In north India, brahmins handed out Dwija status to many castes

In Assam, the Ahoms are recent invaders from Thailand , and the brahmins quickly gave them dwija status and assimilated them
The white huns who invaded india in 500AD, were assimilated and given dwija status by the brahmins within 150 years

I guess it was sheer stupidity of the tamil brahmin in not creating a sizable 25% dwija class among the tamil castes
