    At present, the four castes in India are still used, and when you go to a hotel in India to register, you also have to fill in the caste, so we can only fill in "other". People of different castes are not allowed to interact, and if they give birth, the children born are also called untouchables.

    Like caste Brahmin, there are many surnames that belong to Brahmin, such as bajpai.

    Kshatriya wouldn't be ksatriya, what are the forms of subordinates?

    It is said that there seems to be no more people with the surname Kshatriya now, so it is a difficult problem.

    Kshatriyas are one of the four castes in ancient India.

  5. Anonymous users2024-02-03

    Kshatriyas represent kingship in India, and Kshatriya's status in India is the second estate. The ancestors were Aryans from Central Asia, who were powerful and second only to the Brahmins, and were the classes to which the royal family, the nobility, and the nobles belonged, and they were engaged in military and political affairs.

    The caste system in India is divided into four levels:

    The first class of Brahmins: mainly monks and aristocrats, who had the privilege of interpreting religious scriptures and worshipping gods and the right to enjoy offerings, the main education, the audience Kshatriyas, who were responsible for monopolizing cultural education and reporting on the agricultural seasons and the right to interpret religious discourse;

    The second class of Kshatriyas: mainly the military aristocracy and the administrative aristocracy, the audience of Brahmanism, who had the privilege of collecting all kinds of taxes, presided over the army, and was responsible for guarding the Brahmin class for all generations;

    The third class of Vaishyas: mainly ordinary Aryans, politically privileged, had to provide for the first two estates in the form of alms and taxes, the main business;

    Fourth Class Shudras: The vast majority of the conquered indigenous population, belonging to the non-Aryan people, consisting of high-ranking servants and artisans who served meals and cooks, and were the most populous castes. A profession that is considered lowly.

    In the caste system, offspring born to both parents from different castes are called hybrids.

    Brahmin: About 5%. Kshatriya: About 10%.

    Caste system. It was in India, Bangladesh.

    A social system based on the doctrine of descent is prevalent in countries such as Sri Lanka, with India being the most severe. Also known as the caste system and the caste system in India (Hindi: English: caste system in India).

    The caste system is centered around the ruling class, dividing into many occupation-based endogamous groups, known as castes. The castes are divided into sub-castes according to the region in which they live, and within these sub-castes they are divided into many settlement castes according to the settlements in which they live, and these settlement castes are finally divided into clans of different exogamy, and so on are interlocking and integrated into a social system scattered throughout the Indian subcontinent.

    Therefore, the caste system encompasses the vast majority of groups in Indian society and is closely related to India's social system, cosmology, religion and interpersonal relations, and can be said to be the most important social system and norms in traditional India.

    Transmission Experience:

    In fact, after the Brahmanism came to China, the Sui was not a flash in the pan. Paintings from Brahmanism, painting, sculpture, medicine, astronomy, mathematics, divination, spells, etc., have had a significant and lasting impact on Chinese culture. Although these are often and Buddhist.

    The cultural influences are mixed up, but they can still be distinguished.

    For example, the multi-handed, multi-armed statues in caves or temples are all derived from Brahmanism, although they later appeared in the name of Buddhism, and as for the Brahmanical texts we see in the Sui Book and Sutra Chronicles, it is very clear. Hundreds of years later, in the History of the Song Dynasty, we can also find the existence and circulation of books such as the volume of "Brahmin Monk's Clothing Xianmao Fang", which proves that Brahmanism still tenaciously retains some of its characteristics.

    Brahmanism came to China along with Buddhism, then Taoism.

    Before it arose, Brahmanism profoundly influenced the teachings of Taoism, and the Taoist scriptures were full of discourses about Brahmanism, and the formation of the Three Qings was also related to the three main gods of Brahmanism.

    Closely related, Taoist rituals also have a distinctly Brahmanical overtone. "Lingbao Immeasurable Human Grade Sutra", "constructed" by Ge Chaofu in the late Eastern Jin Dynasty, has an important influence in the history of Taoism, and is located at the top of the "Taoist Collection".

    Saving people. There are obvious foreign elements, and previous researchers often attribute them to Buddhist influences, but the reality is not accurate. The foreign elements of the Sutra mainly come from Brahmanism, such as the Great Brahma as the main god, the evolutionary picture of the universe experiencing calamity, and the Yuan Shi Tianzun.

    The robbery of people, and so on, all come directly from Brahmanism, or are derived from it, or are deformed from it. Among them, the "Great Sanskrit Hidden Language" and other words of praise to the heavens are translated from the Brahmanical scriptures, but they have been condensed and rewritten.

    In the early Vedic era, a family could engage in different occupations, and the identity of the person was not strictly fixed. After the formation of the Varna system in the later Vedic era, the social status of each individual was determined by his or her family origin, and each Varna was engaged in prescribed occupations for generations and could not be changed arbitrarily. Intermarriage between the varnas is forbidden, in principle.

    In practice, it was permissible for a man from the High Varna to marry a woman from the Low Varna, but it was strictly forbidden for a man from the Low Varna to marry a woman from the High Varna. The people of the different varna are not equal in law. The man of the High Varna wounded the man of the Low Varna, and the punishment was very light; In the opposite case, the penalties can be severe.

    The Varna system was clearly a tool for the protection of the newly created aristocratic exploiting class.

    The Brahmanical theory of karma and reincarnation also defends the caste system. It speaks of people from higher castes as pre-born doers of good, and of those from lower castes as pre-born evildoers. In this way, a theoretical explanation is found for both the privileges of the upper castes and the misery of the lower castes, which of course can only be a deceptive explanation.

    So the true Kshatriyas are often thought to be no longer in the world!

    First of all, India makes me not understand, and secondly, which person with the most words said it is very unreasonable.

    After reading your question, I have a general look at the Indian envoy.

    Brahmins are religious leaders and Kshatriyates are political and military leaders. There is a question of inheritance here.

    So how is religion transmitted? Those who can are preferred, you have the ability, you can grasp the power, and you can fool people, then you can become the one in power (just for entertainment, don't take it seriously if you are religious).

    So how are political leaders passed on? The bloodline takes precedence, and the royal bloodline is the most important, even if he is a fool. However, with the change of dynasties, this so-called bloodline cannot be maintained at all.

    To sum up, after historical changes, especially during the British colonization of India, the social pattern of Indians has changed a lot, and the most obvious thing should be that the hierarchical aristocratic Kshatriyas can no longer have the rights and wealth they once had. The same Brahmins prospered more and more, because in the turbulent times the people had only spiritual trust in the gods.

    In fact, this is nothing, you see that European countries are basically religious, and the pope is still there, but many countries such as France and Germany have no kings. This is a fundamental inheritance issue.

    Brahmins and Kshatriyas were originally a division of labor, and both Brahmins and Kshatriyas were sacred in nature, making them irreplaceable, but their division of labor was self-contradictory: although Brahmins considered themselves superior to Kshatriyas in religious status, the actual political power was in the hands of Kshatriyas, and in this case, Kshatriyas who violated some of the "clean" norms (such as eating meat or polygamy) were inferior in caste status to vegetarian merchants or priests among Brahmins. This result was not acceptable to the royal family in power, so the varnas claimed that the two varnas shared "the power to rule over all living things", but the Brahmins "granted" this power to the Kshatriyas, regardless of the actual political affairs, and the Kshatriyas "did not need" to interfere in the religious functions of the Brahmins, and were responsible for "protecting" and "supporting" the Brahmins so that they could perform their priestly duties with peace of mind. In this way, Varna skillfully dissolves the contradiction between theory and practical life, establishing a relationship of "separation of church and state" but interdependence.

    Moreover, this functional division allows the new ruler who will come to power to interact with the Brahmins in imitation of the original Kshatriya characters based on this discourse. In other words, the varna is a structure of power relations under which the Brahmins and the rulers can cooperate with each other and maintain the superiority of the Brahmins without violating the principles of purity and impurity. In addition, in the British Raj period, because the caste system was included in the household registration item, some castes would be able to assert their caste status by claiming their varnara during the census.

    Thus, the Varna class in fact provided a blueprint for the various castes to imagine how the "ideal society" should work.

    Here are my personal opinions:1. In ancient India, Kshatriyas were under the Brahmins, and although they were emperors, the Brahmins always held a high position due to the caste system.

    2.With the development of history, Kshatriyas have existed in name only. Just like the British royal family, they don't have much status now, and power is in the hands of Parliament.

    Kshatriya is the secular ruling class, Brahmin is the spiritual ruling class, as the ruling class of feudal society, Kshatriya disappeared with the changes of colonial and political system, they as an oppressive race of the Indian people for the Indian people have little need for the existence of the Indian people, and the Indian people have a firm belief in spirituality and religion, and the anti-British revolution is precisely because the colonizers did not respect the faith, and the indelible nature of the thought made the Brahmins retain.

    Hindu caste system:

    Brahmin – monk.

    Kshatriyas – nobles.

    Vaishyas – civilians.

    Shudras – lowly professions.

    India is a country with strong religious overtones, for example: in the 20th century, the most influential political force in the Indian independence movement was the Congress Party, whose main leaders were Gandhi and Nehru, who advocated non-violent non-cooperation movements. The Congress Party represents the demands of the Indian national bourgeoisie and the popular Hindu faith.

    In addition, the Muslim League represents the demands of Muslims who have Islam as their faith. So, religion in India determines your political affiliation, and religion leads politics. Thus, Brahmins as a class of monks are the majority in Indian politics.

    The second caste of the ancient Indians was the Kshatriyas, which evolved mainly from the royal and warrior classes. The Kshatriyas held some political, economic, and military power, and as their power grew, they became less and less content to submit to the Brahmins and constantly challenge the Brahmin supremacy. By the end of the Vedic era, the Kshatriyas had surpassed the Brahmins, and the Vedic texts had openly claimed that the Kshatriyas were the noblest and that the Sakura monks were merely the king's attendants.

According to the Rig Veda, a classic of Indian Brahmanism, the hierarchy (the ancient Indians called the varna system, the Chinese called it the caste system, the original meaning of varna is color, quality) had sprouted in the early Vedic era (1500-900 BC), but it was not formed. It was already formed in the late Vedic period (900-600 BC). The reasons for its formation are conquest, social division of labor, class division, etc.
