Singer Lucky Ali deletes controversial post about Brahmins after backlash from Hindus
Mumbai – Following the outcry by Hindus, singer Lucky Ali has deleted a Facebook post that stated, “Brahmans are a lineage of Ibrahim”. While apologising for this, he has said, “I will be more aware of what I am posting and of my phrasing”.
In this controversial post, Lucky Ali said that the word ‘Brahman’ comes from the word ‘Brahma’. This word has come from ‘Abraham’ or ‘Ibrahim’. Hence, Brahmans are a lineage of Ibrahim. So, what will we gain by fighting among ourselves ? (The definition of the word ‘Brahman’ is ‘ब्रह्म जानति इति ब्राह्मणः’ (One who understands Brahma is a Brahman). ‘Brahman’ is the first of the four varnas mentioned by Shrikrushna in the Bhagawadgeeta. The Sect which Lucky Ali is claiming the word ‘Brahman’ has originated from did not even exist at that time. – Editor)
