<<...Tamil Brahmins, who constitute less than 3% of the popln [...] are massively disproportionately represented in the Civil Service, the legal profession (including the Judiciary), CA, and so many other high-end professional fields.>>
“...also true for most upper-castes, despite a century of caste-based reservations, which have proven inadequate to completely erase the benefits of many centuries of hierarchical privilege (which included Brahmins’ EXCLUSIVE right to education for much of the time).“
THIS!

“The unkindest, and most inaccurate cut was the insinuation that Tamil Nadu has suffered sub-standard developmental outcomes because of identity politics run amok. Nothing could be further from the truth.”

A Muslim-hating, casteist ex-colleague said he left India to escape discrimination against his community. Guess where he moved to? Qatar.

I’ve an issue with everyone who spins anti-reservation or casteist spiel making themselves victims. I was born into one such group too, which despite all their privileges /affluence / social capital manage to hold on to BC reservations while being really (horribly) casteist.
