A few days ago, the trade adviser to Donald Trump says this way-"Brahmins are exploiting people" on account of importing cheap oil from Russia.
My high school English curriculum included 'The Merchant of Venice,' which portrays Jews in a negative light, depicting them as exploitative and ruthless in their economic dealings. Decades later, a recent statement by a Trump administration adviser brought this lesson to mind. Interestingly, the adviser seems to be drawing parallels between Jews and Brahmins/Brahmans, noting the latter's significant presence in India's government and corporate sectors as well as in the USA's tech, medical, academia, space sectors, etc. It's worth acknowledging that Brahmins have indeed been over represented in these spheres, and their intelligence and capabilities are now being recognised globally.
What is the context?
Peter Navarro, a trade adviser to US President Donald Trump, justified the 50% US tariff on Indian imports, made a statement criticising India's purchase of Russian oil and targeting the Brahmin community. Here's what he said:
"I want Indians to understand what is going on. Brahmins are profiteering by buying Russian oil at the expense of the Indian people... You've got Brahmins profiteering at the expense of the Indian people. We need that to stop."
Now let me analyse the intention in making such a statement.
The influence of foreign entities on India's internal affairs has been a subject of concern, with various tool kits being employed to disrupt the nation's harmony. It is a known fact that foreign sources, mainly the Deep State, USA, are facing setbacks in most of the tool kits provided to the 'Buddhi Jeevi' of India as well as the Rahul-led Congress party.
Target Brahmin
This is the new tool kit to divide the population. Every step of protest is first rooted in a statement from the USA, to be taken forward by the Congress/Opposition party. By targeting Brahmins, who have a significant presence in every field in Bharat, it is expected to create unrest in the nation, thereby attempting to shake PM Narendra Modi's position. This is indeed a concerning development.
And.. the presence of Brahmins in the USA
Now let me relate the statement to the presence of Brahmins in the USA.
Technology: Brahmins' presence is notable in Silicon Valley and other tech hubs, with some holding leadership positions in top companies.
Science and Research: Brahmins have made significant contributions, often working in top universities and research institutions.
Medicine: A number of Brahmins have pursued careers in medicine, with some becoming renowned doctors and medical researchers.
Academia: Brahmins have a strong presence in academia, with many holding faculty positions at prestigious universities.
Entrepreneurship: Many Brahmins have successfully started their own businesses, leveraging their skills and expertise to drive innovation and growth.
Finance: Brahmins are also represented in the finance sector, with some working in investment banks, venture capital firms, and other financial institutions.
Corporate Leadership: Brahmins have held CEO positions in prominent companies.
Moreover, it may be noted that the Brahmin Community who are generally in elite class, are paying huge tax to the government of the USA.
But, it's concerning that targeting Brahmins in the United States might become increasingly common, given the recent controversy sparked by Peter Navarro's comments. Peter Navarro's rhetoric statement has raised fears of rising anti-Hindu sentiment in the US, with some American Hindu groups criticising Navarro's comments as a "colonial-era trope" that stereotypes and divides Hindu society.
Beware Brahmins!!
