I am neither a scholar in Vedas / Sanskrit nor posses a fair knowledge in this area. I used read only translated versions in English. My knowledge of Sastras are very much limited. With this apologetic note I start with:
The story of Sunahsepha Devarata, for instance, which we find in Aitareya –Brahmana and in the Sankhayana – Sutras is very much interesting.
Sunahsepha, born to Ajikarta, a decendant of the then famous Brahmanic family of Angirasas, was taken on adoption by Visvaamitra ( a Raaja-putra) as the eldest son (of his 100 sons) after his escape from death.
One another story that is found in Satapatha Brahmana where King Janaka of Videha (a Raaja-putra by birth) became a Brhaman since then by the grant of a boon (varam) from the Rishi Yaajnavalkya.
The conversion a Brahman as a Kshatria and a Kshatria as a Brahman was possible and accepted during the Vedic period itself, could it not possible at this 21[SUP]st[/SUP] century.Please explore ways and means.
