Hi, Cornel, sorry if i sounded a bit mumbo-jumbo-esque in my last post on Catholic brahmin. The Indian sub-continent is home to as many as four religions: Hinduism ( Dharm ), Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism. Besides it is home to many millions of Muslims and Christians. Hinduism is the original religion and all others are converts ( willing or otherwise ) to religions of their choice and caste is the backbone of Hinduism. As far as I know, no person has ever claimed to be a Buddhist brahmin, Jain brahmin, Sikh brahmin or a Muslim brahmin. Only in Goa we have Catholic brahmin and that calls for further delving into their antecedents.
