I'm not much educated on the subject and hope to read more one day but a few weeks ago I found this twitter response from an associate professor of history which begs to differ with you on this.

Though Would like to add the that original brightwork article sounds like a conspiracy theory

If you read the vishnupuran there are various stories of how khastriyas (warriors) became teachers (brahmins) and vice versa. Even ashwatamma was called the son of a brahmana, his father was Drona, a Brahmin, but he was referred to as a son of a Brahmin because of his alliance with the crown prince Duryodhana and deeds he was determined more of a warrior
I think you missed a lot of time jumping from Vishnupuran to when British arrived. And are we already believing Mahabharatha to be not just a work of fiction?
