the outward violence could b addressed once we come to know the resentment or reasons. but the slow poisoning of minds and culture, governance and society is what RSS and its parivar does. which are more heinous than anything else. and difficult to know and tackle.
the oppression need not be direct, as murali argues. the framework of caste built by brahmins is the justification for the oppression by others who are forced to b in it. thus an obc, will oppress the one below since he is oppressed by the higher caste. it need be physical violence or killings. the brahmins and people of power knows better ways.
