A CASTE STORY #1
Four men; a Warrior, a Physician, a Merchant and a Builder were drinking in a tavern. Having imbibed for most of the night, they proceeded to have an argument about the importance of the various castes in their city. It went something like this:
The Builder said: "Were it not for my caste, there would be no city, for my caste designs and sees to the building of such things as cities.
The Physician said: "Were it not for my caste, the city could not be completed, for my caste treats and heals the sickness and injuries of those who build the city."
The Merchant said: "Were it not for my caste, there would have nothing to build with, for my caste sells such materials so that others may build cities."
The Warrior said: "Were it not for my caste, you would soon be forced from your city, for my caste defends its walls with our lives."
With that, all four men looked at one another for a moment and as one, and uttered a word:
"Brother".
