Pranam Brahmanism, thus, was an excuse. One can understand the nature of anti-Brahmanism in Tamil Nadu — which Naipaul says was a movement of the middle castes, and not all non-Brahmin castes — from the fact that it offered no protection to lower castes. In fact, some of the most brutal attacks on the Scheduled Castes took place post-1967 during the DMK regime. In 1969, for instance, 40 Harijans were burnt alive by Thevars, a powerful middle caste. A similar pattern can be seen in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar where Dalits often find themselves at the receiving end of Yadavs’ fury. answered to YM KR IRS
