POOR BRAHMINS
It is amazing to see that how fiction can become truth in course of time!
Let's examine truth based on facts & real history.
To start with, there is not a SINGLE Brahmin God in Hinduism
All Gods are 4m backward castes,dalits & tribals.

Brahmins never created the concept of Gods in Hinduism.
There was not even a SINGLE Brahmin king that ruled India.
To be able to oppress others requires positions of power. Brahmins were teachers, scholars, priests, advisors but not rulers.

The Brahmins' traditional occupation was that of temple priest (purohit), officiating religious functions. Their sole income was _biksha_ (alms) given by the landlords (non-Brahmins).
Another section of Brahmins were teachers, that too without salary.

Vedic literature was mostly written by non-Brahmins. The most powerful of the dharma shaastra, that gives Brahmins a high status, is the Manusmriti written by Manu, a non-Brahmin. Brahmin means a profession (Varna) - not a caste.

If the reading & writing of Sanskrit was confined 2 Brahmins,then how do you have the tribal Valmiki composing Ramayana? Ved Vyas,who classified 4 Vedas & wrote Mahabharata,was born to a fisherwoman.
Sanskrit was used mostly by non-Brahmin writers - there are very few scriptures

We consider the teachings of Ved Vyas, Vashishta, Valmiki, Krishna, Rama, Agasthya, Vishwamitra, Shrunga, Gowtama, Buddha, Mahavira, Tulsidas, Thiruvalluvar, Kabir, Vivekananda, Gandhi, Narayana guru etc. as most valuable.

If none of them were Brahmins, why cry out loudly that "Brahmins did not allow you to learn?" There are numerous works on bhakti by non-Brahmin bhakti saints.
Brahmins never prevented others from learning.

Brahmins were neither rich nor powerful at any point of time in history. Pick up any old Indian story book, you will see _gharib_ Brahminโ(Poor Brahmin) quoted as a virtue.(Remember Sudama-Krishna story?)
Though their profession was considered as highest stature of the society, the Brahmin ascetics' only way of survival was alms given by people.
The biggest contribution of Brahmins is sustaining the best language ever spoken in the earth - Sanskrit.

Nobody ever promoted Sanskrit.
Without any benefits, Brahmins took up voluntary task of learning Sanskrit. Now you accuse them of monopoly in Sanskrit!
Besides, Brahmins were not Kings. They didn't enjoy powers or had wealth. They worked hard on gaining knowledge and led life

Besides, Brahmins were not Kings. They didn't enjoy powers or had wealth. They worked hard on gaining knowledge and led life
of austerity. So there is no question of exploitation by Brahmins.
When population of Brahmins range from just 2% in Tamil Nadu to 12% in Uttarakhand, how can they dominate the majority?
After reading all this can anyone blame Brahmins?

Exceptions were there.
Brahmins established kingdoms by becoming fighters. They were known as brahma- kshatriyas.
Kadambas were brahmins.
Peshvas were brahmins.
Parasuram the brahmin fought against kshatriyas as per puranas.
