I am sure you are not talking about them.
Mr Prasad:
The bull looks very cute, perhaps its gene be preserved as well !

Yup, I thought the same thing, very similar to seed bank currently maintained in case a terrible catastrophe wipes out the eco-system.
Only one question: why no egg bank? Unless women are not supposed to carry the "Brahmin gene" and are only the "vessel". Of course if the Y chromosome is the only one that matters, then IC marriages are not a big deal, because all
marriages are IC marriages as only the male can be "certified" to carry the desired gene.
Kind of a paradox, isn't it?
There is a tradition dividing Indian’s Brahmin communities in two, on a north-south split. The above partition does not perfectly reflect the oral history and custom, but it is very close. The Brahmins of South India are a particularly homogeneous lot. I’d bet that their diversity is a function of cultural evolution and adaptation to local circumstances, not disparate origins. Rather, they derive from some initial migration from a specific North Indian Brahmin community, and then admixed somewhat with another South Indian population (explaining their profiles being closer to the Southern average than that of Northern Brahmins).
The campus of the IGIB, India’s secretive Institute of Genomics & Integrative Biology, is set in a leafy part of north Delhi, where the wide roads and clean pavements are a relic of ‘Civil Lines’ — a colonial-era term used to distinguish military streets from the civilian.
Dr Arijit Mukhopadhyay was a specialist in eye genetics, a small, quick man in his mid-30s with ill-fitted trousers, a short-sleeved shirt and closed-toed sandals.
“Does the genetic landscape map reveal anything about caste?” I asked. “Some people tell doctors that they like sperm donors to come from their own caste, to get the right genes.”
Dr Mukerji was dismissive. “There’s no logic to talking about caste and sperm and which community has better genes. Indians all have opinions, but the caste system has no genetic basis.’

Mr Biswa:
Never thought of that, my bad!
Eggs are equally important !
Let me quote the wise man from post 288!
"There is no use repeating to these people that brahmin community is a gene bank which is a treasure house (with all its implications). There is no use telling these people that they are losing a precious treasure with every IC/IR marriage"
Mr Vaagmi is the self proclaimed expert for all brahmins because he says "we the TB in Tamilnadu" dont need any advice from people from other parts of the world. It is like "cone heads" proclaiming to speak for all whites about how white race is getting lost by others !
Reading this I was making a playful suggestion for creating a sperm bank !
I was reading in a newspaper that dream of every working carer woman is a macho boy with muscles . They would like someone who is physically strong enough to protect
them. Coming from community which has satvik traditions, this remains an aspiration for most brahmin women which is not fulfilled thru marriage in their own clan.
When I read about militant castes, killing boys from dalit community for reasons of community honour etc as they have married girls from their community , I feel the
Caste divisions are maximum in tamilnadu .
Brahmin girls dilemma is brahmin boys refuse to act and behave physically tough and capable of fulfilling the role of protectors and it is unsafe to find a boy from other
communities who could ill treat them if their choice is not judicious.
The lack of physical strength of brahmin boys cannot be compensated thru better education or job.
So our brahmin boys need to flex their muscles also. to get a girl of their choice.
