Ills plaqueing our community

Mr.Varadarajan and other like minded members::
Ihave been going through all the postings of various members very particularly that of Mr. Soundarrajan. I do not know why Mr.S.Rajan never tried to focusson brahmins matters instead of showing great interest in all other matters. Day-in and day-out our community is undergoing alot of hardships including the evergoing intercaste marriages, eloping with other caste boys and girlsnot to speak about parents themselves encouring such marriages.. Infact I wanted to start adebate on this subject but am not sure how many of our forum members join the debata and take active part in it. I do not want to proceed in the matter unless I a m sure of quite a number of members taking part in it. I now noticed that most of the new members joined very recently in our forum show great interest in our community's culture,past heritage, anmeekamm etc.,Those who are really interested in our community's welfare particularly who oppose intercaste marriages may mention their names under the heading "Joining the debate" .The debate

Re: Ills plaqueing our community

Sri:
Dear Sir,
The forum default style is changed to "Default" from "Back to Basics" style for all
so, you are not isolated.
This can be conformed by using the below link by any member:
http://www.brahminsnet.com/forums/pr...do=editoptions
After getting that page scroll down to bottom and check at the "Forum Skin" Tab
You will find the active style (Default) for you.
You change that style to "Forum Default" style, this will not make any changes for you because
already you are in the same style.

Please use the below steps:
1. Click the "Settings" menu found at the top right corner of any page.

Re: Ills plaqueing our community

Swamin,
A very detailedd descriptions on settings! I was not aware of many of these as I was not keen on probing to knowwhat all are possible .
Thanks for enlightening us,
It is exhaustive and informative, but we seniors will take some time to read it slowly and understand it fully.
Thanks again for patiently clarifying.

Re: Ills plaqueing our community

Of late (may be for a week or less), we see an ad in TV where a smartha Brahmin [with vibhuthi and poonal] ,on a scooter approaches a singer in a car and requests for an opportunity to sing in a competition and the singer mockingly says ' oh, here also' and drives away; somehow I felt this is demeaning; the opportunity seeker could have been shown as anyone but without Brahmins' caste symbols. I do not think this as a funny advertisement but as an insult to the particular community.

Re: Ills plaqueing our community

I dont find any degrading or demeaning in the reply. Could you please explain in what way it seems to be demeaning to you.

[R.Varadarajan]

Re: Ills plaqueing our community

Mr.Santhanam,
Could you elaborate as to which Advt. you are referring to? If possible we can check up and judge.
Please provide details of the Ad.
