Political scientist Prof AK Verma, who heads the Centre for the Study of Society and Politics, Kanpur, says Mayawati’s wooing of Brahmins has led to their homogenisation, to a degree. [82], The Brahmins were also consulted in the transmission, development and maintenance of law and justice system outside India. ऊरू तद् अस्य यद् वैश्यः पद्भ्यां शूद्रो अजायत॥१२॥ These small measures alienated upper castes, especially Brahmins, who found it important to put their weight behind the Samajwadi Party to make sure there was no ambiguity about Mayawati losing. [49], Eric Bellman states that during the Islamic Mughal Empire era Brahmins served as advisers to the Mughals, later to the British Raj. [69][70][71], Many 18th and 19th century Brahmins are credited with religious movements that criticised idolatry. In the 2002 Assembly elections, the BSP had secured just 4.8% of the entire upper caste votes, suggesting the impact of incremental gains. This is because the Brahmin knows he can no longer hope to become king.
In the 2009 general elections, alarmed at the prospect of a Dalit becoming prime minister, Brahmins decided to support the Congress. This belief was further reinforced as India’s first three prime ministers were all Brahmins from UP. There is intense rivalry among them, dating back centuries.
