Hindoo Grades

The four grades of society among the Hindoos are the Brahmans, or sacerdotal class, who are said at the moment of creation to have issued from the mouth of Brahma; the Kshatrya, or Chuttsee, or military class, sprang from the arm of Brahma; the Vaisya, or Bais, or mercantile class, from the thigh of Brahma, and Sndras, or Sooders, or servle class, from the foot of Brahma. The business of the Sndras is to serve ;he three superior classes, more especially the Brahmans. Their condition is never to be improved; they are Dot to accumulate property and are nnable by any means to approach the diguity of he higher classes. These divisions are hereditary, imnassable and indefeasihln.
