 Phule claimed that brahmans were Aryan invaders who came from Iran, invaded India, conquered and slaughtered the "Kshatriya" forefathers of the Shudras, enslaved the remaining population, and then used scripture, law, and custom to conceal their crimes.The Samaj argues that Brahman dominance is not an inherent trait; rather, the "varnas" were manufactured in a strategic move meant to establish and protect Brahman social standing.The artificial origins of the system gave low caste communities the right to contest it at the time.
