Shastri was not a brahmin.
Desai too was not.
According to wikipedia Morarji Desai was born into an Anavil Brahmin family at Bhadeli village .
Rajiv was a parsi.
That can be technically right based on his father Feroze Gandhi .Then why was his last rites conducted according to Hindu Way of Cremation ? I remeber seeing Rahul Gandhi wearning a Sacred Thread and doing the last rites like any Brahmin . Parsis never burn the dead .They consider the fire very sacred .So my take on Rajiv is technically he may be a Parsi but he behaved like a Hindu only .
As regards Modi ,I doubt he is a Brahmin .
