Among all brahmins, the Tamil brhamins are the most orthodox. They cling to the system, calling themselves brahmins, whereas others stopped calling them kshtariyas, vaishias etc.Therefore, it is important to attack Tamil brahmins only if you want to attack the caste system.Periyar had thought correctly. Thanks to him, today, we see the younger generations of TBs not so orthodox. Next genearations will completely give up the holier than thou nonsense passed on to the generations by TBs.If the nonsese is revived, then another Periyar is a doubless a certainty.

We could’ve done with that insight early on.

Hi Terry,I just saw your article at the G&M, and a very nice surmamy it was.I was particularly interested to read Gro Harlem Brundtland’s comments. Helen Clark, current Prime Minister of New Zealand, basically adopted Greenpeace’s policy as her government’s whaling policy when she came to power in 1999/2000. I’ve read that she has a huge amount of respect for Brundtland and regards her as a role model. Of course, I wonder whether Clark seriously believes her own anti-whaling mantra, or has simply adopted it for political purposes. Glad I was able to find your blog!Regards,David

Ses cheveux sont magnifiques!Pour les mitaines, je suis d’accord, ça me fait penser à des trucs qu’on ne portait qu’au lycée.Et le style d’hiver… C’est tellement dur! Surtout que je manque de pulls et du coup, si je ne veux pas être transie par le froid qui sévit en ce moment, je dois me lancer dans des superpositions au gout douteux… J’ai souvent froid donc Mais certaines filles arrivent à garder la classe, la chance!

a revolution might be adioved in America because the state was not a bureaucratic system solely serving the ruling classes and was still accessible to other segments of the population.I’d say that’s why the classless (or multi-class) 1% slogan of the Occupy Movement resonated with so many people, like your residents of Belmont, who would never consider themselves working class.’ At the same time, just because class antagonisms’ in America don’t manifest themselves in the same way as in Europe, doesn’t mean they don’t exist in other forms. Nor are demands for economic justice’ in the US anything like the class in itself’ self-identification of European classes in the 19th and 20th century, each with a Party closely identified in its service.Aren’t these the factors that made American democracy resilient for over 200 years? Isn’t this why American politics are so baffling even to us who live here?
