Nambi Narayanan – ‘Is it a sin to be a Brahmin ?’

Critics of this film ‘Rocketry: The Nambi Effect’ are commenting, ‘Narayanan is a Brahmin. Upon this Nambi Narayanan said that he was not a Brahmin and if he was a Brahmin, what is there to object about ? Are you going to kill them ? Would they consider him as inferior ? So many Brahmins have laid their life for the country. I can give you their list. You are unnecessarily making an issue of it.’

Will you call me a communist ?

PM Narendra Modi and Kerala’s CM Pinarayi Vijayan support me, he said. Are you going take me as a communist ? People take Modi as BJP man. This has been imprinted on people’s mind.

Editorial perspective

It is shameful for Hindus that a Hindu individual needs to ask such a question.
