It started when the classic Snake and Brahmin phrase was uttered last November.
‘If a Brahmin and snake are seen together, the Brahmin must be killed first!’
Ever since that, snakes are seeking company of Brahmins in various parts of Tamil Nadu. They have been actively ignoring their snake mounds and are seeking the presence of Brahmins, often startling people in their home.
“It is yet another Aryan conspiracy” said Mr. T. Chudaroli, President of the D.D.M.P.P.K party, “Ever since these fellows entered India through the Khyber Pass, it has been one thing after the other”, “They took our land, they took our language, they took our jobs, and now they are even taking our snakes”. “This conspiracy of facist Brahmins must be exposed”.
“It shows the advancement of Tamil Nadu I.T over Karnataka and Andhra”, said one TamilRulz, in a comment to a news item in rediff.com. “It is only because Chennai has the best internet connections and wi-fi everywhere, even snakes can read the internet and figure out what to do”. “You don’t see snakes in Hyderabad do this, Chennai is the best”.
“Punnakku” – summarized Echumi Patti, 85, when we interviewed her in her son’s flat in West Mambalam. “It is all in the Sambar. Only we make authentic arachu-vitta sambar. When I lived in Tediyur Agraharam, every time I did arachu-vitta sambar, every dog, cat and snake would pay a visit”.
“My mother is one hundred and fifty percent correct” said Mr. N.Mahalingam. “No one makes Arachu-vitta sambar like us.” “The only other place they make this sambar is in Komala Vilas in California”. “You know my son, M. Narayanan is a Senior Deputy Manager at a big insurance company there. He is a very smart fellow. He is so smart that the U.S Government gave him the Green Card before every one else. In fact, last year, the Americans let him buy a very big bungalow without having to put any money of his own. Imagine that. That fellow is very brilliant I say. He even got a very good bonus last month”.
This unique snake problem is not isolated to Tamil Nadu, some snakes even followed students to B.I.T.S Pilani when they started their school after December break. Not every one is happy about the snake situation. Mr. P. Karthik, a first year student doing B.E said “These snakes are so stupid. There is no reason why they are all hanging around that stupid fellow Varadan’s room. He only got 1189 in his +2 exams. I got 1193. I was state rank number 7. I am the topper”.
All effort to get the opinion of the snakes have been failures, unfortunately.
