oh g8! i find KPs quite hot! :P
i think KP brahmins and Bengali brahmins are quite un-orthodox.
actually, the caste system was never created to divide the ppl into lower and upper-class.
caste or varnas were just what you wud say ways to categorise ppl on the basis of their profession. in the Vedic time, you would find a priest(now a brahmin), a warrior/soldier (now kythriya),a merchant (vaishya caste) etc all in one family. later ppl chose to follow their parents profession and it became heridetary. and slow and slowly it became what is it today. which is quite sad.
but atleast you know your caste. by what i searched on the net, there are 4 main castes(brahmin,kythriya,vaishya and sudra). i am from the Kayastha caste and it doesnt appear in the list! i wikipediaed it, and it says Kayastha is a caste 'between' the brahmin and the kyathriya castes. like it is both the priest and the warrior caste!!!
