Hi Antonio I don't think I understand your question about colour and caste. However, I have come across those claiming to be Brahmins from people who are very fair and virtually white, to those pretty dark. Indeed, some dark ones I met had discernible African features. Amazingly, they were introduced to me as Brahmin people from Saligao, of all places! Prior to meeting them, I had assumed that they were Sidhis and about whom I had done some reading.
Yes, siblings like sisters or brothers of mixed heritage can be of totally different colours---but in the final analysis, we are all descended from African roots, deemed by anthropologists (of at least one persuasion), to be from East Africa where you and I lived in more recent times! Perhaps you might kindly re-phrase your question to me for a more coherent answer. Kind regards Cornel --- Antonio Menezes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > N,B.
