Brahmins and muslims.

  •  Both are identities used by people across the socio-economic strata.
  • At some point of time one of the ruling classes of India identified with one of these identities.
  • Not every Brahmin or Muslim was the ruling class, Many were extremely poor.
  • The current ruling class of India no longer identifies with these identities.
  • Atrocities were inflicted by the ruling classes on the depressed classes.
  • There are still some people with these identities who justify these atrocities.
  • The vast majority just want to lead a normal life as citizens of this country.
  • Some sections want to oppress these communities because of the historic wrongs done by their ancestors( and justified by a section of current practitioners)
