Brahmins against KarmakandaMany people in India do not know that the revolt against
Karkamanda and the dominance of Brahmins was also led by Brahmins many times.
Some historically undisputed instances are:
Lingayata of KarnatakaIt was a reform movement started by Basavanna of 12th century
and he was a Brahmin himself. Lingayats reject the Vedas and focussed on Agamas
specifically on Hindu Agamas of Shavism.
Chaitanya movementMuch greater was the movement of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, himself
a Brahmin who released a torrential flow of Bhakti making available the mantra of
Kalisantaran Upanishad to all castes, all sexes and all religions.
Dayananda SaraswatiDayanand Saraswati, a Gujarati Brahmin made the Vedas and
Gayatri available to all castes and even women and was the first great man who talked
of the equality of women long before the west talked of it.
