Question

2. Why did the Brahmin become so poor?​

Answer 1

Answer:

I think this holds true to most Brahmin landlord communities across the country (like the Tyagi Brahmins of UP, and Anavil Brahmins of Gujarat and others)and even non landlord Brahmin communities.

But the Brahmin (also known as Niyogi Brahmins) zamindars (landlords) of Andhra and Telangana were pretty rich. In the past.

My paternal side of the family, once owned 2,000 acres in the Telangana region divided amongst four brothers. They owned much of that land from the 13th century. They were the only Brahmin zamindar family in the village, and lead a pretty opulent lifestyle. They got into politics during the fight for independence movement, and spent most of their wealth for the freedom movement. Soon after the Independence movement, and till land reforms. They were feudal landlords of the region, and were fondly called “Dora” (landlord sir title in Telangana)

Answer 2

Answer:

“The study also found that 55 per cent of all Brahmins lived below the poverty line -- below a per capita income of Rs 650 a month,” adding there is no reason to believe that the condition of Brahmins in other parts of the country is different.

The Union of India did not exist before 1947, the union was a collection of more than 550 princely states and many thousands, if not lakhs, of smaller estates, owned by hereditary landowners who collected revenue and if Brahmin, rarely paid rent and taxes.

Looking at a few cities in all regions of India, we see a distinct pattern in their mode of living and their evolution as the most powerful and highly affluent caste. The Brahmins were concentrated on the wet river valleys across the sub-continent because of the prosperity of such belts due to abundant agrarian production and wealth, there were practically none in the dry zone villages. They got into ‘alliances’ with the traders and the other rich agricultural castes, in a policy of accommodation with the political elites.
