How it is morally and factually wrong to Blame Brahmins for Discrimination?

As per the Leftist Narrative, all the Caste atrocities are blamed upon the Brahmin Community. Let’s dig into the history and observe the contribution of the Brahmins towards the annihilation of Caste and Discrimination. How most of the Seers, Sages and Acharyas who fought against the evil of Casteism rose from Brahmin community.

The Mutation of Vedic Guna Based Varnaashram Vyavastha Into Caste System is not a fault of one community alone. Kshatriya lacking governence skills, Greedy Vaishya, Lazy Shudra were equally responsible. One responsible member can save an entire family from destruction. Leftist narrative is all about targeting one Caste at a time, as per the divide and rule idea. Brahmin community during medieval times stayed the closest to scriptures. Hence they were ahead in knowing it’s real essence and came forward more for destroying Caste System.

The list is very short in compiling all the Hindu Saints and Sages who worked towards annihilating the social Evils. And, here we have not even included Great lineage sages from Non-Brahmin Communities. As the article is intended to answer the leftist Narrative and not boast any Caste in Particular.
