Tamil Nadu: Brahmins demand caste based reservations for themselves Empty Tamil Nadu: Brahmins demand caste based reservations for themselves

A section of Brahmins in Tamil Nadu is pushing for reservation in government jobs and educational institutes, giving a new dimension to the politics playing out in the run up to next month’s state elections.
The claim, by some leaders of BJP and Anthanar Munnetra Kazhagam (AMK) – a political party floated by Brahmins who say they have enlisted 15,000 people across the state – contradicts existing caste dynamics in the country where millions of lower caste community members have suffered at the hands of upper caste ones such as Brahmins.
“It is a curse being born a Brahmin in Tamil Nadu,” S Ve Shekhar, former MLA from Mylapore, which is a Brahmin dominated constituency said.

Good for them. If others can do it (demand and get quotas based on caste) then why not them?

DKheads must be very happy. Now they know how many Tambrams are still left in TN so that they can restart the pieceful work of Periyar. Pappu should take this opportunity and criticize Tambrams so that some DKheads may consider voting for CONmen.

Why LoL ?

If the muslim descendants of the ruling muslim elite of a 1000 years can demand reservation, why not the Brahmins, Pillais, Thevars, Goundars and Naickers?

If the govt is prepared to break the basic principle behind reservation - upliftment of the people who were subjugated for centuries - why not just expand it to anyone and everyone ?

Ideally, they should scrap the quota system and reinstitute an income-based system. Admission and appointments should be offlimit from the quota system.
