Brahmins Caste Hinduism Vedas

There are some misconceptions on the relationship between Brahmins Caste Vedas and Hinduism.

The canards have been set by the British and later expanded and propagated vigorously by the Dravidian parties to such an extent that many do not know th facts.

1.The Brahmins wrote the Vedas.

The Vedas are called Sruthi , heard and transmitted and there is no authorship.

There is no author or authors for the Vedas.

The Vedas were compiled by Ved Vyasa and not authored by him.

And Veda Vyasa was the son of a fisher woman and Parasara(Brahmin -marriage with Sathyavati was performed by Yagnyavalkya), not a Brahmin.

There is no connection between the Brahmins and the authorship of the Vedas.

There is also a view that the Puanas were written by the Vedas and propagated by them.

They were not written by them and were by Vyasa.

As a matter of fact most of the Gods worshiped by the Hindus are not Brahmins,

Rama ,a Kshatriya,Krishna a Cowherd.

Even the great mantras of the Vedas were compiled, not by Brahmins.

The greatest mantra of Hinduism was by Viswamitra. a Kshtriya, who was called a Brahmin after he gave the world the Gayatri Mantra.

The Vedas were hidden from the Non Brahmins and they were prevented from learning them.

Nothing can be far from the Truth.

One has to undergo some basic disciplines to undergo the study of The Vedas, whether a Brahmin or not.

And the Caste system was not propagated by the Brahmins.

As a matter of fact the defenders of Hinduism and Brahmins were not Brahmins but the other communities, starting from Lord Rama down to Shivaji!

So using canards to persecute Brahmins is nothing short of a distortion of Facts and mischievous.
