What is it like to be born in a Brahmin family in India?

 Being born in Tamil Brahmin family

1 .We are taught to excel in studies and compete with others , since Brahmins are not reserved ,(though some brahmins are reserved in OBC) we have to work hard and excel in life.

2. The most interesting part is most of the Tambrahms are well qualified and have excelled in life and some of them have also settled in UK, US and Australia.

3.Extremely hygienic :- Everything should be in exact place and should be clean , you will be scolded otherwise.

4. Food:- We are vegeterians and do not have non-veg food ( There are some brahmins from Goa, Odisha, West Bengal who consume non- veg food , but there is a history behind it), Our elders never consumed onions and garlic, but for us it is a necessity.

Most of the Tambrahms are addicted to Curd and Filter Coffee.

5. Rituals:- Common for all Brahmins, have to perform sandhyavandhanam 3 times in a day,(though i have to skip afternoon) and should knows other prayers like Hanuman chalisa etc.

6.Madi acharam- When you get into madi, people advice you to not touch anything or anyone. It is done during the performance of specific rituals or festivals. The intention is to stay clean both in mind and body .

7. During Grahana/ eclipse days :- No eating and drinking water 5–6 hours before eclipse starts and after, grahana is over we have to take bath then only we can have some thing.

8. My elders have taught us to treat every person equal irrespective of caste, creed etc.

9. Poltics:-We are politically backward in the almost all states and we are not a dedicated votebank and we are the one who are targeted .

We have to hear this as well :-

But they forget that Lord Maha Vishnu’s third avatar is Varaha !!!!

Anyways, we are tolerant people and don’t care for these cheap taunts.

Had, it been other caste definitely there would have been destruction of public properties like buses etc.

Proud to be Brahmin…..

Which is the most royal family of India?

 The most royal family of India is the one that did not leave any grand palaces, family photographs, playing polo and similar stuff.

This particular royal family is the most illustrious (unfortunately underrepresented in Indian history) royal family of India with 4 centuries of continuity, the only family that found a solution to the Sri Lankan problem, messed up SE Asia just for fun and left behind a legacy of architectural marvels. I mean they would have looked with amusement at all the Mewars, Gwaliors, Barodas etc. (which passes for royalty because we have photos of them) because their minor vassals would have been much bigger than these photographed royal families.

These folks did not not leave any palace located in the middle of the lake, but they did leave 3 UNESCO heritage sites within 20 square miles.

Built in 10th century

Built in 11th century

Built in 12th century

The most royal family of India is the Later Cholas of Tamil region.
