Brahmin communities

Brahmin communities are social groups traditionally associated with priesthood, scholarship, and learning in India. They are part of the Hindu caste system, which categorizes society into hierarchical groups. Brahmins typically played roles as priests, teachers, and advisors, emphasizing knowledge, spiritual guidance, and ritual practice. Over time, Brahmin communities have diversified in customs, languages, and professions, adapting to regional and historical contexts. Today, while many still pursue religious and academic roles, others participate in various fields, reflecting evolving social dynamics within Indian society.
