Following points to the tantri's (and yours) Arab background: 1) Indian Brahmins put a holy thread around them, well, so did the ancient Persians (and that too much before the Indian Brahmins). 2) Indian Brahmins worshipped the 5 elements of nature including 'holy fire' so did the ancient Persians (and that too much before the Indian Brahmins). 3) The language of the Indian Brahmins is very close to that of the ancient Persians. 4) Indian Brahmins distinctly look like Arabs compared to other castes. 5) Like Persians they deny their true ancestry and imagine themselves to be Aryans. 6) Like so many middle eastern people the Brahmins claim that they are God's chosen people.
