Hyde, Thanks for those priceless links which succintly delibrated everything I painstakingly put forth. But again, in Nepal's context, clash between dalits and superior class is not as pronounced as in the subcontinent. This was an unbiased article that decries two sensitive issues, 1. A group of prejudiced "brahmin"individuals who proclaim their superiority over other castes 2. Yet another group of malcontent individuals who stereoteotype every brahmin as aforementioned. Danger, Snicker....I wish I could only find a smiley face. Thought Brahmins were completely understandable the way you went overboard justifying. My friend, I am proud to be a human being...nothing else. And as far as that archiac "darwin theory" goes, te likes of Bill Gates and Warren Buffets would all have been "white Brahmins" inthe land of America. I respect the fact that you took a lot of pain in replying. Writing is an arduous job and sometimes it is impossible to expatiate under a small time frame and limited megabytes. However, I am sad to say that they keywords I found in your reply were "sterotypical", "ordinary" and "adherence", wish you could see how I tried to defend a few unpredujiced brahmins. ImI You almost got me there....I wrote it for humans.
