he Khatriyas had no role in the freedom struggle. Gandhi had neglected them totally because he did not accept their credentials as nationalists. They considered themselves as heirs of the kings , as Manu Smruti had commanded that the Ruler should be from the Kshatriya caste only. They slept and slept and neglected their , take the example of Saurashtra, lands. They kept the Patyidars , working on their farms as share croppers, Ganotiyas, and relaxed at home, consuming opium in groups, gossiping with caste fellows.. They forgot to educate their children as they saw that land was there for their sustenance. Now it so happened in Bombay State when Balasaheb Kher was CM and Morarji Desai the Agriculture Minister, Morarji brought a Bill giving ownership rights to the Share Croppers ( Ganotiyas ) and in thie wake of this Act, the Kshatriya landlords lost rights over the lands and the patidars became landlords ! With the increasing competition in the society, the Kshatriya caste had no place as they lagged behind other sections of society. Today you would hardly find any Kshatriya doctors, Officers ( in Gujarat there were many Rajput Officers during my time ) in civil posts, lawyers or shop keepers. You would be lucky if you find any Rajput Industriyalist ( except
Amar Singh of UP or MP ) They are too much backward in education and incomes. They are considered part of the SavarN cCastes , but all the benifits of 50 % open categories are grabbed by the Brahmin ccaste as the Vaisyas are not interested in Govt jobs, they concentrate on being doctors, lawyers and shop keepers and industrialists . They are paying a high price of neglecting education and keeping within their fold .Though considered a forward caste, their benefits are being grabbed by the Brahmin Caste and you would find the Brahmin caste officers every where and Kshatriyas any where ! Their position in the Hindu Society is worse than the dalits economically and culturally........ In stead of agitating against Padmavati film, they should have agitated for share in the open 50 % unreserved posts in Govts.
