Yogya Brahmin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yogya Brahmin (Maithili: योग्य ब्राह्मण) is a second sub-class within the traditional Maithil Brahmins community in the Mithila region of the Indian subcontinent.[1] In the traditional hierarchy of the Maithil Brahmins community, Yogyas are placed after the Shrotriyas. This sub-class of the Maithil Brahmins community is also known as Bhalmanush. The Brahmins belonging to this sub-class are scholars devoted to learning Vedic texts.[2][3][4][5]
