  1. Brahman were not rulers. Their job was to maintain rule of law. Make sure, kings are ruling properly. Today, what job is done by Supreme Courts and Election Commission, similar job was performed by brahmans in the feudal age. Somebody had to be there to oppose kings, if they were becoming fascist. This is why every Puranic story is talking about, defeating tyrannical kings. If there was no brahman to act as arbitrator in society, them everyone would try to overthrow the king and make their own rules. And this would cause kings to become fascist and rule with an iron hand. By creating rule of law, brahman ensured kings ruled for the subjects, and not for their whims and fancies. And even if the beauty is, even if tyrant happens to be born in brahman family like Ravana, he is defeated by Rama who rules according to law, for the people. When Nandas were misruling Magadha, a brahman named Chanakya, trained a shudra Chandragupta Maurya, to overthrow them. Yes, inequality was there. But in every civilization, there was inequality. Era of Catholic church in Europe, too saw inequality in Europe. Atmost, we can agree that, brahman should not have got too much land grants. And that varna should have been flexible, and people at large should have been inducted into this varna. But brahman were playing an essential function in society. In the age of democracy, people have forgotten this.
