Indian civilization for more than 10000 years has directly or indirectly influenced
the world today, extending from Afghanistan in the west to east Japan and to south
Indonesia. The role of Brahmins is very profound and significant in defining the
ethos and social fabric of the Indian society. There were famous Brahmin kings,
ministers, artists, architects, scholars, saints, rishis who delineated every living
aspect that is sustenance of progressive life till today. Every Brahmin regardless
of the state, language, sect or sub sect has to be proud of being the descendants
of such unquestionable boundless legacy. Every non Brahmin also has to take pride
being part of such heritage and adherence to Indian way of life. It is also crucial
for a non-Brahmin too to support the cause for the welfare of whole society.
Can we rest and live on our fore fathers laurels? Are we still the same community
commanding prestige and respect akin to our legacy? Can we pride ourselves as net
contributors to the society? Forgetting the roots is a recipe for extinction. Only
32% of the Brahmins are well to do and the other 68% are either unemployed or under
employed, vulnerable and economically backward. If disregarded very little hope
for future young generation to meet basic access to good education, sustainable
employment and ability to keep Brahmin way of life. Will it not hurt everyone if
we are oblivious to the facts? Can we be insensitive to the fate of our fellow community?
Obtuse about existing state of affairs is horrendous. Its prime bound duty of every
Brahmin to be aware of the facts and help the fellow Brahmin in need.
