Anti-Brahmanism is hostility toward or prejudice against Brahmins, often as a result of historical injustices permeated by the Hindu system of caste and varna, which had Brahmins at the helm. Anti-Brahmin tensions exist in some of the states in India. There is also a significant amount of literature which is anti-Brahmin.
Anti-Brahminism is often encountered in these regions:
- Kashmir: Kashmiri Pandit see Terrorism in Kashmir. Most Kashmiri Pandits have fled Kashmir.
- Maharashtra: Maharashtrian Konkanastha Brahmins. The anti-Brahmin Sambhaji Brigade attacked the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute in Jan. 2004.
- Tamil Nadu: Iyers. Tamilnadu is home to one of the oldest anti-Brahmin Dravidar Kazhagam movement.
