Shreshtha better amongst individuals

Shreshtha: shreshth better amongst individuals signifies the relative superiority of one from the masses in general. In the older days, when science was under development and Human Being had not evolved to the extent as of now, the control of the society rested in the hands of one who was considered Shreshtha (superior) amongst all ... one above the ordinary.

Such people were regarded with great awe and had to be defeated in one-to-one combat in the event of a challenger sprouting amongst the public. The combat could be in form of a wordy duel ... the test of educational prowess of one above the another or could be a physical combat involving various forms of sporting events.

"Survival of the fittest" as coined by Charles Darwin confirms the "Shreshtha" aspect of being religiously practiced in the society by one and all.
