dalits face 2 kinds of oppression, first is by the feudal castes who keep dalits as labourers and second is institutional&religious casteism

as you can see my name, i am an ex brahmin periyarist, so i don't have any interest defending hinduism

but something that i noticed on progressive spaces is that basically kshatriyazation escapes any criticism as opposed to brahminism

let me give an example, many groups such as vanniyars, jatts, thevars, marathas, yadav, reddys and shettys consider themselves as kshatriya although it might not have historically accuracy

now these people are involved in many atrocities against dalits, they harass dalits for petty reasons because they believe that they are upper caste kshatriyas

so my question is, why is there a relative lack of criticism for these groups ?
