And they used that knowledge to control rest of the population.Exactly. The one who had the knowledge was the Brahmins. Not the other way around.
Full Bull Shyte!The point of discussion is how and when the system got corrupted. There are plenty of examples in Kerala (since it was untouched by violent islamic invasion) where dalits became as knowledgeable as the Brahmins and rejected the supremacy of the Namboodris. They started their own temple and had their own priests.
You really should take your nose out of some fantasy comic books you have been readong. Please to be reading some good informative texts. You dont even know what you are talking about.
Namboodris became powerful in and around 10-11 AD. Well AFTER the Islamic invasion. So how does your theory fit in with the time line? Please show us some reports which say that "Dalits" in Kerala rejected "Brahmin" supremacy.
And FYI, the first Christian converts (IIRC, Syrian Orthodox) in Kerala were actually "high class" Brahmins, not the "low caste" Dalits. A little research would do you much good.
Lol. YOu just contradict yourself and then ask inane rhetorical questions - and expect others to answer that for you. You really are a funny little man.The division of power was well established in Hinduism.
1. The Brahmins got to have knowledge, but was devoid of land, wealth and arms.
2. The kshatriyas got to have arms, but was denied knowledge outside his domain, land and wealth.
3. The Vaishya got to have wealth, but was denied knowledge outside his domain, land and arms.
4. The Shdra got to have land and cows, but was denied denied knowledge outside his domain, arms and wealth.
The question is when did this change ? that is the million dollar question.
Do you wear a tin-foil hat?
