RSSAre you one of those REEEE DRUMPF ONLY PAID $750 IN INCOME TAX people?
Well as the article says Kerala was way more extreme than other areas.
But in Gujarat for instance where there is a long tradition of commerce and cosmopolitanism, rich merchants often had Brahman cooks because food cooked by a Brahman can be eaten by anyone whereas if your cook was of a lower caste, some of your guests might not be able to partake. In fact a Gujarati (maybe Hindi and other languages too, not sure) word for household cook is “maharaj” which is also an honorific title for a priest. (And related to maharaja – a king.)
Social hierarchy not necessarily == economic hierarchy.
Maybe that’s why many Indians are obsessed with Whiteness. Some of those Midwestern gals could subsidize an entire fire station.
Are you South Indian? Tamils can’t pronounce unaspirated consonants which is why they say Gujarathi. It’s actually Gujarati. On “more dishonest and incompetant” [citation needed] as the kids say. PM Narendra Modi is Gujarati and he built is career on a reputation for incorruptibility and competence. It’s true Gujaratis (like the ubiquitous Patels for instance) are more capitalistic than other Indians and perhaps that comes off as dishonest to idhiots from places where earning a living is considered a dirty thing.
Anyway this guy probably is dishonest/incompetant. Isn’t that bad enough without dragging in squabbles from the old country into it?
LOL Total B.S. Modi is a scumbag who put a huge mewa (debt) on Gujrat as CM. Modi's "clean image" and "shining Gujrat' B.S. among Indians are the handiwork of American P.R. Company APCO.
