A Pandit, and their caste is Brahmin.

Wrong - a pundit is any person who has knowledge of a particular subject regardless of caste. The word Pundit is so widely used in western culture that it is now defined in English/American dictionary. I see this word pundit being used daily referring to experts and not brahims.

------------

For the different languages that India has..there are different terms. A few examples:

Maharaj, swami, melshanti, namboothiri,

A pandit when translated in English is a priest.And according to Hinduism a pandit has to be a brahmin.
Hindu priests are called pujaree or Maharaja
