No one seems to be willing to take this case. If you guys are willing I'll give it a shot.
Disadvantages of me:
- -- I'm new to wikipedia
- -- I'm ignorant regarding the subject matter
- -- I'm not an administrator so I can't enforce anything
- -- This would be my first time on wikipedia acting as mediator so you would get all my first time screw ups.
Advantages
- -- I've never been to India, I'm not Asian, I'm not a Hindu; no Indian has ever told me their caste and so I'm about neutral as you can ever ever hope for.
- -- I have mediation experience in other contexts.
So are you both (User:Anirvan and User:ISKapoor) game? Is so please send me you your emails and we'll get started.
First sentence:
- ISKapoor: Anti-Brahmanism is hostility toward or prejudice against Brahmins as a religious, or ethnic community, which can range from individual hatred to institutionalized attempts to vilify Brahmins.
- Original: Anti-Brahmanism' is hostility toward or prejudice against Brahmins, often as a result of historical injustices permeated by the Hindu system of caste and varna, which had Brahmins at the helm. Anti-Brahmin tensions exist primarily in India. There is also a significant amount of literature which is anti-Brahmin.
- Anirvan: Anti-Brahmanism is hostility toward or prejudice against the Indian Brahmin caste, or against Brahmin individuals. Those expressing anti-Brahmin sentiments often claim that they are responding to historical or contemporary injustices permeated by the Hindu system of caste and varna, which placed Brahmins (historically linked with control of religion and education) as the highest caste.

Even British, 1857 War of Independence (Sepoy Mutiny), prohibited Brahmins from joining the Army. An unprejudiced study needs to be done how a small minority could & continues to dominate the society for 3000+ years, notwithstanding changes in rulers & regimes, even while not being rulers themselves.
