I may be mistaken....its just my assumption. My grandfathers village has a brahmin priest who conducts rituals at my gps home....Also my grandafther built a temple beside his house(not village diety)......there used to be a guardian diety(village diety beside farm ) specific to a clan. All they do is cut the goat and celebrate with alchohol  and kallu

All mumbo jumbo mixing rituals ...

lol...

as far as I know clan deities are set up by the clan. some among the clan act as priests, and so on.

so is this brahmin person who conducts rituals in the clan deity's temple, a savarna brahmin? He lives in the brahmin special colony and still officiates cutting of goat and consumption of alcohol? He's probably someone who considers himself as brahmin class among your gps clan.

Hinduism has appropriated a lot of local deities, woven stories  to include them in Hindu mythology.

so i won't be surprised if a brahmin person conducts rituals in such temples, but cutting goats is not something brahmins would include in a ritual. But then Bengali brahmins eat fish and meat. so what do I know.

Indian social structure is too complicated to categorize easily.

so are you saying that this priest person is taking your clan for a ride by not sticking to the 'spirits' part of the deity, and trying to weave a narrative that connects your deity to some Hindu myth?

its normal in India. Hinduism has completely washed over the place.

but this hinduization is actually globalizes your clan, right? may be your gps clan knowingly walked into such an arrangement with the Hindus.

oh. I think you have it backwards.

It was your gps clan that set up the deities, and it was the brahmins who cleaned up the mess with a mythical narrative around your deity, so you can feel part of a bigger community.

they act like a fcuking cult. Their religion's influences are even deeper among their several castes and tribes than are Hindu's. Its suffocating to be a sikh.
