Re: KunjRe Qasai
I agree with you to a certain extent. The biggest oppressors of Dalits in the contemporary times are so called Kshatriyas [Thakurs] and Shoodras who are often confused with Dalits, even on this forum]. The caricature of evil plotting Brahmin was created by Periyaar and others of his ilk along with his Muslim allies to further their political ambitions.
However it is also true that the progenitors of rigid varna system were Brahmins. Once their ideas had taken complete hold of the Indic societies and they had established complete hegemony over education at the apex of Indian social pyramid, they had no need to go around oppressing individual Dalits.
