Hindu priest harm doctor in rubbish container? (7)

I believe the answer is:

brahmin

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'hindu priest' is the definition.
'brahmin' can be an answer for 'priest' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'hindu' bit.

'harm doctor in rubbish container?' is the wordplay.
'doctor' is an anagram indicator.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'rubbish container?' becomes 'bin' (I've seen this before).
'harm' with letters rearranged gives 'rahm'.
'rahm' placed into 'bin' is 'BRAHMIN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for brahmin that I've seen before include "Priest" , "American intellectual" , "High-caste Hindu; culturally superior type" , "US highbrow" .)
