Q 17- This is Al-Birunis account of the system of Varnas :

The highest caste are Brahmana, of whom the books of the Hindus tell us that they were created from the head of Brahman and as the Brahman is only another name for the force called nature , and the head is the highest part of the body, The Brahmana are the choice part of the whole genus. Therefore the Hindus consider them as the very best of mankind.

The next caste are the kshatriya,who were created as they say from the shoulders and hands of Brahman. Their degree is not much below that of Brahman.

After them fallow the Vaishya ,who were created from the thigh of Brahman.

The Shudra who were created from his feet.

Between the latter two classes there is no very great distance . Much , however as these classes differ from each other, they live together in the same towns and villages,mixed together in the same houses and lodgings.
