Brahmins make fake stories about their ooga boga tribal gods and made them avatars of different puranic gods. Like murugan have nothing to do with Shiva but pongas made stories

No south india only has brahmins, sat shudras and asat shudras. No kshatriyas and vaishyas in varna terms. Bengal has bhadralok(brahmins, kayastha, baidyas). No kshatriya or vaishya varna ritually speaking.

But southies landholding castes like nairs, bunts, kamma, vellalars etc. were warriors and lords and patronised brahmins. Why did they not bother sanskritising into kshatriyas like rajput peasants in north did?

Kanglus aren't known for fighting or high IQ trade so it tracks. But southie abbo (btw i am a nigger)s have had great kingdoms and great fighters, pongas must be late to take them into Bhrahmanical fold

Any examples of cultural difference? South brahmins historically practiced cousin marriage like dravidians. They themselves are sanskritised dravid priests.
