no, i understood that part, (and im a mythology nerd as well!) but my mother said because of the caste system, bramhins were one of the few (i think maybe the only) caste that was allowed to learn or read or write or recite mantras and whatnot. i was confused and didn’t understand why this was the case, but i guess india revolves around tradition, even today.

our family speaks hindi and tamil, but my parents know marathi quite well.

and there are thousands of different castes, but it’s based on each region. i heard what happened in bihar to those two girls and i was horrified; i think india should ban the caste system tbh
