The brahmin false narrative that everyone had equal opportunities But only brahmins used it to migrate to USA is a false at many levels. I will explain the reason here. 1/n
Historically indian society was divided into castes and every caste has some work assigned to them. All the castes which involved in production like pottery weaving husbandry had no direct contact with the kings. 2/n
For that matter they are least bothered about the king or dynasty which rules them. It was very few castes which has direct access to the kings. And the most important among them is brahmins. It was god Vedas and temples which controlled every activity of a king. 3/n
Even after change in dynasty nothing will happen to the brahmins because the Vedas prohibits kings from punishing/ killing brahmins. So when a king wins a battle and takes over an empire he will not do anything to brahmins.4/n
Instead he will donate more gold and land to the temple to get the blessings of the brahmins. And hence brahmins who never involved in any production was always protected by the king. 5/n
Even in the south when Brahmins killed Raja raja cholan's elder brother they were not persecuted but was asked to leave Chola empire and they left to chera ruled area and again started their priestly job there. Do whoever rules they escaped without any persecution. 7/n
They were always close with the kings and the administration , so when a new king comes he wants them to rule the country. They same happened with the British also. When they came the power shifted from mughals nawabs and other princely states to British. 8/n
The capitals of kingdoms shifted from delhi to kolkata , madurai to madras , pune to Mumbai and the brahmins also moved towards these places so that they will be part of the new rulers. Even the rulers wanted them because they didn't understand anything about the society. 9/n
So brahmins who called themselves as the saviours of sanatana dharma and barathavrda came forward to help the new rulers. The english ruled the entire world. The empire controlled everything from London. So many moved to london. 10/n
Just take the number of people who traveled to Europe during the colonial times or at the end of 19th century. It was all brahmins. And with America becoming a new super power many moved to USA. 11/n
So all other caste historically had few opportunities to study but none were allowed to move close to the kings and the administrators. BRAHMINS with the help of caste always stayed close to kings and usurped everything. 12/12.
