Importantly when Aryavarta is occupied or under threat from dasyus and mlechChas, it is incumbent on the brAhmaNa to himself take up arms and destroy the enemies of dharma. Thus medhatithi has said in his commentary on the great mAnava dharma shAstra. No way is it said in the shAstras that the brahmin should not wield weapons under such circumstances. Since Moslems and dasyus are indeed occupying Aryavarta today the brAhmaNas themselves need to get aggressive.
