Brahminism
Not to be confused with Brahmanism.
Brahminism refers to the domination of Indian society of the priestly class of Brahmins and their Hindu-ideology.[1] This domination is being criticised by Anti-Brahminism. Brahmanism is the religion that developed out of the historical Vedic religion,[web 1] and formed one of the constituents of the complex of Indian religions called Hinduism. The Srauta tradition still preserves elements of Brahminism.
