they had so successfully projected the purohit as the quintessential 'poor brahmin' (the minuscule minority among brahmins), totally separating him from all the prime ministers, chief ministers, ministers, chief justices, justices, babus, ceos, vcs, professors, editors, anchors,

landlords, bankers, specialist-superspecialist doctors, engineers, architects, lawyers, legislators, parliamentarians etc etc etc he is.. now that poor brahmin purohit fully displays his vulturely qualities at even death ceremonies, pocketing tens of thousands

for a few minutes of mantra-chanting..while the bahujan does the actual work of building the pyre and burning it, and begging for tips in coins and other small change later.. who's worse, the virus or the brahmin..
