What's the difference between Aryan Brahmins and Dravidian Brahmins?
Like this, there are several myths, due to North Indian infuences, Tamils (I replaced for Dravidians) believe, unaware of their glorious history.
Here are the Myth Busters in the lighter note:
Myth 1- Hinduism is dividing us into four varnas- Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and Sudras.
#Manu is not applicable to South of Vindhyas. It is applicable to a country, South of Himalayas and North of Vindhyas. Manu blinks on all people South of Vindhyas.
#Ayyars and Ayyangars are Tamil priestly classes, with the respectable Tamil root “Ayya”. They are like Bishops, Priests, Deacons. Yes. They are like Lebbais.
Myth 2- Hinduism divide us by Caste
# Discrimination by race, ethnics and caste is worldwide phenomena. It will disappear slowly through education, urbanisation. Indian Government has implemented a tool in the form of reservation.
#Discrimination will again remain- as status by position, income, wealth etc and cannot be eliminated.
#Tamils are no exception divided by caste instead of Varnas.
- from A(yyar) to V(anniar) in Hinduism;
-RCs and CSIs in Christianity;
-Ravuththars, Maraikkayars, Lebbias in Islam.
#At the subtle levels, everyone is proud of their heriditary and tools to break them are not sufficient, though money, status, power are breaking.
I hope that I clarified.
By the way who are Aryan Brahmins? Whether they will have horns on their head?
