Anti-Brahmanism: A Case Study

U. Mahesh Prabhu, ivarta
The Great Uprising of 1857 unnerved the British, though for a while.
Within two or three years of quelling it, and with great ferocity,
they set to work putting together a version of the incident that would
suit their ends. "The uprising was confined to just a few pockets",
they said, adding, "it erupted as a result of local
misunderstandings", and that "there was no national sentiment behind
it for the leaders themselves fought only for their feudal
privileges-one because her son was not being recognized, another
because his pension was being stopped, and so on."

Yet, whenever I try to expose the negations and false concoctions of
Muslim and Christian intellectuals I am easily branded a "fanatic",
"fundamentalist" and what not.
The point I wish to wish to make here is simple. If Brahmans, after
facing so much opposition from everyone including those of their own
faith, can keep up their courage, write stories of passion, and
contribute proactively, without brooding over their plight, then it is
certainly possible for the Muslims to do so provided they come to
terms with modern world dynamics and shun violence in all forms and
types.

"Muslims say they are proud to be Muslim, Christians say they are
proud to be Christian, Sikhs say they are proud to be Sikh, and Hindus
say they are proud to be … "secular."
