My dear friend, are we not speaking of *Today*? If a brahmin
anywhere in India takes water from the wrong well, will he be
killed just because of his birth? For that matter, is there
such a thing as a ``wrong'' well for a brahmin or other
high-caste Hindu?

Being a brahmin, I doubt it.

Since I am also a Tamil, I have a great deal of Tamil brahmin
relatives, and while they have legitimate gripes against certain
governmental policies, I have *never* heard of any brahmin girl
being forced into prostitution. Of what do you speak, dear friend?

Speak the truth, comrade!
