<I am also aware that at the Goan Gymkhana,Nairobi, non-Brahmin males who
were admitted after independence, were refused dances by Brahmin girls;
whilst male brahmins never danced with female non-brahmins even though in
some cases, they were classmates their entire school life.>
Considering that Tonybab is talking about Africa, I wonder if ANY Africans
were allowed to attend these dances. And IF they were , IF any of the
alleged non-Brahmin girls were 'allowed' to dance with the African guys.
PS: When we speak bad about the Caste System, we sometimes forget to
remember the COLOUR origins.
"Non-Brahmins" often speak ill of the prejudice of the "Brahmins" against
"non-Brahmins". Was there NO prejudice displayed by the "Non-Brahmins" to
individuals of other races and colours?
