From a historical perspective, records indicate that Shudras studied & mastered Vedas as texts in past, irrespective of dharmic or adharmic.
This is attested in Buddh. text Vajrasuchi (attr. to Ashvaghosha), with auxiliary evidence found in Puranic descriptions of Kali Yuga.

Encountered a tiger while riding through the Akola buffer zone of the Panna tiger reserve. Shortly before this encounter, I saw a large herd of deer next to the road. I had a feeling, I might see more wildlife ahead.
Lo and behold, this big cat was hiding in the bushes at the edge of the road. He snarled at me as he looked for a clear path to cross. His intense gaze did not scare me. If anything, he was mesmerizing to look at. Instead of speeding up, I slowed my bike and turned my head around to take in his majestic beauty before he vanished from sight. 1/3

The Austronesian tribes of Indonesia were calling themselves 'Arya' long before the term was even known to Europeans.
E.g.Bendosari inscription of Majapahit Empire mentions two royal officials using Arya as a title: sang āryya senāpati pu tanu and sang āryyātmarāja pu taṇḍing

The four colours of the Palestine flag represents the Abbasid Caliphate, Umayyad Caliphate, Fatimid Caliphate and Hashemite Dynasty. The Former two were defeated by our ancestors and stopped at our borders. Raising this flag in India should be treated as treason.

Dharmika lifestyle involves.
Sandhya twice a day (1 Hour)
Swadhyaya (2 Hours)
Vyayama (Workout) 1.5 Hours
Agnihotra (for Grihastas) 1 Hour
A typical 9-5 office worker cannot do these along with work + Commute.
To do these he would have to sacrifice time with family, personal time, sleep, health.
This has everything that's wrong with India.
People are so frustrated, angry and stressed that the work not only ruins their personal life, it also runs their physical and mental health.
Working hours should not be more than 7 hours a day so that people get enough time for workout, meditation and other things that actually matter in life.
