After you are done with chest thumping and claiming credit for all things successful,
Can you or your cohorts tell us what is the current status of Aryan invasion theory? Are there any studies available on tambrahm genetic make up?

TBT

I don't care about AIT.

What genetic makeup you are talking about?

There are so many Brahmins in TN who are literally Black. How could be they genetically different from other castes?

There is a theory that some Kashmiri pundits came down south long time ago. They converted some Tamilians to Brahmins and made them priests. It seems the fair skinned brahmins could be the result of Kashmiri Pundits marrying local women in TN.

Bottomline: It is the sub-culture. Genetics plays a very insignificant part.

The chest thumping raises the issue of nature vs nurture.
the matrimonial exclusivity and limitation of procreation activities to matrimony in Indian caste system provides useful data for nature vs nurture. It is confounded by cultural influence.

In this the chest thumping is implying both nature (hence the genetic question) and nurture (superior culture including hard work and sacrifice of happiness to achieve goals).

If science says it is only or overwhelmingly genetics then it is another discussion. But if t both or significantly more cultural then other groups can seek and emulate the successful characteristics. Hence the questions.
If all you care about is occassional chest thumping looking at other iyer success you can ignore my questions.
