DIFINATION OF BRAHMIN

Brahmin is the class of educators, law makers, scholars and preachers in Hinduism. It is said to occupy the first position among the four varnas of Hinduism. The English word brahmin is an anglicised form of the Sanskrit word Brāhmana who possesses the 'knowledge.' Brahmins are also called Vipra "learned" or Dvija "twice-born".
