In Maharashtra the Kshatreeya Maratha caste has played intelligent politics for the
last 50 years by venting out all the peoples anger on the absulute minority
Maharashtrian Brahmins, who are less than 2 1/2 % or 2.5 % of the population.
The Brahmins are nowhere in government , in politics or in judiciary in Maharashtra,
and the Marathas by making the Brahmins scapegoats have establisished their own absulute hegemony on the Politics, Police, Admistration, Government, Judiciary, Coperative sector, cash crop farming and water resources.
Now the Marathas which is the primary support base both for the Sharad Pawars NCP and Bal Thakreys Shiv Sena, feels that a new class of OBC and Dalit leadership is not falling for the "Brahmins are ur foe" theory
and they seem to be getting that its the Marathas themselves who have manupulated the political
landscape to keep their own hegamony.
Hope is that the caste Maratha domination of Maharashtra will end and so will its fuedal and hegamonstic politics.

No one can defeat Marathas. Marathas are getting jobs becuase of their ability. Marathas are Great. Shri Shivaji Maharaj had several dalits, brahmin in his administration. He never differentiated people by caste.

Mayawati's welcome by a Punekar Brahmin is a good sign, but the logic behind it is incorrect, it is pervert & loaded with lies.
Politics is a moving train phenomenon. When the train stops at a station, the insiders lock the door & donot allow others to get in. Some passengers get in through windows. On next station they all pool together & prevent entry of others to the compartment!
Brahmins tatsed power for years & did not allow others a share. Tilak said why do the Marathas need to come to the Councils? Will they till land there? We are there & will take care of the concerns!
Marathas boarded the political train & removed the followers of Tilak from politics. But the Brahmins stuck to their empires like Administration, Judiciary & Corporates mostly by employing crooked means.
On the next station, the OBCs wanted to get in but the Marathas did their best to oppose them! These OBSc shifted to BJP & Shiv Sena (Both have mostly OBC leaders & OBC votes) and removed the Marathas from power!
On the next station, the Dalits are waiting to get into the train. OBCs are trying their best to oppose (read Mulayam & Yadavs). But Dalits will get in through the windows of opportunities!
Mind you the Adivasis & Minorities are waiting on the next station!
Every caste in Hinduism has feudal mentality & hence every time one feudal mentality will get replaced by another feudal mentality!
We expect the degree & scale of feudlism to go down with the advent of Mayavati!

Geez! No wonder the British realised this quickly and put up a huge railway infrastructure to keep Indians fighting to get on the train.
