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.
