Look what happened in India. The brahmin were once the richest group and at the top of socio-economic ladder. Today, they are the poorest ones, at least in the state of Maharashtra. A major reason being that brahmins don't get job/education reservation or caste based scholarships as many others do.
That would be unique to Maharashtra due to Peshwa rule. Everywhere else Brahmin were mostly poor. My family is from Bihar and Brahmin caste. My grand parents lost four out of five children due to poverty. Luckily my grand Father got a job as coal miner and the families situation improved.
Nirdhan Brahmin has been a popular motif in Indian mythology and epics. Brahmins became victim of same kind of propaganda as happenings with Asians right now in SV.
Why do you believe that? Are there specific examples you're thinking of? How do you know it's too far?
