Chill Pannu Maapi, a YouTube channel, has portrayed Brahmins in poor light and encouraged violence against them through one of their videos.
A ‘shorts’ video released a few days ago showed a woman working for a food delivery company and her boyfriend delivering an order to a Brahmin house.
The house owner, who appears to be a Brahmin based on his slang, berates the woman for failing to properly read the delivery instructions, while her boyfriend stands by silently watching the scene.
Despite the fact that it was stated in the delivery instructions that the calling bell should not be pressed as there are children sleeping, the delivery girl presses the calling bell without properly reading the instructions.
After that person (Brahmin) goes inside, her boyfriend tells her that the guy was talking too much. In a few seconds, the house owner returns, yelling at her that the order had been misplaced and that there was a Biriyani parcel inside.
While the girl is shown apologizing, the house owner yells at her, “Do you know what this is? Biriyani. We are all pure vegetarians. We never even had the smell of Biriyani in our house. It is your duty to check the order. You are a brainless idiot. You’d be better off dying than torturing us like this.”
An enraged boyfriend assaults the house owner, questioning how he can berate a woman for a misplaced order that isn’t her fault and that she is working in the hot sun delivering food. He added, “How dare you tell her she should die. I’ll break your jaw.”
The video seems like an attempt to incite hate towards Tamil Brahmin community by stereotyping and demonizing them as people who have no empathy.
This video that encourages violence against Brahmins has received over 18 lakh views and 1.5 lakh likes.
