sri:

[PS: Please address this objectively for an outsider]

Why are their objections to Non-brahmins from becoming priests???

What is it that priests do, and which part of the work cannot be done
by others except brahmins. Please reply with specific duties.

It is indeed shameful that inspite of India being a hindu country, because

christians etc.
I donot intend to bring this with kind of argument but, my concern is what
happens to varnashrama darma .

And what ultimately can be acheived on this.
