I thought it was quite clear that Arun was joking. A good example of how different people see differently. :)

>How did you get Brahmin from Kerala?> I don't know how to search old dvdw posts on silicon investor and am going only by memory. So it is possible that I am mistaking him for another poster. And if I am, I apologize to dvdw and this whole analysis is out of the window. In some of the earliest posts I remember from dvdw, I sensed some antipathy to India that I typically see in some indian immigrants to western countries who left India in the 1970s. Its is a strange case of interest and rejection at the same time. The immigrant feels guilty in some ways that he has adopted a new homeland, so he has to disparage his former homeland and its culture and idealize his adopted country as a way to justify to himself the choices he has made. Anyway, the data was too little to confirm. Around the time when a large amount of gold was discovered in a Hindu temple in Kerala, en.wikipedia.org npr.org I recall dvdw posting something that implied that was a temple in his hometown or that was the temple of his worship (correct me if it was another poster, I am unable to find the post). So thats where Kerala came from. Now the Brahmin part. If he was affiliated with a Hindu Temple, he was very likely to be a Hindu. Going from there to Brahmin is not that far. Quoting his recent comments: dvdw >India had Sanskrit, which served to encrypt then draw lines that endure to this day.> Sanskrit was not the language of the masses. It is the Brahmins, i.e the priest class, who supported Sanskrit through the last 3,000 years. dvdw >This yahoo piece is superficial drama news.yahoo.com; Members of upper castes are more likely to trivialize reservations for lower castes. dvdw recommeds this blogger for great writing on India: amudu-gowripalan.blogspot.com siliconinvestor.com But this guy is a blogger from Sri Lanka, possibly Sri Lankan tamil ....how can he provide us input on a complex country like India without living there. This post of dvdw was alarming because it is killing my theory. How come dvdw could not distinguish between an Indian and a Sri Lankan blogger? Is he a westerner to whom all people from the indian subcontinent seem the same? Or is he of tamil (hindu/brahmin) lineage from Sri Lanka whose primary allegiance is towards Tamil hindus, and still likes to visit the Hindu temple in Kerala whose devotees were tamil hindus (if I have it correct about his posting about the Kerala temple)? -Arun
