| Anti-Brahminism
Today
Many groups obviously benefit from anti-Brahminism and have promoted this view to the present day. Christians and Muslims are often strongly anti-Brahmin and use this to divide Hindu society in order to gain conversions. This is natural because the Brahmins have been the main group obstructing the conversion of Hindus to other religions. Turning the population against the Brahmins, who are their religious guides, makes them ripe for conversion. Christian missionaries like to appear as saviors of poor Shudras and untouchables from Brahmin oppression. This is little more than propaganda. The same groups have done little to eliminate the poor and underclasses in Christian countries.Christian missionaries originally came with colonial armies and aided in the plunder of non-Christian countries like India, creating poverty in what was a much richer land before they came. They were hardly defenders of the poor. The poor only became important for conversion purposes, which is why after they are converted they are largely forgotten. |
