what explanation awhatl-biruni often for the dominates pf brahma in Varna order
Answers
Answer:
The highest caste are the Brahmana, of whom the books of the Hindus tell us thats they were created from the head of Brahma. And as the Brahma is only another name for the force called nature, and the head is the highest part of the ... body, the Brahmanas are the choice part of the whole genus. Therefore the Hindus consider them as the very best of mankind. The next caste are the Kshatriyas, who were created, as they say, from the shoulders and hands of Brahma. Their degree is not much below that of the Brahmanas. After them follow the Vaishya, who were created from the thigh of Brahma. The Shudras, who were created from his feet. Between the latter two classes there is no very great distance. Much, however, as these classes differ from each other, they live together in the same towns and villages, mixed together in the same houses and lodgings. Questions:
(i) Explain Al-Biruni’s account of the system of varnas.
(ii) Do you consider this type of division justified? Explain with reasons.
(iii) How was the system not quite rigid in the real life? Explain.
Al-Biruni’s account of the System of Varnas:
(i) According to Bernier Varna system consists of mainly four castes or classes viz Brahmanas, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and Shudras. Former two were privileged castes and latter were served the society.
(ii) No, I don't consider this type of division to be justified because:
(a) It results inequality, religious fights and which ultimately break the peace of the country.
(b) There should be no discrimination on the basis of caste, creed and religion.
(iii) The system is not quite rigid in the real life as between the Vaishyas and Shudras there is no very great distance. Much, however as these classes differ from each other, they live together in the same towns and villages, mixed together in the same houses and lodgings.
