 THE EMERGENCE OF NEO-KSHATRIYAS
In all South Indian villages (this may be true of North India too), the Kshatriya caste which handled the institution of state power has become dormant and a neo-Kshatriya force from the 'Sudra upper' castes have began to emerge.
Classical Kshatriyas continued to operate with the principle of divine patriarchy and extended its structures to political power, martial arts, administration and adjudication.
In the past, brahminical forces averted such revolutions by co-opting the Kshatriyas who were also part of the Sudra (the term 'Dalitbahujan' was unknown then) revoltuions—the Jain and Buddhist revolutions are well known—and hence the change was delayed for centuries.

The Kshatriya of India today, its social and political leaders, require a similar dharmic purification, perhaps not a Kurukshetra in the literal sense but a purification from false values and egoistic practices that are rampant everywhere.
