that TAMBRAS has aligned with BJP in the recent election and shunned AIADMK due to the treatment meted out to Kanchi Acarya, I didn't hear Brahmins all of them subscribing to such a decision. If PMK Leader Ramdoss says dont vote for DMK or ADMK like that, the people listen to him. In TN, I did hear a lot of brahmins who voted for ADMK (I am sure there are people who ddn't), but what it says is how TAMBRAS does its business. TAMBRAS should take their message to each and every brahmin. They have to communicate and they have to understand the pulse of the community. Only by connecting to the community we can achieve what we want to. TAMBRAS should invariably attempt itself to establish as a defacto spokesperson/representative of the community. Obviously they are ideologically, physically as an entity, but practically, they are yet another entity, which says things they want to do, but dont really do. They have to do more to achieve that. Just some veeraraghavans and subramanians cannot just sit in a closed room and decide for the people thinking this is what they want you know!.
