Summary: The following notes are not intended to be an exhaustive treatise on Brahmans. The subject is too wide and complex to admit of this being attempted in a few pages. Only those Brahmans who serve in the Army are discussed. It is hoped that enough has been written to give a clear account of these and their customs. The census returns speak for themselves. The population of the tribes who enlist is sufficiently numerous to admit of the existing strength of Brahmans being doubled, if not trebled, easily in a few months. As to physique, taking them all round, Brahmans are second to none in these provinces, and they are more easily recruited than any other caste in the country.
