Devdasis are not bramhin girls hence clubbing devadasis in the article Bramhin is inappropriate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.92.131.47 (talk) 11:57, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Brahmins are largely pure Aryans. This Race originated in the Indian subcontinent and parts of Central Asia. Racial genetics is easy to manipulate, so one has to go mainly by texts, language etc. Indians are the original Aryans. Also for example the highest ever reported presence of R1a* (ancestral haplogroup of R1a1*) is in Kashmiri Pandits (Brahmins) and Saharia tribe. Genes can change in different regions due to environmental pressure. while Kashmiri Brahmins are surely amongst the purest Aryans on our planet the Saharia tribe is surely not. This proves things.

This is not the topic of discussion here.This article is about Brahmins and not their sufferings.Lets not lead it astray.

Another thing...In Ancient Goa,many Maratha and Brahmin girls who didnt want to burn themselves on the pyres of thier husband escaped and sought shelter in some temples and were slowly degraded to Devadasis.

Brahmin and genetic communities

The section with this title has two problems, I think.

It lacks an introduction to its topic and is therefore non-encyclopedic; and
It is not within the scope of the topic, that is 'the social caste'.

I believe this section should be removed. Cathbhadh III (TALK) 03:18, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Arya is not a tribe.

,,,My friend you will never understand because you never try to undenstand.All your knowledge is based on imparial victorian writer who where trying to justify colonisation.Arya is not a tribe it is a word for nobel in india it has nothing to do with complexion.western scholers says that human originated in africa and from there they travel to other parts of the world.They were black due to there natural condition.so white complaxtion has nothing to do with with brahmins or arya.naver trust the book try to explore the truth yourself.After all knowledge is all about keep learning not geting degree only.knowledge and degree is diffrant thing.--Nkatyan (talk) 10:29, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
