The Brahmin atrocities was myth
created by Britishers to break the society from within and for conversion.

*Brahmins - Victims are
penalized!*
The accusations:
1. Indian Brahmins have been
oppressing the lower caste population in India.
2. Brahmins introduced the
inhuman "untouchability"
3. Brahmins are cunning,
parasitic exploiters and creators of the iniquitous caste system.
4. Indian sub-continent's biggest
problem was 5000 years of Brahmin oppression!
5. Brahmins never allowed others
to read and write or to learn Sanskrit!
6. Brahmins are arrogant,
dis-respective, communal and abusive extremists who whip the dalits (lower
caste Hindus) till they die.
7. Brahmins exploited and
continue to exploit everyone else.
8. Brahmins authored the Hindu
scriptures just to ensure their own highest position in the social hierarchy.
The list is endless!
And any educated person believes this as 100% truth. Even those who are born in today's Brahmin caste are apologetic about their birth due to these so called "truths"! However, these 'truth' arguments clearly lack historical validity and logical consistency. It is merely a case of “repeat a lie a hundred times and it will become the truth”. (Joseph Goebbels' theory).

It is amazing to see that how
fiction can become truth in course of time!
Let's examine truth based on
facts and real history.
1. To start with, there is no SINGLE Brahmin God in Hinduism!
1. To start with, there is no SINGLE Brahmin God in Hinduism!
2. All Gods are from backward
castes, dalits and tribals.
3. Brahmins never created the
concept of Gods in Hinduism.
4. There was not even a SINGLE
Brahmin King that ruled India.
5. To be able to oppress others
requires positions of power. Brahmins were teachers, scholars, priests,
advisors but not rulers.
6. The Brahmin’s traditional
occupation was that of temple priest (purohit), officiating religious
functions. Their sole income was Biksha (alms) given by the land-lords
(non-Brahmins).
7. And another section of
Brahmins were teachers, that too without salary.
8. Vedic literature was mostly
written by non-Brahmins! The most powerful of the dharma shaastra, that gives
Brahmins a high status, is the Manusmriti written by Manu, a non-Brahmin.
Brahmin means a profession (Varna) - not a caste.

9. If the reading and writing of
Sanskrit was confined to Brahmins then how do you have the tribal Valmiki
composing Ramayana? Ved Vyas, who classified four vedas and wrote Mahabharata,
was born to a fisher-woman.
10. Sanskrit was used mostly by
non-Brahmin writers - there are very few scriptures in Sanskrit authored by
Brahmins.
11. We consider the teachings of
Ved Vyas, Vashishtha, Valmiki, Krishna, Rama, Agasthya, Vishwamitra, Shrunga,
Gowthama, Buddha, Mahavira, Tulsidas, Thiruvalluvar, Kabir, Vivekananda,
Gandhi, Narayana guru etc as most valuable.
12. If none of them were Brahmins
why cry out loudly that "Brahmins did not allow you to learn?" There
are numerous works on bhakti by non-Brahmin bhakti saints.
13. Brahmins never prevented
others from learning.
14. Brahmins were neither rich
nor powerful at any point of time in history. Pick up any old Indian story
book, you will see ‘Garib Brahmin’ (Poor Brahmin) quoted as a virtue. (Remember
Kuchela-Krishna story?)
15. Though their profession was
considered as highest stature of the society, the Brahmin ascetics' only way of
survival was alms given by people.
16. The biggest contribution of
Brahmins is sustaining the best language ever spoken in the earth - Sanskrit.
If you learn English or Arab, you have commercial benefits.
17. Nobody ever promoted
Sanskrit.
Without any benefits, Brahmins took up voluntary task of learning Sanskrit. Then, now you accuse them of monopoly in Sanskrit!

Besides, Brahmins were never powerful,
they were not Kings.. They didn't enjoy powers and wealth.. Naturally, they
worked hard on gaining knowledge, led life of austerity.. So there is no
question of exploitation by Brahmins..
When population of Brahmins range from just 2% in Tamilnadu to 12 %in Uttarakhand how can they dominate majority..
