This essay examines the deeper assumptions behind a provocative anti-caste claim that caste will end only when oppressed communities can marry Brahmin women. Drawing on Frantz Fanon’s analysis of colonial psychology, it argues that such rhetoric often preserves the very hierarchy it seeks to destroy. The article also critiques the reduction of caste to endogamy, exposing conceptual contradictions in modern anti-caste discourse. Finally, it warns against the dehumanization hidden within symbolic “conquest” narratives, where individuals are reduced to tokens in ideological struggles. Ultimately, the essay calls for a more rigorous understanding of caste, equality, and human dignity beyond the language of resentment and inversion.
