While reading, I stumbled upon references to Alexander's seize of brahmin towns in what would today be called Pakistan. Googling did not fetch much information, most results are just references to a book by P Eggermont.
- Does some one know of other sources I can read upon?
- I find "brahmin towns" a little strange. In present day India, I do not think there are any single-caste-exclusive towns. Was this something that was widespread in the past? If yes, when did the practice of single-caste-town go out of fashion?
