Sri Chanakya’s Niti Sastra says “Never inhabit a country where you are not respected, where you cannot gain knowledge”..
I feel now, my future generation would not be respected, nor they can gain equal education. So what is the point in inhabiting this country… I am very pained to say this..
But do i left with any choice?
I am already treated as a second grade citizen and as per the trends, this would further deteriorate… I am help less. I wanted to stay in my country and serve it. I wanted my country to flourish and be a role model to all the nations to follow.. but now after seeing these cunning ruling class (The OBCs).. yes these are the ruling class, take the example of Tamil nadu what is the percentage of MLAs / MPs that are brahmins? I guess its less than 1%! And what is the percentage of OBCs its 99%!!! and these 99% guys say they are backward and they need reservation!! what an irony…
I want to disown my state, i am very ashamed to say that i belong to such a nasty sate of Tamil Nadu…! I hate these caste based politicians who think they are taking revenge on the brahmins for my fore fathers commited crime on their fore fathers!!!
I was brought up in chennai city, i never knew what was the caste of the guy who sits next to me at school, until i filled up my higher secondary examination forms where i am asked to mention my caste as Forward!! I saw when such a forward guy as me is coming on a public transport, my backward friends were coming on luxurious cars!!! I couldnt get what this backward mean? If they feel that guys in viallages are back ward then why are these guys who are coming car getting the reservation? Are they still back ward?? This is just bull shit.
I dont know why i am being discriminated for no fault of mine… I was brain washed to think that i need to bore the mistakes of my fore fathers!
I have never done any discrimination against any one! why am i being discriminated based on caste… ???
Is this to tell me that i need to start discriminating people based on caste? Or is it to tell that I need to move out of my country….??
Any way i am getting a secondary treatment in my own country why shouldnt i go out and work for another country where i would any way deserve to get a secondary treatment…
atleast then i wont feel as bad as like this…..
Me – A Most backward Brahman..
Thoughts 
Aravinthan,
True. It was a miserable pain for just missing me the College Seat in Sri Venkateswara College, Sri Perumbudur in the Counselling because General quota ran out. I very well remember the day of counselling in 1995 August.
We missed heavily on DOTE I colleges because of this reservation thing. I accept I was’nt upto Anna University cutoff though.
Now, improving upon reservations would simply mean degrading the society heavily

YEs deepak. I feel the main reason for our sufferings is to be a silent spectator to all these atrocities. WE should voice out in public, for otherwise we cannot answer our future generations!
Very interesting. Well, I stay in one of the best colonies, the capital city in India and am treated like a second class citzen by the local club. For details see my latest post.
Sorry…this comment is a little late but…
> taking revenge on the brahmins for my fore fathers commited crime on their fore fathers
well, i don’t think there’s any documentation of large-scale discrimination that *Brahmins* heaped. I mean, these were people coolly living in their Agraharams out of anyone’s way…
this thing about brahmins doing something keeps getting repeated without any substantiation! If anything, the dalits etc. should blame landlords…
Well. I saw Rang De Basanti last night. The ending seemed ver ypractical to me. People who voice out in public, however truthful they are(to themselves), are heard only for a while. Indians in general seemed to be really lazy and have the ability to quickly forget things(that they should not).
But, we still have hope.
We have a choice. Trust me. We do.
Sit and keep whining!
or
Do something in our everyday lives.
We need things to be done. How many of us can come out clean about bribes. Giving in to bribing is worse than taking.
Don’t all of us want to take the short way to things(at least most of the times)?
Let us take an oath. Let us not give in to bribe/corruption. Maybe in the short run we will be affected, but I guess someone has to make the first move.
Even in politics, the blooming of Lok Paridhan revives a hope in me.
I doubt if evading the country will solve the problem.
US has its own corruption(only in a higher level). But we do not care much as we are not affected directly.
I might have contradicted my comments here. I just wanna say, India is good. But it badly needs to be better.
i am a physician( specialist) i graduated from a medical school in orissa although iam tamilian in origin i feel not a bit of affinity or liking for the state except that it is the land of origin of my forefathers i will make sure that my son who is born in the us gets to achieve his full potential without any damn reservation system. ironically the so called proreservation politicians keep coming to the us to get treated you because they don’t trust the doctors that come out of the resevation system !!!!!!!
