Reservation for Iyengars

The Brahmin association today is just Brahmin's Chamber of Commerce. The business people act only for the betterment of their business. Iyengars of Tamilnadu were well united up to the grass root level and are pragmatic with good social connections. It is because the community had a definite agenda for securing educational opportunities way back in 1983 they dared to start an Engineering College with the blessing of Tamilnadu Brahmin Association in Vellore (Dr.N.M.Parthasarathy Iyengar)and defended its legal right to do so in Supreme Court. The favorable verdict in Supreme Court paved way for Privatization of higher education and hence the Iyengars in fact achieved their agenda!!!

The problem now is that the Iyengars do not know as to what they want. Yes... they do not have any grievance against the government even though nothing comes their way in real life.

I request the elite in the community to firm up opinion on DEMANDING RESERVATION FOR IYENGARS. This definitely will be a powerful agenda to unite Iyengars again. Moreover it will also bring in advantages.

Why not? Throughout history Iyengars were neither rulers nor business people. There is no evidence that they are all educated except for the fact that they all have been trained in the skill of chanting Vedas. But that is no education in today's standard. The rulers and business people of yester years (Kshathriyas and Vaisyas) had better education on the intricacies of Vedas than the Brahmins and those communities enjoy reservations now!!! Why not the Iyengars?????

In a way the Iyengars and Sudras are alike in many ways. They are both faithful to their masters like a dog but bark at each other again like a dog barking at another dog. The leaders of Dravidian movement fed one dog as pet while chose to hit another dog as mongrel. But Constitution of India will not allow such discrimination. We once won our case in Supreme Court. We will win this also. We only have to put an effort.

I strongly felt that the portal of Tamil Brahmins exclude Iyengars and hence this thread.
