One more point.
I mentioned in the "History of Bengal" thread how the Bengali Brahmanas were foolish not to create a Kshatriya class to defend Aryan rule in Bengal.
The same thing applies in Tamil Nadu. The stupid Tamil Brahmana sat on his rear end not doing anything for centuries until the situation became desparate. They didn't even bother to take a census to find out what percentage they were of the population until the British came in!
Compare this with the Nepali Brahmanas who had the brain to create a large Kshatriya caste who form 16% of the population. Brahmanas form around 12%.
So this 28% dominant upper caste cannot be pushed around very easily.
