Becoming a Brahmin
Algorithm for converting a Shudra into a Brahmin

Begin.

Step 1: Take a beautiful Shudra girl.
Step 2: Make her marry a Brahmin.
Step 3: Let her give birth to his female child.
Step 4: Let this child marry a Brahmin.
Step 5: Repeat steps 3-4 six times.
Step 6: Display the end product. It is a Brahmin.

End.

Algorithm advocated by Father of the Nation at Tirupur.
Documented by Periyar on 20.09.1947.

Algorithm for converting a Pariah into a Brahmin

Awaiting another Father of the Nation
to produce this algorithm.

(Inconvenience caused due to inadvertent delay
is sincerely regretted.)

She is referring to the EVR "Naicker" AKA vengaya Periyaar as the Father of the Nation.

I bet this Meena was dumped by a Brahmin dude and his parents due to her Shudra caste.

P.S. I would have thought EVR would have argued in the opposite direction.

P.P.S. Didn't he go to Banaras when he was young for religious "enlightenment"? These guys who are obsessed religion, in either direction, seem to just opposite sides of the same coin.

I bet this Meena or any of her DK brave people have any guts to criticize Thevars, Goundars, Naickers, Muslims - who practice casteism much more than the Brahmins. Brahmins in TN are a mere 3% and timid, and they will never protest or hit back.

Uppili,

TBT,

What Meena Kandasamy says is possible. A prominent example: Gemini Ganesan. His grandmother was not a brahmin.

Gemini Ganesan was born Ganapathi Subramania Sarma to Ramaswamy and Gangamma on 17 November 1920. Ramaswamy's father Narayanaswami was the Principal of the Maharajah's College, Pudukkottai.[13] Early in his life, Narayanaswami was married to a Brahmin girl but on the early death of his wife, he married again, to a woman named Chandramma from the Isai Vellalar community.[13] Notable among Narayanaswami's children with Chandramma were Muthulakshmi and Ramaswamy, father of Gemini Ganesan.[13]

His grandfather died when he was in the sixth class and later on, he lost his father as well. After the death of his father, Ganesan, along with his grandmother Bagirathi and mother Gangamma, moved to his aunt Muthulakshmi's residence, in Madras (now known as Chennai). Life in the city did not suit Gangamma, and she decided to go back to Pudukkottai.[6] His birth name is widely accepted as Ramaswamy Ganesan, though it is also rumoured to have been Ganapati Subramanian Sarma.[14]

There are so many things that comes with experience and living, and cannot be documented. We discussed about this Meena Babe sometime back... she was not a Brahmin (her given name is iLLaVeni - not a Brahmin in a million years) but from a well-established and educated professional family (both her parents were university Profs). She is even scheduled to act in a movie... Check Wiki...

married and divorced - check with Uncle Google
