We all realize that none of the news outlets cover anything which is done against the brahmin community. Therefore, I am starting this thread to catalogue the atrocities against the brahmin clan and people as they happen.
The immediate reason for this thread is the so called social justice movement to make anyone a archakar or a priest. This was more or less not covered in the media since the original brahmin priests were starting to be shown the door in many of tamilnadu's temples and in there place people who had not even remote links to being a priest were posted as priests.
Although at the periphery this might seem like a just social cause to improve equality in social life.. we have to study the effect it has on the brahmin class and its priests.
The brahmins gain their identity of priests by serving in the temples. They have done so for centuries. Many brahmin families depend on the livelihood provided by priestly work in the temples. By removing the brahmins from priest jobs we are denying a whole clan of their primary identity.
