Indians burns effigy of an arrogant Brahmin (Rawan) every year

When a scholar becomes arrogant, he becomes to dangerous for the society as he has immense potential to impedes harms to the society. This tradition of burning of effigy of Rawan, not only depicts the victory of good over evil, but gives a good lesson to Brahmins (in today's era all scholars irrespective of caste) for not becoming arrogant.

Recently in a group I found someone posting that if a non-Brahmin becomes Sant, he ended like Asharam, Ram Rahim, Rampal, Swamy Nithyananda etc. This is really an arrogant and irresponsible statement and could be signifies as spreading caste hatred. Anyway they are getting stern reply from people specially people belonging to Dalit community who take such thing as head on although these people don't belong to Untouchables or Dalits. 

Under the era of Rawan, kingdoms of North India or specially kings have no problem as depicted by the happy state of Ayodhya and their non-interference with the acts of Ravan. After all these kingdoms were also guided by Brahmins and they were under the influence of Brahmins. 

Vishwamitra, a non-Brahmin Rishi, took the things head on and became Guru of Rama, a rebel by nature. Vishwamitra had great influence on local people.

People are enumerating a list of Brahmin Gurus with dark side and questions why only Ravan is being burnt. The demise of Ravan has really weakened Brahmin Supremacy in Indian Society, though it came back in other form by making Ram as God and at the same time advised for Ashvedh Yagya to come out from the sin of killing a Brahmin.  

Even Vishwamitra (earlier) was under the spell of existing system who tried all efforts for stopping him becoming Rishi. 

In the modern era, Buddha and Mahavira were also from ruling clan. 

These days some people, under the influence of some community for religious conversion, consider Ravan as their ancestors and tried to burn effigy of Ram instead of Ravan. But the conscious Hindu community led by Brahmins becomes instrumental in killing such deviation (not good for Indian society and its belief system.)
