thanks hh...
the other part: no, i dont think so... there are intellectuals who want to destroy the framework of our dharma either for conversion or for exploitation... and hence they unleash these sort of rational queries... the other group who are the low intellects (but emotional) are ready to latch on to this - in fact, have latched to this... the article is one such outpouring...
the guy who has copied this article does not know the difference between marichan and sugreevan... he has not bothered to read the ramayana... tomorrow, if i assume a penname and write my version of ramayana where mahmud and jesus are incarnations of vali and ravana (ie., rebirth, due to papam & to cleanse this by doing service to god)... and somebody quotes that, does it become a reality?
what is needed is not direct confrontation... rather, the brahmins should re-group and establish themselves... when the state does not perform raja dharma, it is up to us to guide ourselves... once we are established, the helping hand should be extended...
seeing that their blame game does not work, other ploys may come in the meantime... but ultimately it wont hold ground if we stick together...
naturally, there would be an gradual shift in the mentality of people... seeing brahmins as they really are... this vendetta mentality would slowly go off...
