Well, yes of of Telugu Brahmins may still be like that though I suppose many change once they settle outside... achitturi is a Telugu Brahmin and probably an NRI and from what I remember from one of his posts on old IMDB, he is a non-vegetarian now. You see all sorts of people among every group. By the way, what you said is just common among Vaidiki Velanadu Brahmins or even the Niyogi 6000s? I know many Telugu NRIs who are still vegetarians. But i agree it's possible there are non-veggies among brahmins. But they are mostly secretive, at least in front of their wives and mothers, for we are a very female doMinated community. It's almost 100% common among vaidikis, but definitely seen among both sub-castes. I'm mostly talking about Guntur and Vijayawada regions. Things could be slightly different elsewhere. Since, chitturi must be from Rayalaseema(at least his ancestors) it could be different. My best guess is drspaceman is also a Telugu brahmin. |

Even I was stunned at those ads. But it's mostly gujus who do such a thing. Definitely not just Gujjus. I can't imagine a Telugu brahmin renting home to anyone else other than brahmins. We don't even advertise renting, it happens by word of mouth. Forget non-veg, Telugu brahmins can't even tolerate smell of onion and garlic and excessive masala used in most non-brahmin Telugu households. The funny part is we don't even rent homes to non-Bs even if we don't stay nearby. I mean, i have known NRIs who rent their flats only to Brahmins even when they are staying in a faraway country. My maternal grand parents even today don't allow a non-brahmin to enter their home, even technician guys. Not everyone is allowed into the kitchen unless they take strict bathe directly from water in the well. Yes. We had brahmins stay at our house during the New Years holidays. Insufferable bunch. Also, I remember being sent to a Hinduism class when I was a kid and it was taught by a Telugu brahmin. He used to complain that his cunt of a wife wouldn't allow him into the house if he had garlic bread. |

Were you born into Telugu brahmin household, even though you don't identify yourself as one, spaceman? |

It's amazing that people are able to exhibit such mean and callous behaviour in the name of righteousness and able to get away with it so easy. One of my cousins got married to a Christian guy and had to convert and change her name (which I guess is common with inter-religious weddings involving Muslims/Christians). When her little nieces/cousins showed up dressed in bridesmaids costumes the priest at the church did not let them inside the church because they didn't have veils on top of their heads. |

Aj_June pimpinainteasy nicermogFirst of all, don't jump into conclusions on Telugu Brahmins too soon, especially since today's Ugadi, the Telugu new year day and also just based on a few lines I posted on this board, which is not the entire picture. Let us not forget, before you call Telugu Brahmins illiberal, it was a Telugu Brahmin, PV Narasimha Rao who "liberalized" our economy and arguably the best PM of India. Sure, we are very rigid with our dietary practices because we are mostly an introverted community and introversion isn't necessarily discrimination.

Sad thing is that kal is probably proud of this shitty behaviour. |

jeez! i feel like alcohol ban is just around the corner. We need to identify safe havens for meat consumption in this country and should resort to violence when we are confronted for consuming meat (chicken, mutton, pork and fish). |

The fight shouldn't come from existing political parties like congress which are steeped in corruption. I guess the ban on hard liquor in bars and shutting down of beverage outlets was the result of a game of chicken between Chandy and Sudheeran that went too far and now nobody can do anything to fix it. Chandy was trying to be such a shrewd badass and he ended up screwing himself that time. And I actually voted for this fucker Sudheeran once back in the day. |

I'm confused now. Who was generalising about Telugu Brahmins?
Btw, are widows allowed to attend their children's weddings in your community? I assume it must be quite empowering for a woman to not be allowed at your own child's wedding. Maybe the women are so introverted that they actually prefer not having to be in the presence of so many people.
