As expected. #Periyar #Dravidian is spreading in Bangalore see the coverage in Tamil media on Chetan Kumar (some kannadiga actor) 
You can already see the premises are being set up
observe this:
"எல்லோரும் சமமாக பிறந்தாலும்.. பிராமணர்கள் மட்டுமே உயர்ந்தவர்கள் மற்றவர்கள் அனைவரும் தீண்டத்தகாதவர்கள் என்று சொல்வது மிக பெரிய முட்டாள்தனம்.. இது ஒரு புரளி ஏமாற்று ""

Let me explain> The strategy here is to construct a conception of a "Non-Brahmin" in Karnataka and use the same strategy of canards and defamations against the Kannada Brahmin as they did in Tamil to secure this "split"
The tamil attributed to Periyar EVT I tweeted translates to "even though all are born equal , to treat only the brahmin as superior and *ALL OTHERS* as untouchables is foolish. It is a rumor and cheating"
I concur, it is the scam of the millennium.

Now you can see the early stages : consolidating all others as a "Untouchable" and then training the guns on KA Brahmins as the cause of that . Exactly what happened with the "all Tamils are sons of concubines.." This is the foundation.
In general decent people do not want to confront this type of targeted hate ; so the non-Brahmin gentry they will offer an olive branch --> we arent talking about you, in fact you will be the big winners here.
most will make peace , but that means handing over political power.

Can this model be replicated in Karnataka? I am skeptical because a) it is coming too late. the foundation material in form of mass pamplets and material arent there. b) the major KA castes are institutionally strong - vokkaligas/lingayats.. c) inherent decency & decorum.
But what I learnt it : given the right conditions a 'sartrean raising the temperature against a target out-group' can result in consolidation of the in-group. this is what happened in TN 2019 and 2021.. the campaign rode on saturation #AntiBrahmin agitprop.
Hence I have learnt that pristine societies may not have been 'tested' with this type of stressor. Will they show anti-fragile response? we have to see, but it will be tried. It is shown to be a winning strategy. Many of the immigres bring this with them to other societies
