One of the qualifications of a brahmin is that he starves
to death rather than work for a living. How many of us
satisfy this criterion? I certainly don't.
I think that usage of the term "shudra" as long as it refers
to onself. For example, " I am a shudra." Think of all others
as servants of God. How about using "jivas" for everyone?
Definitions of shudras and brahmins cannot be twisted around
for our convenience.
