TN group to put sacred thread on pigs to protest Brahminism
A Tamil Nadu group will be holding a protest against Brahminism on August 7 by making pigs wear poonool, the sacred thread worn by Brahmins. The protest has been scheduled for Avani Avittam, the day when Brahmins change their poonal in an annual ceremony. It is aimed at countering efforts to suppress the lower castes, one of the organisers said.
