BRAHMIN SAMAJ


Popular Quotes

Brahmin Samaj

Backward Classes like Pawar, Marar, Lodhi, Kasar etc. should be kept involved in the religious affairs so that their attention be kept away from political rights and they always remain slaves and supporters of Brahmanism. The political consciousness that has developed among the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Backward Classes and Religious Minorities has threatened the leadership of Brahmanism. Hence, such a confusion and conflict be created in them, that they keep on fighting among themselves…. Friends, the whole thing must be implemented secretly. This letter should not reach in the hands of lower castes. It is a secret letter.

Officially the caste system has been abolished by Indian legislation, and the Brahmins have no more legal rights or authority than any other people. Yet culturally, they maintain an attitude of superiority, and dominate what they refer to as the lower casts to the degree that they can. In this quotation, a major Brahmin organization was trying to secretly organize Brahmins to resist the political consciousness raising that was ongoing in the lower casts of the area. Class reform in India is very difficult because cultural tradition is often more controlling than law. And legal rights must be exercised for them to be meaningful.
