| It is a great proud for someone to belong
to a particular group or community or caste .And it is obtained
by birth. India is known for people of diverse religions, languages
and communities. As per Indian Histroy the group of people was
divided or known by their vocations. They were Brahmins, Kshatriyas,
Vaishyas and Shudras. Brahmins studied and preached religion,
Kshatriyas ruled and protected the population, Vaishyas conducted
business and farming, whereas Shudras comprised of most of the
working classes including artisans and craftsmen such as janitors,
blacksmiths, carpenters. These vocations were interchangeable.
So, belonging to a group was determined not by birth but rather
by profession. However, over a period of time, this interchangeability
became limited due to many reasons. Thus, professional communities
were established and one's community was determined by birth.
Subsequently, each community was divided into smaller castes
and each caste was further divided into sub-castes. We - VISA
SORATHIA - are basically Vaishyas - a Sanskrit word which means
businessmen. In our Gujarati, businessmen are called 'Vaniyas'. |
