Brahmins are 'twice born, have good qualities': Kerala high court judge

喀拉拉邦高等法院法官:婆罗门是“再生族，具有良好的品质”

KOCHI: A sitting judge of Kerala HC has stoked the debate on whether reservation should be on the basis of community or caste alone, suggesting that Brahmins being “twice-born” and blessed with “all good qualities rolled into one” needn’t necessarily preclude them from voicing concern over the absence of a quota system based on economic criteria.

科钦：喀拉拉邦高等法院一法官表示，婆罗门是“再生族，集所有优秀品质于一身”，但并不代表他们应被排除在预留制之外。这引发了一场关于预留制应基于社区还是仅仅基于种姓的辩论。

In a viral video of his speech at the recent Tamil Brahmins’ Global Meet here, Justice V Chitambaresh can be heard saying, “it’s time for you (Brahmins)” to question the basis of reservation. “Occupying a constitutional post, it may not be proper for me to express any opinion. I’m not expressing my opinion. I’m only reminding you that there is a platform for you to agitate or to voice your concerns about reservation.”

法官V . Chitambaresh在最近泰米尔婆罗门全球会议上发表讲话时表示：“是时候让婆罗门质疑这种预留制的基础了。我担任宪法职务，可能不适合发表任何意见。我不是在表达观点，只是想提醒你们，有一个平台可以让你们表达对预留制的担忧。”

He adds, “There is 10% reservation for economically backward classes. But a son of a Brahmin cook, even if he falls within the non-creamy layer zone, will not get any reservation whereas a son of a timber merchant — who belongs to ‘other backward communities’ — will get a reservation if he’s within the non-creamy layer zone. It’s time for you to deliberate and put forward your views.” While arguing that Brahmins being denied any kind of reservation may be unfair, he didn’t hold back in describing the “qualities” that seemingly make a Brahmin first among equals.

他补充道:“10%的预留名额是留给经济落后阶层的。然而，婆罗门厨师的儿子不能争取预留名额，而木材商人的儿子——属于“其他落后阶层”，就能获得预留名额。优秀品质使婆罗门出类拔萃，他认为拒绝给予婆罗门预留名额是不公平的。

Reservation is a curse, it has created a corrupt and incompetent soceity. Help poor people for education. There should be no reservation of any kind either in education or jobs.

预留制是祸患，滋生了一个腐败无能的社会。预留制应该倾向穷人，让穷人也有机会接受教育。

在教育和工作方面，都不应实行预留制。

British supressed Brahmins to conquer India culturally as Brahmins were (are) talented, meritorious. British used Gandhi and Ambedkar for this agenda of supressing Brahmins and convert lower castes to Christianity. Even now, Brahmins are least corrupt, believe in Karma.

因为婆罗门有才能，受尊重，英国便压制婆罗门，想在文化上征服印度。英国人利用甘地和安贝德卡来压制婆罗门，并让低种姓皈依基督徒。即使现在，婆罗门也是最不腐败的，他们相信因果报应。

If brahmins have such good qualities then why don''t they let women perform the rituals and duties of the priests? Not a single temple in Varanasi has a female priest and that is the central pilgrimage spot for all hindus.

如果婆罗门素质这么高，为什么不让妇女履行祭司的仪式和职责呢?瓦拉纳西没有一座寺庙有女祭司，那里是印度教徒的朝圣地。

reservation for priesthood for upper caste is also wrong, govt should make a move that all dalits so called lower caste be trained and ordained as priest

为高种姓保留祭司职位名额也有错，印度政府应该采取行动，让低种姓达利人都接受培训，成为祭司。

This Judge should be impeached immediately. All his judgements should be reviewed for caste bias. Such useless obscurantist mindset people get into judiciary, speaks volumes on the quality of judges. How the hell he thinks all Brahmins are superior to other Indians from various castes and creed.

应该立即弹劾这位法官。他判的案子都要审查一遍，以防带有种姓歧视。这种心态的人都进了司法系统，法官的素质能有多高就可想而知了。他认为婆罗门比来自不同种姓和信仰的印度人高一等。

Such false perceptions divide the society and brings the community to the destruction. I have seen many such people how lacks the ability of clear thinking but possess arrogance in the their attitude as their birth right. Such hierarchy system must be torn down and not to be lauded.
