A genuine demand of the Kerala Brahmins! On similar count Tamil Brahmins should also demand minority status! With dwindling numbers and difficulties in getting admissions to Government colleges and also getting Government jobs, we are facing numerous challenges! A minority status should help us in the long run to maintain separate schools and colleges!

An outfit of Kerala's Namboodiri Brahmins has demanded minority status for them, arguing that the community, which faced a socio-economic fall out after the implementation of land reforms act, is miniscule in the state.


President of the Yogakshema Sabha, Akkeeraman Kaladasan Bhattathirippad, also said the minority status should be calculated state-wise and not on the basis of national level assessment.


Calling for changes in reservation norms, he said it should be calculated on the basis of economic capacity of a person and the government's assistance in various forms, including reservation, are required for better living of many members of Kerala's Brahmin community.

for that matter brahmins in every linguistic group, the telugu brahmins, the kannada brahmins, marathi brahmins, bengali brahmins etc for instance, are a minority and are suffering owing to their insignificant number.

could minority status be afforded to brahmins in every language group?
 
i totally agree- the Brahmin community is totally butchered by the government. we as a community should stand together and seek some respect in the society..
