Brahmins should not be victim for illegal activities and should follow the ideologies of Brahmanism.  There are sub-castes within Brahmins, the seer said and called upon Brahmins to remain united leaving behind differences within the caste layer. There might be philosophical differences, but unity is more essential to counter external invasion.

He said there is opposition against the practice of Brahmanism. The intellectuals always target the Brahmins. In the midst of all the troubles, a Brahmin should focus on the purpose of his birth and lead all community men towards the right path, the seer said.

Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCCI) working president Dinesh Gundu Rao assured to look into the problems encountered by the Brahmins. He said Brahmins have contributed a lot to the development of the country since pre-independent India to the post-independent India.
