Well breaking the rules in a usually oppressive society is to be expected.

- Vedic to pre-Islamic era - get oppressed by rajas and brahmins based on caste.

- Sultanate and Mughal era - get oppressed by Mughals, Afghans, Turkomans, Persians, etc.

- Colonial era - get oppressed by the British and their English-educated/paid lackeys

- Modern era - get oppressed by police and Sarkari government babus

Oppressing other peoples seems to be a part of Indian society, so any reversal of the roles should always be celebrated imo.
