Brahmins, the real minority. ಬ್ರಾಹ್ಮಣ ಯಾರು ?

 BRAHMINS ! Brahmins, the real minority.

It is amazing to see that how fiction can become truth in course of time!


Let's examine truth based on facts and real history. 

1. To start with, there is not a SINGLE Brahmin God in Hinduism!

2. All Gods are from backward castes, dalits and tribals.

3. Brahmins never created the concept of Gods in Hinduism. 

4. There was not even a SINGLE Brahmin king that ruled India.

5. To be able to oppress others requires positions of power. Brahmins were teachers, scholars, priests, advisors but not rulers.

6. The Brahmins' traditional occupation was that of temple priest (purohit), officiating religious functions. Their sole income was bhiksha (alms) given by the landlords (non-Brahmins).

7. Another section of Brahmins were teachers, that too without salary.

8. Vedic literature was mostly written by non-Brahmins. The most powerful of the dharma shaastra, that gives Brahmins a high status, is the Manusmriti written by Manu, a non-Brahmin. Brahmin means a profession (Varna) - not a caste.

9. If the reading and writing of Sanskrit was confined to Brahmins, then how do you have the tribal Valmiki composing Ramayana? Ved Vyas, who classified four Vedas and wrote Mahabharata, was born to a fisherwoman.

10. Sanskrit was used mostly by non-Brahmin writers - there are very few scriptures in Sanskrit authored by Brahmins.

11. We consider the teachings of Ved Vyas, Vashishta, Valmiki, Krishna, Rama, Agasthya, Vishwamitra, Shrunga, Gowtama, Buddha, Mahavira, Tulsidas, Thiruvalluvar, Kabir, Vivekananda, Gandhi, Narayana guru etc. as most valuable.

12. If none of them were Brahmins, why cry out loudly that "Brahmins did not allow you to learn?" There are numerous works on bhakti by non-Brahmin bhakti saints.

13. Brahmins never prevented others from learning.

14. Brahmins were neither rich nor powerful at any point of time in history. Pick up any old Indian story book, you will see gharib Brahmin’ (Poor Brahmin) quoted as a virtue. (Remember Sudama-Krishna story?)

15. Though their profession was considered as highest stature of the society, the Brahmin ascetics' only way of survival was alms given by people.

16. The biggest contribution of Brahmins is sustaining the best language ever spoken on the earth - Sanskrit. If you learn English or Arabic, you have commercial benefits.

17. Nobody ever promoted Sanskrit.

Without any benefits, Brahmins took up voluntary task of learning Sanskrit. Now you accuse them of monopoly in Sanskrit!



Besides, Brahmins were not Kings. They didn't enjoy powers or had wealth. They worked hard on gaining knowledge and led life of austerity. So there is no question of exploitation by Brahmins.

When population of Brahmins range from just 2% in Tamil Nadu to 12% in Uttarakhand, how can they dominate the majority?

After reading all these can anyone blame Brahmins?

ಬ್ರಾಹ್ಮಣ ಯಾರು ?

ಬ್ರಾಹ್ಮಣ ನಿಧಾನ ಆದರೆ ಸುಧಾಮ. ಶ್ರೀ ಕೃಷ್ಣ ಅವನ ಸೇವೆ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಾನೆ.

ಬ್ರಾಹ್ಮಣ ಅವಮಾನಗೊಂಡರೆ, ಚಾಣಕ್ಯ ಆಗುತ್ತಾನೆ.

ಬ್ರಾಹ್ಮಣ ಕೋಪಗೊಂಡರೆ, ಪರಶುರಾಮನಾಗಿ ಪೃಥ್ವಿ ಯನ್ನು ನಾಶ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಾನೆ. 

ಬ್ರಾಹ್ಮಣ ವಿದ್ಯೆ ಕಲಿತರೆ ಆರ್ಯಭಟನಾಗಿ  ಪ್ರಪಂಚ ಕ್ಕೆ '೦'(ಸೊನ್ನೆ) ಕೊಡುತ್ತಾನೆ.

ಯಾವಾಗ ಬ್ರಾಹ್ಮಣ ರೋಗಿಗಳನ್ನು ನೋಡುತ್ತಾನೊ, ಆಗ ಚರಕ ನಾಗಿ ಲೋಕಕ್ಕೆ ಆಯುರ್ವೇದ ಕೊಡುತ್ತಾನೆ.
