A reputed leader of our community has expressed his concern over the

difficulties faced by young purohits and cooks of our community in getting

married.

These days even rurally based shivalli brahmin girls want alliances from

software engineers, doctors ,MBAs CAs etc. They are ready to marry even a person

just drawing below four-figure salary but having so-called white-collar job.

They don't want to marry Purohits, Cooks , who are bases of our community and

these days have earnings equal to and some times more than that of suit-clad

yuppies.

If this trend continues in our community there may not be any purohits or cooks

in the days to come. Or the purohits or cooks may have to marry brahmin girls

from other communities or even inter-caste marriages(this happened in 19th

century when our people went to Kerala and became Nambudiris) Is it a symptom of

degradation of the community?

Is there a solution to check this trend?

The leader who told me this says he has an answer. He says that our Community

leaders , temples, institutions should see that poor, destitute female children

of our community should be brought up in Gurukulas run solely for female

children . Our traditional values should be taught to them in childhood itself

so that there would be less attraction to lead a cosmopolitan-life. These

children when grown up can get married to boys who take up Paurohitya or Cooking

as thier Profession.

 

Any comments?!
