Genetic heredity
editThe article as it stands reads as if there is no basis to the brahmins as an endogamous caste group, which is clearly nonsense. All genetic analyses show that brahmins show significantly more proximity to each other than to regional and other caste groups. The article ought to be revised to reflect this point. If a Tamil brahmin is closer to a Punjabi brahmin than a Punjabi brahmin is to a Punjabi khatri, then this clearly shows that brahmins are a genetic endogamous group and that the history of India reflects that brahmins had a hereditary status and were held separate from people who merely learned or practised some portion of a religious praxis, or held allegiance to a religious corpus. Indeed, genetic tests connnect brahmins together and give the lie to the claim that being a brahmin was merely a vocational choice within the framework of Indian culture. The article is misleading and seems to imply that there is no such thing as an inherited brahmin caste genetic heritage, when this is demonstrably false. Zubedar (talk) 00:44, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

'Origin and History'
It seems likely that Kannauj and Middle country was the place of origin of majority of migrating Brahmins throughout the medieval centuries. Coming from Kannauj is a frequent claim among Brahmins of Gujrat in areas distant from Madhyadesha or Ganges heartland.

Not done: Kanyakubja redirects to Kannauj anyways, and also please provide a reason for removing Brahmins of Gujrat Bunnypranav (talk) 09:39, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
