Outside of South India, the tradition of kings and patronage went long
time ago.  Yet Brahmanahood still survived.

Sometimes we think of tradition in too much of a binary way.  But lets not
forget that there are some areas where our Dharma is leniant.  Where it
does offer alternatives.  Maybe not as much as some people might like.
But more than zero.
