The history of "Indosphere" is all but struggle between castes since its origin, so much for the subtlety.

This "history" that you vomit out is actually not based on primary evidence, but has been shown to be a "projection" of this very obsession with power in Western academia.
Pollock for eg. is so deep down this hole that he even blames (in his Deep-Orientalism essay) Nazi genocides on them learning "power-politics" from Purva-Mimansa. Contrarily, the DharmaSastras actually prevent this very kind of elite-collusion that is characteristic of the occident, from current times all the way back to Greece.
So much for your retort (assuming this is typical for the Brown Anglo-Sahebs that man HN, who think destruction of India is the greatest gift to mankind).
Things are a lot more subtlety in broadly "Indosphere" (or atleast its old version before all the rampage of Islam and Western colonization).
