A significant number of trads are supporting Prashant Kishore’s suggestion that Brahmins should align with Muslims. The reasoning appears logical at first glance: the Hindutva project of the BJP has not only left Brahmins alone (and isolated) but has also created conditions that could potentially lead to large-scale violence against them. The same concern extends to us (Banias), who largely follow the lead of Brahmins. A Muslim–Brahmin coalition, however, is a non-starter and a fundamentally weak alliance that can never develop genuine ground-level resonance. Historically, Muslims have targeted Brahmins and have frequently aligned with leftist forces to promote a version of Hinduism stripped of parampara and of Brahminical presence. In my view, the only allies Brahmins and Banias can and should seek are the Kshatriyas. No other group is relevant. This struggle cannot be waged through numbers. We must think beyond democracy and look toward Rajtantra. If Kshatriyas appear weak today, it is only because we continue to assess everything through the lens of numerical strength. When politics is judged by the standards of bravery, ability, and loyalty, no other group qualifies to rule and to establish a just order free from the economic and other injustices that we have come to accept as inevitable in the modern setup.
