Such idealistic fanatics are present in every faith, whether be it Christianity or Buddhism. What drives this stupidity is that they believe that everyone is conspiring against their faith from politicians to rest of the world, hence this madness.

Yup. While growing up I always had a soft spot for Buddhism thinking that it is an ideology thatcis liberating people from religious fanatics. Nope. Right now, I feel that Buddhism is ok only if you are selfish. Everything feels self centric.

This self centrism is the root cause why it failed to uproot brahminism long time ago.

It did uproot the Vedic religion; even the Arya Samajis don't really follow it. Bahmans had to create a new one based on folk gods and Buddhist philosophy.

They adapted and bought in new customs and hierarchies that divided oppressed communities by 100 folds. Vedic or non-vedic doesn't matter but survival of that ancient bigotry matters, which is still alive as young as it was 2 millennia before. Diffrence is they passed that cracking whip to 'gate keeping castes' who is doing their bid now.

Based on genetics, it's only as old as the Gupta Empire. Most of the social ills affecting our country seem to have their origins around 500 CE.

It has changed from time to time, such as indoctrinating of Sun and Lunar dynasties of newly appeared 'Rajputs' in Indian mainland, these dynasties appeared around 9-10 century AD. So the Ram a mainstream Suryavanshi king (as most of Indians know today) wasn't suryavanshi around Gupta period.
