He gave Prakash G a hard time, claiming that he was not a Brahmin and turned Pundits against him.Well, what can I say? At a certain level of my consciousness I've lost respect for all brahmins. They use and abuse the lower castes. And, why did brahmins appropriate to themselves monopoly rights to be pandits? If a chamar educates himself in the Hindu scriptures, philosophy, rituals etc why can't he become a pandit? Pointedly, even if Prakash Gossai were not a brahmin why couldn't Reep recognize his panditing abilities?
Gilbakka abhors casteism. I am for egalitarianism and social/religious justice. Time for a socialist revolution in Hinduism.
Gill,
Reep had no problems with my brother [Kasthriya] who became a pandit nor with the Swami,maybe Gossai was more popular suh he doan like him.
I know quite a few youths in Guyana who were trained by Pandit Reepue Daman Persaud to become Hindu pandits regardless of social status or so called caste. Reepu was determined to promote Hinduism in Guyana.
Only a few doghsyte here try to taint his efforts in order to please PNC black masters.
