many of them are descended from Brahmans or Kshatriyas of the 

 plains. But their mixed lineage is undoubted, and it is therefore the 

 more remarkable that the rank and privileges of the 2d order of Hin- 

 duism have been conceded to them under a strict Hindu regime — a 

 striking proof that Brahmanism is not the unalterable institute which 

 some Europeans of note have represented it to be. Capt. C. supposes 

 he has discovered many traces of the aboriginal Khas in the Nor-west.
