Brahmins Are Terrorists

This is a new one for me.

I am used to hearing Brahmins as the people who inspired, nay, concocted The Vedas,organised The Indian Society on the basis of Castes, gained control over the others,enjoy maximum benefit out of the Society and name calling as 'Aryan Invaders,Kulluka Bhattars,Thieives,Exploiters !

But to brand Brahmins as Terrorists, is very interesting.

A terrorist has an agenda, say, Nationhood(LTTE),Religious fanaticism(AL Qaeda) or any specific goal for a particular community.

If Having a Nation has been the goal of Brahmins, they could have had it long back, right from Chandra Gupta period, why even from Vasishta's Period?

Did they seek it?

Even in modern India there have been kingmakers and Politicians, some big, some not so popular.

They have been king Makers,but at the request of Kings!

No doubt Nehru family is ruling India.

But who kept on crying for them to head the country?

Brahmins?

Utkala,Oriya,Odisha Brahmin Surnames.

The difference between theOIdisha Bengali Brahmins is very thin.

However, Odisha Brahmins have a distinct identity and Rituals.

But the original Character of the Brahmins throughout the World remains the same.

he Utkala Kingdom was located in the eastern portion of the modern-day Indian state of Orissa. This kingdom was mentioned in the epic Mahabharata, with the names Utkala , Utpala , Odra Desha, Oddyana and Okkali. The name of Utkal is mentioned in the Puranas, Epics and different religious text book. According to Skanda Purana, the land of Utkala is the holy land in Bharata Varsha where Purusottama Kshetra is situated. It is mentioned in India's national anthem, Jana Gana Mana. The Utkala Kingdom was also known as Kalinga, Kangoda, Odra Desha, Odra Vishaya, Oddiyana, Mahakantara, Attabhika, Matsa Desa, Dakhina Koshala, Dandabhukti, Odabadi, Yajanagar, Uddisa Subah etc. in different time period of. The boundary of Utkala region was from mouth of river Ganges in the north to river Godavari in the south and Amarkantak hills in the west to Bay of Bengal in the east. Suryavanshi emperor of Orissa Gajapti Kapilendra Dev renamed his kingdom from Utkala to Orissa Rastra.

Utkala Brahmins, branch of Pancha-Gauda Brahmins are the farthest branch of the Panch-Gauda in the east, south of Maithils. Panch-Gauda and Panch-Dravida are two chief divisions of Brahmins, as per the śloka from Rājatarangini of Kalhaṇa / Kalhana:

कर्णाटकाश्च तैलङ्गा द्राविडा महाराष्ट्रकाः ।
गुर्जराश्चेति पञ्चैव द्राविडा विन्ध्यदक्षिणे ॥
सारस्वताः कान्यकुब्जा गौडा उत्कलमैथिलाः ।
पञ्चगौडा इति ख्याता विन्ध्स्योत्तरवासिनः ॥
