Brahmann ji: If your intentions are to champion the Brahmins by typecasting the other castes into "ones who have no culture of learning.......etc." you are not doing the Brahmins a favor either by giving questionable arguments. You are an embarrassment! Would you agree, since ancient times, the Brahmins and the Chettris have always been privileged? When you have a group of people who are consequently underprivileged in one society, the underprivileged take on the meaning of "the oppressed". It is not about how much you study or your other Brahmin friends study. "You" or a handful of people cannot represent a group of people. When you refer to agroup of people as a whole, you have to be mindful of the socio-economic, socio-cultural backgrounds of all those you are comparing. For such a discussion, you might want to delve a little deeper than such blanketed statements and research some social stats /facts regarding the status of castes: the underprivileged as well as the privileged according to the holy scripts, the socio cultural traditions, behavior and practice. And then only place the castes you refe tor (as well as Brahmin and Chettri) to in their proper place based on the above evidence. If you are willing go beyond your small window of opinions then only, can you have a valid discussion.
