Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
It was not necessary to be born a Kshatriya in order to lead an empire or polity because someone from a lower caste could overthrow a king or queen by executing rituals with the aid of Brahmanas. The would-be king, who was not a Kshatriya by birth, performed the Hiranya Garbha, or golden womb, rite. Brahmins assisted in performing this rite. The non-Kshatriya king was thought to have been reincarnated as a Kshatriya after conducting this ceremony. For instance, Dantidurga, a Rashtrakuta chief who was not a Kshatriya, carried out the Hiranya Garbha ceremony and overthrew the Chalukyas.
The correct statement would be that it wasn’t necessary to be born a Kshatriya to be a ruler in the past.
