S.S. KARNADSHA, during his peregrinations in the pathways of power and pelf in Bangalore, chanced upon a copy of a weekly newspaper called 'KARNATAKA CORRIDOR' circulated mostly in the Vidhana Soudha and its environs.
Edited by Vishwanath Bhagawat, the May 15 issue carries this purported quote of Shankar Dayal Sharma, the former president of India:
"The quota system may have taken away posts from Brahmins. No one could take away brains from Brahmins."
'Karnataka Corridor' then announces the formation of an organisation to safeguard the interests of "Dalit Brahmins". Dalits, in this case, standing for "Disgusted, Afflicted, Literate, Intelligent, Talented."
"Talented Brahmins who need any kind of assistance may
contact: 94483 6***6," exhorts the ad.

Is this asking people to take sides on what is a tragi-comic battle- The striking doctors of AIIMS were as belligerent as the DSS- it would be a sad day if we were to chose sides in this circus- or as Kuvempu says is this a case of marige mari- beralge koral,

DG,
Your morning are having wise thoughts and evenings adultrate them!
You ask KP not to initate such talks and come back to initiate more person centric discussion.
Start following even before you start preaching.
KP is managing a balance of good articles, crowd pullers, gimmicks etc

It is NOT rascist ad at all. If different communities can have their own forums, supporters and leaders to push their communities interests, why not one for Brahmins? After all, in this country, with the kind of vote based politics, no political party would want to stand by, support and work for the Brahmin community because they are a minority and do not stand up to be counted, that is the fact.
Having said that, on one hand, govts, cry hoarse on rooting out caste/creed and for establishing a caste-less society, but on the other support caste based reservation, which is self defeating.
Articles like these will only instigate casteism, trigger readers to take sides. In my opinion, Churumuri should not post such articles.
