Guest guest Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 Dear All, The other day I was walking in "Dillards" store and was surprised to see a brand of handbags "Brahmin". I think this violation of the holy name of this subsect of Hinduism should be condemned. I am trying to find means and ways to communicate to the company for using that word. For me, I think it is my dharma to protect my religion and its constituents. I am more afraid becuase if tomorrow that becomes a big brand, the westerners would identify it with bags rather than what it actually stands for, as we know how little general knowledge the Westerners possess about the outside world. Help me to think rationally and let me know if you think I am acting in a reactionary manner rather than thinking logically. And if anyone has any suggestions about how I/or we(whoever is ready to join me in this battle) communicate to the company, please feel free to write back to me Let me know what you think.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 Dear Sai, This is just my personal opinion. Our Shashtras talk of Brahmin as a quality as opposed to being a birth right as its commonly beleived. A person is known as a Brahmin by virtue of his Guna and Karma---i.e Gunasya, Karmasya. There are six qualities and twleve activities that are needed to be called a Brahmana.These days we see many who claim they are Brahmins, but engage in abominable activities and have all kinds of vices. In my humble opinion, there is a greater need to correct such people who have bought ridicule to this Vedic Classification (Varna), than the use of the word by a supermarket chain. This is just my opinion and I have no desire to argue nor do I intend being offensive.
