19.He again proclaimed chathurvarna system into the society around india

20. He made chathurvarna as a social civil code (LAW)

21. According to the chathurvarna again brahmins are introduced into every worship places as superior beings based on birth.

22. During his tyrannic reign Buddhists monks were brutally murdered and buddhist's religious structures were demolished unscrupulously

23. Then brahmins started to remodel the statues of Buddha into perumal/Vishnu

24. The tirupati temple, lord ayyapa temple,sri rangam ranganatha temples are the classical examples.

25. Govt of Kerala officially accepted that ayyapa temple was historically a buddhist temple in supreme court.

26. The reclined buddha statue in srirengam was photoshoped into Vishnu statue by ancient method of remodelling

27. To slander buddha's eight fold path, brahmins made 8 as an unholy number

28. During this hindu hegemonic tyranny many people returned to chathurvarna system and accepted brahminical supermacy
