    who is real Brahmin ? what is the meaning of Brahmin ?

    Brahmin means who has knowledge, its not a just caste by "born"

    Correct me if I am wrong, I thought Brahmin are the highest caste in the Hindu system and they are extremely well respected because of their position in the Hindu society.

    not sure about the OP or the video, but i love the author of the video!
    used to read his columns when he wrote for Indian express!

    should go to is site and read indian history about aryan dravidian and british raj!
    and i remember his article on Nostradomus and his predictions for India!... a must read! talks about BJP-Congress, and Sanskrit!

    Video... well this is what happens when you go from a caste based economic specialization system, to a mere democratic - capitalist economy system,... every one has got to earn for himself!!!

    as Nehru rightly put it,.... "the fittest servives"!


    EDIT: i have doubts the video is from the real Francois Gautier, coz his style of reporting is diffrent!

    My opinion is that someone can only be judged by their actions, not by who/what he is born into. Therefore I reject the caste system as its just plain discrimination.

    What I get from the video, is the brahmins (normaly holy people) are not getting respected/paid/used enough. Maybe I am simplifying the problem but can't they just get a different job!

    Doesn't make sense at all. Just because someone's born a brahmin should he be treated with a silver spoon? If being a temple priest doesn't bring in enough income, then choose a different profession instead of asking people/government for donations.
