Brahmins, originally responsible for the sacred sphere, pursued diverse paths, leading to the formation of numerous subcultures and perspectives within the community. Their identity development involved various processes, including textual definitions, socio-economic adjustments, political influences, and historical evolution. It is essential to recognize that Brahmin identity is not absolute but rather shaped by the diverse expressions of otherness. This book seeks to explore the interplay between identity and otherness, highlighting the phenomena of differentiation. Factors such as the relationship with a Brahmin model, strategies to maintain elite status, discourses on secularism and casteism, and the impact of reservation policies favoring backward populations contribute to the construction of distinct identities.
