Have you ever met or seen any Brahmins till date ?

Yes. They like their privilege.

You would’ve been right if Brahmins indeed were supremacistic and gathered immense political and economic power just for themselves. Factual truth remains not to be that case.

If you visit India and spend some time over there, you would understand that Brahmins are mostly poor and except barring the badlands of Bihar, they are not very supremacistic people (on account of mostly being either poor or middle class). Currently, there is not a single state which is being ruled by Brahmins and the trend of “democracy empowering lower castes” is only bound to increase the chances of people of lower castes always staying in power.

A recent confirmation of this statement has been displayed in the way Brahmin people overwhelmingly voted for the dalit lady -Mayawati- in the local election because she promised to champion the cause of “poor people”.

On the other hand, Sikhs are a very affluent minority, who are in a much better position in India than Brahmins or Christians or Dalits.
