I met Sharad Ram Bazaz in Vendhya. He is a cloth merchant, therefore a member of the merchant class. He wears a black dhoti in a skirt-like fashion, a red vest, and a large turban with a feather in it.

Who are you?

I am Sharad Ram Bazaz. I buy and sell cloth.

Where are you from and what is the place like?

I am from Vendhya. Vendhya is effi cient and organized.

The people are treated well. We have free medical care and everyone is paid regularly. Even artisans, be they craftsmen or poets, are paid a stipend from the government so that they have the free time to devote to their art. Unlike your homeland of Nemedia, those who labour on public works are also paid by the government instead of just strong-armed into it. Even the poor are fed, for the towns and cities each have a large, central building for storing communal grain.

Food is for all to enjoy, not for hoarding.

I understand Vendhya has a strongly defi ned social system. What is that like? Are you part of an oppressed class?

I am a member of the merchant class. Our caste system implies a series of privileges and corresponding responsibilities. The caste system is not intended as a scheme for oppression but simply for order and organization. My class is above that of the serfs, but lower than the Kshatriyas and the priests.

I am not oppressed. I am not trained to rule Vendhya or fi ght wars like the Kshatriyas, nor am I trained to perform the rituals for religious observation necessary for the world to function correctly. Certainly you would not argue that those best trained for a task should be the people to perform that task, correct? I wouldn’t want their responsibilities anyway. If the rituals aren’t performed correctly, the cosmic order will be disturbed and catastrophe will most certainly follow. I don’t want that responsibility. I also don’t want the responsibility of making sure the people are fed, deciding how much to pay the artisans, or chasing after Ghulistani hillmen. I am pleased with my station; I have responsibility

toward me and my family, not the entire cosmos or even a nation or city. I am wealthier than many Kshatriyas, yet I don’t have to spend my money to feed the poor.

What are your warriors like?

Our warriors are unstoppable. The Kshatriya form the backbone of our fi ghting forces. These caste soldiers train for war their entire lives.

To whom do you pray?

I revere the mystical religion of Asura, which is derived from four great books, the compilations of centuries of religious thought and practices. I believe in a cosmic order, and that cause and effect extends beyond the physical realm, and that our rituals and actions here have repercussions throughout eternity. I believe the purpose of life is to pay the karmic debt against the soul. Each evil act extends the cycle of reincarnation; each good act shortens it. Those who suffer earned their trials in this or in previous lives; they are not to be pitied. I believe time is a revolving cycle where everything that has happened before will happen again and nothing will ever happen that has not happened before, and this cycle binds the universe together with Asura.
