The English word brahmin is an anglicised form of the Sanskrit word Brahma?a, "having to do with Brahman (Sanskrit ??????) or divine knowledge".[2] The words Vipra "learned",[6] or Dvija "twice-born".[7] are used synonymously with the the word 'Brahmin'. Brahmins enjoyed significant power in the medieval times [8] and in modern India until the 19th century.[9] In modern India, some Brahmins have complained of reverse discrimination.[10][11] The Brahmin castes may be broadly divided into two regional groups Pancha-Gauda Brahmins and Pancha-Dravida Brahmins as per the shloka, however this shloka is from Rajatarangini of Kalhana which was composed only in 11th CE and many communities find their traces from sages mentioned in much older Vedas and puranas.
