The word pair "Samana Brahmana" occurs numerous times in Pali texts [1]and Ashoka's Edicts. Collectively they represent the two kinds of philosophers/intellectuals.
Samana (Shramana) includes Buddhist and Jain monks. The two quotes with the text "recluse or brahmin" are translations of समणब्राह्मणा and thus apply to both Brahmins and Buddhists/Jains and thus cannot be considered examples of Anti-Brahmanism.
You can search for text string समणब्राह्मणा in the Pali texts here: [2] दीघनिकायो > सीलक्खन्धवग्गपाळि > ब्रह्मजालसुत्तं. You can see translation by Mahapandit Rahul Sankrityayana here [3].

@ LearnIndology: to what version did you revert here? Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 13:28, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
Brahmin advocates of anti-Brahmin and anti-caste sentiment offered a ‘double’, a discursively constructed ‘Brahmin’, thus deflecting or diffusing criticism, and enabling the Brahmin performer or composer to maintain a position of importance as a Brahmin in the world of bhakti and the larger premodern public sphere.

Can the two of you start discussing your reverts? Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 18:59, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
The subject of the article is indeed anti-Brahminism; that does also include it's roots. The WP:LEAD summarizes the article; this is part of the article. As for the other reverts:

@ Ashgene: please explain how the sources you have used support the sentence "Anti-Brahminism is a Racist idology of hate, prejudice and discrimination against Brahmins predominantly in India and it is akin to Anti-Semitism." [1]. Vanamonde ( Talk) 16:44, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
"Anyone who sincerely adheres to the core principles of the Indian Constitution is automatically anti-Brahmanical."Where does it mention prejudice? Vanamonde ( Talk) 17:40, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
