brahmins

Brahmins are a societal group in India that traditionally held high social status and were associated with the priestly and intellectual professions. They are considered the highest Varna (caste) in the Hindu caste system, which is a social hierarchy based on hereditary occupation and status. Brahmins historically were responsible for performing religious rituals and preserving sacred knowledge, such as the Vedas and other scriptures.

However, it is important to note that the caste system has evolved and changed over time, and the status of Brahmins varies in different regions and among different groups. In contemporary society, Brahmins can be found in various professions and occupations, and their social status may vary based on factors such as education, wealth, and influence rather than solely on their caste identity.
