You are proving my point. The fact that there was no murderous mobs rampaging against the TN government move should tell you majority's support for reforms. Compare that to a SC killed in Delhi for allegedly "disrespecting the holy book", or the Bangladesh riots for the same reason a few days ago.

Varna is decided by karma, not birth. Dalits can and do become brahmins by following diets, rituals and become temple priests. Brahmins also have become kshatriyas by picking up weapons of war.

>> Those last 2 to 3 minutes each

They are on EVERY day of the year, 5 times a day and start at 5 am. Festivals aren't daily. Why hide that fact?

>> Nowhere in the post the author says or even recommends not to build and audience
