Khanal is the only person here who is even bothering to think. It is very easy to blame everything on the caste system, and especially on the Brahmins since they are in many respects superior. It makes no sense to blame prostitution on the Brahmins since they uphold the highest moral values and have done so for over 6000 years. Any Brahmin who visits prostitutes has forsaken the privileges granted to him or her by the Almighty and does not deserve to be called a Brahmin. Such a person becomes an outcaste and a criminal, there is no doubt about this because this is what the Shastras have said. This whole idea of some type of "openess" helping the situation is utterly misguided. By accepting prostitution, one only encourages it. Sometimes the best way to be compassionate is to take a fierce approach and here it is absolute neccesary that we completely cut down prostitution. Then only, will these people seek more wholesome and respectable jobs (hopefully with a pension plan). Those who say otherwise are narrow-minded and do not think of the future.
