Karma or Reservation Policy

Now the entire Tamil Brahmin community,particularly the Iyer community, is a beleaguered community in Tamilnadu. Popular reasoning is that they are being made to atone for the sins they committed on the other communities in the past Karma. Majority find it comfortable to deport themselves to escape the wrath of the violent anti - Brahmin regime of all the parties that come to power in the State of Tamilnadu. Even the God has cursed them and the curse is that the communities will have everything like School, Colleges, Hospitals, Mutt, Corporate houses etc to them not serving them. The most intellectual of this community are those talking derogatory of the community to ensure respectability for the others. The lofty ideals of their way of life cannot now be followed by them due to the prevailing system that drives them to alienate themselves from any ideals for their life.

This has to be discussed because in a forum seeking Reservation for Brahmins, it is the Brahmins who voice opinion against it.Sailapathi (talk) 03:37, 23 September 2010 (UTC)Sailapathi[reply]

How funny ?

Brahmins presense in Tamizhagam before sangam Age.YOu should be kidding us. If this is the case why do we have mallu brahmin, telugu brahmin, Kannada brahmin, north indian brahmin? At the same time there is no Kannada mudaliyar,telugu Nadar,Mallu Goundar,north indian udaiyar and so on. There is very well documented evidence to support your misdemeanor in Tamil country. How you people stole ideas from tamil music, literature , dance and renamed carnatic musice , bharatanatyam. You people killed RajarajaCholan's brother to occupy tamil lands. Later you were kicked out TN by Perudiyar RRC. By the way if you people are really tamil why you guys find glamour in Dead language sanskrit.

Portrayal in Films

Not required in article .How they portray the community is films is not required this is about half of the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kumbakonam Iyengar (talk • contribs) 15:16, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Kumbakonam Iyengar: The cultural depiction of ethnic groups and the stereotypes surrounding those groups is very much a legitimate topic for an encyclopedia. I agree that the section was unduly large given the overall size of the article, but it was well-cited and neutral. I suggest rather than simply obliterating it, it would make a valid topic for a separate article (Cultural depictions of Tamil Brahmins).

Don't fork out stuff unnecessarily. If the content is unduly long, cut it short. No point in forking into two small articles which can be good together. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 16:34, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Harris

Discussion on Harris' inclusion should take place here, and consensus gained, rather than edit warring over it. See WP:BRD, WP:3RR and WP:OR. Given the stable consensus is a revision without mention of Harris, and inclusion is contentious and regards a BLP, please don't restore unless consensus is gained.

Ive been watching from the sidelines, but believe the citations are about Vice President Harris' mother not her. Rklahn (talk) 17:11, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sundar Pitchai

Sundar Pitchai of Alphabet belongs to Pillai community. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 223.184.120.39 (talk) 14:23, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have proof for this? He is widely considered Brahmin hence such a claim needs solid evidence. Temporary 1010 (talk) 20:33, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

genetic studies

tamil brahmins are genetically distinct from south indians, especially tamils, and there are plenty of sources online to prove this. they are more related to other brahmin sects and cluster with northwestern indians along with other outliers in india like uttar pradeshi brahmins and the ror tribes past haryana. this should be a section in itself as it has been a rather controversial yet fact based topic for a prolonged period of time. it doesn't take a genius to figure out the phenotypical differences between a brahmin and a tamil. of course there are sometimes slight overlaps but that happens in all communities in south asia.
