"Is supposed to inculcate" right? My impression of events leading up to partition was that it was at least in part due to rampant corruption and blatant greed of contemporary Brahmin that produced a secular/socialist backlash. Certainly that's the impression I got. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't Brahmins in the past been notorious for behaving exactly opposite to their professed ideals? -- Charles
