After a few years, Purohits will effectively become very scarce as there are very few sources of income for them and very few women ready to marry them.
Why is it happening? What will be the consequences?
Slow thread.

Often one does not realise how important certain groups of people are until they disappear.
The open (and undeclared) war against Hinduism takes many facets.
Some of those are above ground and out in the open.
Others more subtle. “I learnt two Vedas in few hours”

I learnt exactly how hard it is to just learn one Sukta (Pavamana) which is 500+ Riks when I was at the prime of my memory faculties... it took me 2+ years to get reasonably good.
Vedic Purohits take rigorous training for 12 years.
12 years!!

That idea that “you can learn two Vedas in a week” shows the precise amount of ignorance which underlies the mental faculties of many many people including those in power and of course Brahmins themselves (many display even higher levels of ignorance I am afraid)

Once you trivialise learning like that there is no stopping the eradication of an entire people.
Then one day, people of India Will suddenly wake up and realise “Arre no Purohits remaining now”... because people lacked mental maturity + intelligence to appreciate learning.

The other problem is that the mind takes a long time to understand that “Sound is one of the basics roots of the Universe”
That’s why listening to Vedic chants can energise you, make you feel alive and calm you down all at once.
But when nobody is left to do it, what happens?

Part of the problem is the general decline in the interest of people in dedicating themselves to something which requires decades.
I want it now... I wanted it yesterday!
Instant gratification.... no waiting and no patience.
Learning requires patience.
