Abstract
This paper traces the roots of Brahmin dominance that took place in Indian society. It basically focuses on the interpretation ofhistorians, philosophers and great social reformers regarding the origin of the Shudras and Aryans. It is not an attempt to write the history of the varna system or caste system in India, but rather related to the contradictions on the issues of origin of the Shudras and Aryans.
