- Rom baro, there is a consensus that we do not mention genetics on caste pages.LukeEmily (talk) 19:24, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
- Where is this mentioned?
- I've seen plenty of genetics subheadings on different caste/community pages here on Wikipedia. Why is it suddenly a problem for Brahmins? Temporary 1010 (talk) 10:45, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

There no equivalent aor in english for varna , the word caste was introduced by English rulers and actually has no definition . Indian law recognises hundreds to thousands caste in ech varna . Therefore the word caste should be removed from here and elsewhere where it is used in place of varna 2405:201:3008:C013:A2EE:119C:891A:CA19 (talk) 16:34, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Genetic heredity
[edit]The 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)
- Please note that we don't mention genetics in caste articles as per WP:CONSENSUS! Ekdalian (talk) 05:51, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
