THE EMERGENCE OF NEO-KSHATRIYAS |
 | | By and large the Baniyas operate only within the domain of the market, but the extraction of surplus in the market is closely related to these power structures. |
 | | From the villageinstitutions of patel and patwari to tehesil offices, collectorates, state and central secretariates; from gram panchayats to municipalities, zilla parishads to state legislatures and the central Parliament, each institution was made the preserve of the 'upper' caste forces, with Brahmins being in the lead in many of these institutions. |
 | | Ambedkar's political decision, not to join any party that was headed by a Brahmin, a Baniya or a neo-Kshatriya, and his attempt to create his own political and organic intellectual force to bring about an anti-caste revolution, shook the foundation of Hinduism. |
