Dear Editor,
Bhagwan Shri Parshuram Ji Jyanti was celebrated in towns and cities with great religious zeal and impressive Shoba Yatras were taken out in the different parts of the country. The organisors of Shree Bhagwan Parshuram Ji Jyanti celebration functions invited political leaders as chief guests, these political leaders never uttered a single word in the relevant forums against government’s antipathy towards the poor, needy and deserving people of Brahmin community. The political leaders belonging to Brahmin community have been vying with each other to please their bosses ignoring their own community, they are selfish, insensitive, arrogant and are perhaps Pseudo-Secular who are always advocating reservations. In Indian political and social sphere there is much ill found perceptions about the prosperity of Brahmins. The governments have been following an appeasement policies for the sake of its vote bank politics and ignore the basic principal of equality and justice. As a result Brahmins in India attain the position of today’s Dalits. There are no jobs, no admission, no social and economic privileges for them. The continuation of caste based reservation is totally based on obsolete date about the actual state of Dailits in India. No survey has been ever conducted to know the economic position of so called upper castes. All leaders of political parties have failed to know the plight of the upper caste, they donot dare to speak or represent the views about the poor, needy and deserving of their castes. Today’s Brahmins can be easily found working as coolies in ware houses, cooks in restaurants and hotels, Pujaris in religious shirnes and temples getting Rs. 3,000 to Rs. 4,000 as monthly wages. Most of the Sulabh Sochalyas in Delhi are being cleaned and loked after by the upper caste, more than 60 per cent of the rickshaw pullers in Patel Nagar Delhi and in the city of Banaras are Brahmins. Now the question arises do our institutes connect with real India! While pointing out the reverse discrimination existing in bureaucracy and politics of the country 75 per cent of domestic help and cooks in Andhra Pradesh are Brahmins. Think, who are the real Dalits in India today? Today about 50 per cent of Brahmins live below the poverty line in Andhra Pradesh, there is no reason to believe that the condition of the Brahmins in other parts of the country is different. The pre preferential politics for the non Brahmins in government jobs and in modern occupations such as law and medicines have forced Brahmins to retreat in these spheres. The governments have been going so far shamelessly dividing Indian society for garnering votes. Caste based reservation has been fracturing Indian society if we have a cursory look over Indian politics we can easily find that anti Brahmanism is still originated and prospers in anti Hindu circles, the reason of existing deplorable plight of Brahmins in India is due to the total neglect by the Brahmin leaders, thinkers and social activists who care much for their own welfare, they never demand anything from the government for the upliftment of those who are living an abject life below poverty line. Upper caste including Brahmins are themselves responsible for their worst economic conditions as they are not ready to get united to strive for the abolition of discrimination being done to them. They are divided house they need to get united for the future of their progency.
