Brahmins Demand Formalized Court Positions

Brahmins often aspire to worldly power as well as mere spiritual authority. They have become highly influential of late in our nation, and many important positions in the administration are now held by Brahmins. Having become comfortable in their grand appointments, these Brahmins have approached the our ruler with a series of demands. They require that certain administrative posts be entrusted to the Brahmins by law, that Brahmin customs become mandatory at court, and even that several of the highest ministerial offices be held by Brahmin families in heredity. Outrageous as these demands are, the influence of the Brahmins is such that refusing could seriously hinder our ability to govern.
