Dear Pritesh,
First accept my humble pranams..
Your Question is quite amazing.... As in deed we are not followers of these Doggy Politicians like Karunanithi.... We are followers of Sri Ramanuja... in deed He is the Graetest revolutionirist ..... He would have thought 1000000s of time better then us in giving equal rights to all communities .... If it is correct to make all communites as priests..., He would have done this many many centuries earlier... As I feel it is not right to think of our own in these issuses and it is indeed it is our duty to follow our elders who are 10000s times greater than us...
It is never said that there is any oppose to other communities in Praying Sri Vishnu... Any body can pray him wether he belongs to any caste... any Body can See him... Let these people indulge them selves in praying and worshipping Him sincerely that is enough
instead of fighting for the "rights" to enter in to temples as priests...
If every bodyh does their duty.., it is the only way by which Paramatma gets happy as He Himself has told in Srimadh bagavadh Gita( 18th chapter)
And every body has their own duty..
He has also told that " If a persons duty which is made for himself will give him even doshas... it is far far better to do his own duty insteasd of doing 1000 times better the duty of others very perfectly..(bagavadh gita)
So Instead of thinking of others duties if every body atleast try to do their own duty.. it is the best way to express our thanks not only to Sri Krishna, but to our Dear Emperumanar also...
Sorry If I had hurted anyone,
Adiyen
Ramanuja Dasan,
Gopala Sarman

[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.

of politicians we are afraid to fight on this issue, wonder if any one will
dare to bring in similar law in other religions like Muslims,
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.
