There are many sites and fora devoted to Tamil causes and Tamil brahmin causes.the site WWW.Tamilbrahmins.com is one such site.
They talk all good as well as bad perspectives on Tamil brahmins. The administrators collect donations.They say that it is registered as a trust. some old bureaucrats retired from Delhi and NRI guys who are the new rich brahmins run the site.they don't give full profiles to public.They want to supersede Tambras as an institution.
Some talk about old Sampradayams.Some ask basic questions.Some indulge in innuendos and mockeries as was the habit of old Tamil brahmins.
When facts and truths are expressed that forum gets into a recoil mood and wants mutual admiration societies.
Further what they do with the sums amassed? they preach and criticise others.Even other castes.I am of the firm view that brahmins were and are being oppressed in Tamil Nadu and in India at large.But these site preach sermons against all caste and the way people post appears to me to ne anti-other castes than they are anti-brahmin.Other castes oppress and suppress the brahmin supremacy.But his pack of new NRI in coordination with some locals are more anti-Muslim and anti-other non-brahmins than those non-brahmins are against brahmins.
Brahmins are 7% and deserve 7% percent importance in mass societal activities and cannot claim all the 100%.importance.Further Tamil brahmins lack first
line managerial capacity.They are good as second line if we analyse at the macro-level.
Hence they cannot demand all the cake and make a far cry of oppression.
Further as they are veggies in a majority sense ,although the new rich NRIs are not in large number,they cannot exclude others of secular and "Sadbavana" characters from their fold.
this elitist thought that they are the only meritorious in the world adds lot of hubris in their character.Even brahmin women who belong to the new rich category behave in churlish manner,forgetting all modesty.Many brahmin girls elope with other caste boys as they consider brahmin guys as not very masculine or they don't consider them as dependable.
This Tamil brahmin site is taking cudgels for Archakas and some some priests.If you visit chidambaram and see the behaviour of the Gurukalls there you will understand the hatred towards these people are justified. High vacant hubris and haughtiness displayed by them is abominable. further there are priests in Tiruttani temple who fight cases to utilise the temple lands etc. these priests were growing in mushrooms in Malaysia and Singapore and visiting those temples.But hey were running businesses on the side.Many have shops or taxi business. they don't help their neigbours who are poor.
While i support the voice against any suppression or oppression I don't want the brahmins to conduct themselves by overdose of hatred of other non-brahmins claiming genetic purity.
As I have tried to educate the Tamil brahmins with my experience to accept realities and correct their cultural gaps.But the "selfish-gene" which is working is a bit exploitative in brahmins and more in Tamil brahmins. this should be consciously corrected.
Further i have found in them timidity with cunningness to look down upon other castes despite the fact others have tolerated them over a period of history without doing any ethnic cleansing.

Brahmins of Tamil nadu are meek souls following their rituals and other avocations.Many are cooks,run hotels(brahmin hotels),Grukkals ,Vadhyars. They have all along shunned adopting carpentry,masonry and such hard physical jobs, because there daily routine and some words in the Vedas and other brahminical texts pull them apart towards worshiping God on a daily basis with rituals like the jews.As orthodxy fed them with bhojan on freely from landlords and temples they carried on a mental journey of bakthi.Thinking the imaginary path of God and religious ways will help them to lead a good life.
But the surge of materialism saw a few as advisers to Kings on many matters.They were quick to grasp mathematics and science because of their habit of reciting verses and memorizing them.Over a period of time these habits have got impregnated in the genes of the brahmins and their progeny.
They quickly grabbed the authority of expertise and to some extent concern.But the position remained secondary economically.
Above links give an idea of the hatred they are subjected to the extent of oppression.As they don't react with violence like the Muslims they were bashed right left and center.If the politicians of parochial nature in TN don't have any issues or points to talk or if they wan to divert the attention of the people they used to lecture against brahmins as they don't react with violence or opposition.
The same politicians cannot utter a single word against other castes and sub-castes as they are majority if put together in the electorate.
