KSHATTRIYA

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 934 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KRO-LAP
KSHATTRIYA , one of the four
original
 
Indian
  castes, the other three being the
Brahman
 , the Vaisya and the Sudra. The Kshattriya was the
warrior
 
caste
 , and their
function
  was to protect the
people
  and abstain from sensual pleasures. On the rise of Brahmin ascendancy the Kshattriyas were repressed, and their consequent revolt gave rise to Buddhism and Jainism, the founders of both these religions belonging to the Kshattriya
caste
 . Though, according to tradition, the Kshattriyas were all exterminated by Parasurama, the rank is now conceded to the
modern
  Rajputs, and also to the ruling families of native states. (See CASTE.)
