When Bihar was part of Bengal, the service and political class was dominated by Muslims and Kayasthas. Both groups had access to power for generations. While the former has been ruling class due to which they were the part of elites, Kayasthas among Hindus learned Urdus.. due to which they have been part of administrative class even during medieval India.

Moplah riot didn't start in 1921!

William Logan’s Malabar Manual on Moplah -- In March 1789, a Mysorean force of 19000 men with 46 field-pieces, surrounded 2000 Nayars with their families in an old fort at Kuttipuram. Forcing them to convert to Islam on the most brutal terms! Tipu had made repeated vows to honour the whole of the people of Malabar with Islam and would have carried out the vow, and Malabar would have been a Moslem country, but for the treaty dated 18th March 1792, under which Tipu was forced to yield Malabar to the East India Company.

All Sikh Gurus came from one caste - Khatri and largely their children also married within their own community.

If it was so egalitarian then why this? SCs were barred from Golden Temple

The Mazhabis (SC) were forbidden to enter the Golden Temple for worship; their offering of karah prasad was not accepted and the Sikhs denied them access to public wells and other utilities.

अगर नही होता हिंदुत्व तो काशी आज भी अजीमाबाद होती।

When Aurangzeb was informed by his spies that despite his dictum prohibiting all Hindu teaching and learning, Hindus continued to go to Banaras for education. He issued another order on 18 April 1669 to the governors to destroy all Hindu schools and temples.

After Aurangzeb came to know that Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj had taken refuge in Banaras in 1666.
