Excerpt from Hindu Castes and Sects: An Exposition of the Origin of the Hindu Caste System and the Bearing of the Sects Towards Each Other and Towards Other Religious Systems To speak of the Brahmans as though they were one and tbs same people, with the same characteristics is delusive. For thousand of ears they have been a disunited people, with mutual antipathiee an non-resemblances instead of mutual likenesses and concord The Brahmans themselves, and none others, are responsible for this Their monstrous arrogance, selfishness and assumption have prover the bane of their race. In the cultivation of these vicious qualitie they are at one, but in all other respects they are the most inhar monious and discordant people on the face of the earth.
