3/3 Increasingly clear that "Dalit" anti-"Brahminism" "caste atrocity" propagandists & the new, strange uber-"trad" steppe Brahmin-supremacist edgelords that have arisen on SM the last 4 years are both batting for the same team.
Both backstab #Sanskritization & #GharWapasi.

#Srinivas coined the term #sanskritization in the late 1940s and early 1950s while researching the Coorgs of South India. #Sankritization was used as a way to explain how certain groups like the Lingayats of Karnataka had move up in a caste structure that was supposed to be fixed
The main idea behind #sanskritization is that lower castes groups imitate and adopt Sanskritic culture and values. Along with economic and political power, eventually, #sanskritization would translate into ritual power too. This would make lower caste groups to move up socially
