It is impossible to argue like this. Evidence, please?
Also, did you say "landlord"? So, you have no idea if it is Brahmin at all?
Also, is it possible that this allegation was borrowed from a similar situation in European feudal culture: Droit de seigneur?

As I said earlier, I do not have that booklet which comes with the Sunday edition of 'Eenadu' daily in Telugu.With the extensive network the members of this forum are likely to have, you may find out that edition by sorting out Sunday editions that have come after the date of Lakshmanpur Bate massacre.(from any old library or from anywhere else).
And as for as 'the resurgent Brahmin' article is concerned, you can check that out
by sorting 'The Week' editions right from 2000 onwards until the next 2 or 3 years.
As far as 'droit de signeur' is concerned, it existed during late Satanvahana period
in Andhra.(written in Kamasutra)May be those Satavahanas got that idea from the Romans with whom they traded extensively.Who knows?Zero was known to both Hindus and Mayans .Does not mean we can say conclusively Mayans knew it from Hindus or vice versa.Both could have got that idea independantly.
