Brahma.

he decided to perform a great yagna.

Shankar.
• Shankar's gate keeper, Nandi cursed all Brahmins
that were there that their entire lineage will live
in pity of others and will eat what others will give
and will also be Demon-Brahmins and hence many
infants of Brahmins will become malicious in
kaliyuga.
• But Kumhars were even then called Prajapatis and so there is no such
curse given to this holy honest hardworking high system called Kumhar.
