RE:Who is brahmin?

Why are you trying to put a notch between the earlier years and the present 21st century? The brahmins of the earlier century are not comparable with the present ones.
Should not one change alongwith the time? Leave about brahmins. For that matter people from each and every religion have to adapt themselves to the demanding pattern of the day.
A person does not become a brahman (to be regarded as such, except for filling in forms & papers) by birth, it is by what he does in his daily life. Our ancestors have specified some daily routines. More than that, the vedhas say what one has to do everyday.
If a brahman does not do what he is supposed to, he gets the punishment for that. The same thing holds good for everyone. Every religion has something for those who follow it.
Today, its very hard to see more people (who proudly claim that they represent a religion) following the traditions and rituals.
Let's better not talk about this, because it is going to be worse in the coming days.
