Busentiz, I am not sure where you got the idea that Chhetri was a caste created out of moving Brahmins one caste down as punishment. Either I have got the fact wrong or you are making something without any basis.


Like we have said here in the post, Chhetri is a stand alone caste not a derivative of Bahun/Brahmin. The class system in caste system existed to separate the labor and socio/economic structure of the ancient time. Brahmin obviously got the highest order because they wrote the book on caste system. Chhetris were the warrior clan, derivatives of which are Khas and Thakuris.


You clearly are not familiar with the historical scriptures, so let's discuss something you are familiar with, Mahabharata. All those Pandavas and Kauravas, the kings, they were all chhetriyas. They didn't get that caste because their ancestors did something wrong. Brahmins worked for them, although they had to touch their feet.


Some might find this dicussion futile; but we aren't advocating for caste system here; merely pointing out a fact on historical origins of an important aspect of our then society: caste system.
