Bajwa, while you have all the rights to be proud of the Sikh resistance, be careful about making loose statements like above. You must back them up with proper studies rather than simple anecdotes. It is OK to use such ad hoc arguments in casual speech, but its is a rather serious issue when you use them to impute the defeat of the Hindus to caste system or brahmins and rajputs. In this regard you appear to be merely parroting what many non-Hindu and leftist authors have said, without much questioning. I fear that you have not read manu or other dharmashAstras from your statements.
