Firstly, becoming "Brahmin" is no attractive proposition as people seem to think, if that you mean one who does priestly work then forget about it, priests get paid a pittance and no one wants to be in their position, if you mean just taking up the label Brahmin socially once again that's no advantage, what you will get is slapped with reservations and no acceptance from other castes and last of all do we know that "Dalits" desire to leave behind their caste?
Next this entire OBC business is mostly nonsense, it's a cover for powerful caste groups to grab reservations and also prevent genuinely disadvantaged groups from getting anything, most of the OBC castes are by no means backward and quite dominant and often happen to be the one's who regularly clash with "Dalits".
