So Rajput are sorta landholding warrior clans and Zamindari is a type of feudalism? Am I getting it right?
The tweet .
Anybody with an attitude or opinion on caste other than "destroy the entire caste system" is automatically shit, imo.
Black Dynamite / B.R. Ambedkar : We must annihilate the caste system!
Chocolate Giddy-Up / This guy : But, Dr. Ambedkar, I've benefited from centuries of oppression!
I would love it if this site had that Emoji

:wojak-nooo: "Noo my family legacy" is always, 100 percent code for "My family owned all the eggs"
"Typically hereditary, zamindars held enormous tracts of land and control over their peasants, from whom they reserved the right to collect tax on behalf of imperial courts or for military purposes."
One of the banned traditions / sacrifices :
Sati (Prevention) Act, 1987 is a law enacted by Government of Rajasthan in 1987. It became an Act of the Parliament of India with the enactment of The Commission of Sati (Prevention) Act, 1987 in 1988. The Act seeks to prevent sati the voluntary or forced burning or burying alive of a widow, and to prohibit glorification of this action through the observance of any ceremony, participation in any procession, creation of a financial trust, construction of a temple, or any actions to commemorate or honor the memory of a widow who committed sati [1]
struggle session incoming, but most scholars agree that it was mostly voluntary (although obviously a significant minority of it would've been forced). It was also rare outside of the nobility.

Rajasthan is where it most likely started though
Nah, I knew I was being a contrarian shit. It's questionable since I'm not from the culture, but I imagine it could be viewed in a light like physician assisted suicide or something.
It's obviously from a different era, where stuff like samurai killing random peasants on the back roads existed.
Zamindar's owned land and leased it to farmers so a feudal lord basically
Yes. They were indeed a landlord and warrior caste.
I have met dozens of them in my life and only 1 of them did not exhibit toxic masculinity. I went to their wedding once and the groom was walking around with a sword.
A lot of them were rulers of tiny "kingdoms" in western parts of India. Most of these were not bigger than a few villages. Some of them wanted to be sovereign states before Sardar Patel bullied them into joining India. They were literally getting lavish amounts of money from the Indian government for doing nothing till Indira Gandhi wisely decided to cut them off. Of course, if she was actually based, she would have gone the full distance like Mao. :mao-wtf: :mao-aggro-shining: :mao-aggro-shining: :mao-aggro-shining:
there are so many casteist losers like this, whining about affirmative action not getting them jobs when it's just neoliberalism being neoliberalism. they're like white people thinking they're oppressed because segregation is (kinda) abolished.
they of course still have immense amounts of privilege and wealth.
