Pretty much all Brahmins I know eat meat at their households. But this isn't the first time I have heard such a tale.

That will never work. Caste discrimination is bad and deserves to be gutted but there are aspects of caste that are deeply intertwined with the religion. For instance, certain families(regardless of their own caste) only permit Brahmins to

Are there any legitimate polls to back this up? An average American on the internet is probably against the ruling, but that still doesn't mean that the majority of Americans are against it. If that was the case, we should have either

Except I would rather have the cops punished along with their higher-ups. It's common in India to punish a low-level cop and call it a day. All this while the real masterminds go on to create even more problems for the society.

It's important to note that the cops partake such actions on the directions from higher-ups.

Not necessarily. The so called warrior (and "upper") caste members have been eating meat for centuries. Brahmins (the priests) are supposed to be vegetarian. They are also supposed follow few other rules. These "sacrifices&qu

Only Brahmins are authorized to carry out certain religious activities in Hinduism. So if a Hindu wants to conduct those activities at their house in the US, they ought to fetch a Brahmin. That could be the reason why some Brahmins still st
