I am brahmin.. and little offended...

i am brahmin and have a huge family..... and none of us follow any of the customs mentioned in the serial. so am kind of offended by the people blaming brahmins for all the nonsense happening in the seriall...i want radev together just like most people on the forum... and if that is not happening don;t be mad at the people who are not involved but the creative and directors who a writing the story just to keep going in circles.. one more thing.. according to hindu(brahmin are hindus) scripture the person take the religion of the father meaning in today's epi the way it is shown that the mother is not brahmin that is why the son is not... if thecreatifves want to show the thing folllowed in ancient time than they should do that clearly and thoroughly.. that is my 2 cents.. next please be careful while posting any kind of derogatory remarks toward any race or religion thanks....

I fully agree. I am Nagar( another branch of brahmins) and I have not seen this. I am also form very religious family. And if nagar marries to anyone but nagars, the kids take the religion of the father. but i guess there are rigid people too in this world so please do not get offended.

I am a brahmin and the father's caste is the only thing that the child will carry forward.

I agree!!! actually this whole caste system is total crap!!! I mean...God never differentiated among us human beings?? It was man himslef, who created all these boundaries!! Lets not have such misunderstandings in the forum, only bcoz of this dumb serial!!!

Well said even Kanha is not Bramhin!

nehal- a "little" offended- it is extremely offensive to such portrayal of brahmins. When we read about Vyasa, the author of Mahabharata born of a fisherwoman and Sage Parashara and honored thus- no talk of varnasanka, where did this stupid 'tradition" come from? Sita of the ramayana also never knew who her parents were, she was raised as janka's daughter and thus addressed and married a prince and future king.
The creatives do not have the right to manipulate the sastras to suit their purposes to make a story for the sake of drama. Sorry, it is extremely offensive and had this happened here in the US we would have a public litigation and a public apology by the director/producers and script writers for portraying Hindu sastras (different from customs- morphed socially over time owing to invasions etc.) in such poor light.

I am brahmin too ... but not offended by the show

There are temples that still practice( high cast/ low cast ; Jain/non-Jain, etc ) exclusion. Brahmins eat in the inner premises of the temples separately from the non-brahmins in some temples; entry to Jains only in some of the temples still happen. So this is not something unusual that they are portraying here; its just that some of us here may not have had those experiences, jmho.
