12 Things You Should Know About Paarpaan (Brahmins) of Tamil Nadu


Here are 12 things you should know about Paarpaan (Brahmins) of Tamil Nadu. These points are transcript prepared by Suthamalli Ganga. (If you understand Tamil, you can listen to the video at the end of this post)

  1. Why paarpaan, not Brahmin – because today’s ‘brahmins’ were doing astrology like others carpentry, or agriculture. Paarpaan, a Tamil word for the ‘looker’, ‘marker of future or astrology’ is the self-generated profession of 5% of people who call themselves as a brahmin, because they claim that they came from the mouth of creator ‘brahma’ and rest from lower parts to indicate their lower status.
  2. Parpaans’ Rigveda has Varna or colour system codified in its chapter 10 called Purusha Sutra with the Bhagawat Gita (inserted in Mahabharat – which is the story of a paarpaan king, killing Buddhist king by treachery, staring the establishment of paarpaan power in India) confirming that assertion. Bhagavad Gita Chapter 4, poem 13 glorifies the four-varna system (degrading the majority as shudra and such hard-working farming communities as untouchables)
  3. Go to a group or meeting – A Christian will handshake you, a Muslim will hug you but a paarpaan Hindu (Iyer) will say ‘namaskaram’ or ‘namaste’ from a distance because he believes in untouchability
  4. One can become a president but not a priest in Hindu temple because it in India social power is higher than political power (now a paarpaan has political power also along with administrative power)
  5. Hindus God starts with Varna, purity, caste because it declares that the creator Brahma – created 5% Brahman from his mouth (95% rest from lower parts to degrade the rest)
  6. Today’s paarpaan never tender apology, but only does escapism by saying that what he got to do with their forefather’s mistake injecting caste hierarchies and no corrective actions as well and enjoying all the privileges.
  7. Look at the percentage of 5% paarpaan in the judiciary, an administrative service which goes up to 80%. Doesn’t it tell that the paarpaan they are holding, all administrative powers along with social and political power even after 70 years of independence?
  8. Hinduism is stamping a lower hierarchy for non-brahmins by grading people based on birth. No other religion has degrading mechanism by birth.
  9. We don’t protest other religions, say Christianity or Islam for having parts such as (protestant/catholic) or Shia and Sunni because parts don’t degrade as caste. The earlier parts such as saivam, vainavam, saitram don’t harm as they only look different ways of looking into one faith and we don’t dislike religion per se, but don’t believe in the idea of God.
  10. Saying, ‘I am a Brahmin’ is like putting a board on your door saying, ‘sacred women live here’ as if the rest of the neighbours are doing prostitution.
  11. Parai is music, a dance form, an art form that includes the music for the war declaration. But reducing Parai only to music for the funeral is wrong. Then paarpaan should play their veenai, which is apt for funerals.
  12. Today’s Indian Brahmin or Paarpaan were originally from the present-day Syria, who speak Sanskrit. Current research says that these fair skinned were brought by brown and black skilled Tamils into India during their sojourns abroad for trade and war for millennia in some 40 countries and today 80 originals Tamils are living and mixed with other cultures.

    Though i agree that there was/is caste based separations,i don’t agree on the view in entirety. Even if we assume that the point with administrative jobs is true we cannot deny that politicians (MP/ MLA) in TN who control the officials are not Brahmins/ paarpaans. Its always easy to target minorities or paarpan brahmins because they don’t oppose/ fight. In short using reservations and quotas the government is doing the same thing to brahmins which it said that they did to others decades back. Even now many from brahmin community don’t ask for anything extra assuming that in history their forefathers did injustice to others and now its time to repay, but poking the community people again and again for mistakes not done by them now is unfair.

    This article seems to be more one sided, there are many positive sides of Brahmins and there many areas that needs improvement as well. There are many good things that can be taken from Dravidar kazhagam, but there are equally many negative things about this Dravidar kazhagam , they are wasting their energy , in following bashing brahmins , which does not put up any value add if repeated

    Well in that case, per study of human genetics, it has been proved that all human beings come from Africa originally. So this theory dates back even before your date of Syria/Brahmins story (which any way has no evidence). In conclusion – we are all from Africa- shudras and Brahmins or anyone…

      Its strange, because Hulk is always shown having a great with original-settlers, to all the planets he has traveled to in the marvel comics universe, and hates gods and demi-gods. Hulk wearing a sacred thread doesn’t just fit in, but the horizontal (Shivaite origin, i suppose) lines on the forehead may fit.
      Correct if i am wrong.
      Great article btw. It was educational for me.
      Thank you.

    This article is a goldmine. I was looking for something like this for the past few months and now I have hit the jackpot.
    Thanks for this post. Please keep it up.

    Message for the Sindhuja.
    I am from another part of India and have nothing to do with Tamil caste system. In fact as someone whose father was in a transferable post and having traveled the country far and wide, some of my best friends throughout have been Tamil/ South Indian brahmins (of course at that time we never knew who was brahmin and who was a shudra). Did not matter to any one of us and none of us cared.
    For the past 20 years I have been a resident of Chennai and until 2015 I have had the most comfortable and uneventful stay here. I lived in neighborhoods like Alwarpet, Adyar, Madipakkam – each one different from the other in socio-economic sense, but, we as a family never ever had any difficulty in mingling and becoming a part of the neighborhood almost instantly as we moved in.
    However, 2015 onward I suddenly was made a scapegoat and target of the most ugly, vicious and inhuman brahmin politics. After having lived in a residential complex of 400 apartments in a neighborhood called Medavakkam for nine years with no problem at all, I was suddenly faced with this peculiar problem about which I only read in the newspapers. It was as if a whole population from interior most regions had come en mass to show me their superiority, their feeling of invincibility and their constant search for a target for sadistic pleasure. It was as if they were looking for some game entertainment.
    What happened to me was completely unprovoked and without any basis or reason. It was as if a group of 70/80-year-old men and women were looking for some entertainment and since they could not target local Tamil person for fear of political backlash, they decided to pounce on me.
    I suddenly experienced the brahmin motto and practice of Identify, isolate, ostracize and excommunicate. This was the dirtiest game in the world which now needs to be told to the rest of the world. Especially because 99% of these participating brahmins were ‘techies’ i.e. the Indian Software Engineers along with their parents and family members – all of whom have migrated en masse from small remote villages and small towns around the same time i.e. eleven years back.
    Most of these ‘techies’ are on H1B and I have now pledged to publicize this to various international alternative media, journalists, SHRMs, and business forums where the clients of the Indian IT industry are active.
    I was actually pleasantly surprised to find that quite a few of techies in the USA on H1B have already been talking and writing about this ugly iNDIAN caste practice within the Indian H1B community. One of them shared a post by none other than the noted Supreme Court Judge Honb’l Markadeya Katju about this heinous caste practice by Indian techies in the USA.
    This is an ugly secret, which, when it comes out in the public forum, will embarrass people like Indra Nooyi and Sundar Pichai and Satya Nadella – all brahmins.

    While I appreciate your efforts of making the father of our constitution available for readers like me aggressively looking for e-format of his works, I would like you to bring forth or place proofs/testimonials to justify your discoveries. I am on your side. I am not criticising you. Just would like you to make sure you put forth things that have solid support and basis to corroborate your articles.

    For an example: The second point you have mentioned says “Parpaans’ Rigveda has Varna or colour system codified in its chapter 10 called Purusha Sutra with the Bhagawat Gita (inserted in Mahabharat – which is the story of a paarpaan king, killing Buddhist king by treachery, staring the establishment of paarpaan power in India) confirming that assertion.”

    Can you please produce the evidence for the same? Cause, I have tried it on my end to check to see if as such is said in Rig Veda.

    Thanks

    Your words are biased. Thanks for making paarpan homeless in Tamil Nadu . 20 million parpan have left Tamil Nadu in the past 3 decades due to reservation.. Its an exodus. Dead snakes are easy target to ascertain your position. Your research about parpan is like Tamil serial. Anything can be twisted to support your vision.
    May you all have good life but don’t celebrate it as a revenge or hated or downfall of another person or culture or nation……? Every culture had goodness and evil.
    But please don’t misinterpret brahmins.
