Anti Brahminism

[Meluhhan]

Buddhist scriptures talk about kingdoms in Ancient India where Kshatriyas and not Brahmanas were the dominant caste. This quote is from the [url="http://www.sacred-texts.com/bud/dob/dob-03tx.htm"]Ambattha Sutta[/url]:

'Once, Gotama, I had to go to Kapilavatthu on some business or other of Pokkharasâdi's, and went into the Sâkyas' Congress Hall{2}. Now at that time there were a number of Sâkyas, old and young, seated in the hall on grand seats, making merry and joking together, nudging one another with their fingers{3}; and for a truth, methinks, it was I myself that was the subject of their jokes; and not one of them even offered me a seat. That, Gotama, is neither fitting, nor is it seemly, that the Sâkyas, menials as they are, mere menials, should neither venerate, nor value, nor esteem, nor give gifts to, nor pay honour to Brahmans.'
