In a classic case of targeted attack against Brahmins, a reporter belonging to a Tamil YouTube channel named Red Pix harassed women belonging to the Brahmin community with insinuating questions in an attempt to intimidate them and peddle caste hatred.
The women had participated in an event near Express Avenue Mall in Chennai that was organized to discuss about the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) quota and the Tamil Nadu government’s reluctance to implement the same.
After the event, the reporter from Red Pix can be seen confronting a dispersing crowd with mindless questions like whether Hindu women can become temple priests or Sankarachariya. He also goes on to put words in the mouths of the women saying that women are not allowed to study as per Manu Dharma.
The Red Pix reporter can also be seen going on a rant saying that reading and teaching of Vedas, studying, being in official positions, being High Court/Supreme Court judges and Ministers, etc remain exclusively for Brahmins.
He also goes on to claim that only 13 Ministers are from the OBC (Other Backward Caste) community and that the rest are all higher caste and Brahmins. “Why BJP Cabinet has a majority from the upper caste and Paarpanars (Brahmins)?”, he keeps asking the woman as another lady interjects and pulls the woman away from the scene.
The video clearly shows that the intention of the said reporter was just to harass the women and peddle caste hatred. This video is now going viral on social media with many condemning the behaviour of the reporter.

A few users on Twitter pointed out how women priests do exist in Hindu temples while it was the Church that does not let women become priests.

Tamil Nadu Congress spokesperson Americai V. Narayanan also condemned the incident and has requested the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister to take action against those who create disharmony.
No one has a right to interfere/harass a private citizen in public place. They have a right to do this with any public figure. Request @CMOTamilNadu & @chennaipolice_ & @PoliceTamilnadu to take appropriate action to prevent similar occurrence that will create disharmony https://t.co/StQEIc4rkA

Speaking to The Commune, spokesperson of Indu Makkal Katchi Sathya Narayanan said “This atrocious hatred has to be countered. We will be slapping cases against the reporter and the channel which is run by a person named Felix Gerald.”
“They ask why only Brahmins are allowed to become Sankarachariyars. They should know that each community have their own mutts and gurus. But they ask Brahmins because they are the punching bags for these Dravidian idealogues”, Sathya Narayanan asked.
“This is why this racial hate peddling ideology called Dravidam has to be rooted out not just from Tamil Nadu but from the entire world. It is a poison wherever it is!”, Sathya said.
