Aristocracy is France was around 10%. There are plenty of upper caste Indians (around 18% to 30% total depending on how you count it) who benefit from this societal structure.

Ok. The original comment said Brahmins are oppressing the Dalits.

What has this got to do with the French? ‘Upper classes’ are not all aristocracy. I think you are confused.

I’m not confused, thanks. I’m saying a small population can easily oppress a larger population, especially with consent and cooperation from other populations.

Numbers from here or wikipedia https://www.statista.com/statistics/1001016/india-population...

Entirely irrelevant here.

Unless you are stating that Dalits are a larger number than a smaller population of Brahmins.

And that the latter is oppressing the former?

In which case: source?

Thanks.

You’re just saying random things in an aggressive manner without making any sense.

No. I am merely asking for the source of pretty specific numbers.

Once again: source?

So what is it - 6% or 30%? And where's the source?
