Brahmins back as Devta?

The process of Brahmin revivalism has begun in politics of Uttar
Pradesh. From being reduced to the stature of political untouchables,
post-Mandal, the Brahmins in the nation's most populous State are now
back in demand like never before. No wonder that the Congress
Government at the Centre, which has big stakes in the upcoming polls
in UP, has decided to accord the sesquicentennial anniversary
celebrations of Madan Mohan Malviya, the founder of Banaras Hindu
University (BHU), the same grandeur as it did in the case of
Rabindranath Tagore's 150th anniversary. The committee constituted for
the purpose has Dr Karan Singh and Rita Bahuguna Joshi from the
Congress and Satish Mishra from the BSP. No wonder that the Member of
Parliament from Varanasi, the home of BHU, Murli Manohar Joshi is
smirking as till the other day, Malviya was seen as the symbol of
Hindu revivalism by the parties which are now propping his name for
Brahmin votes.
