Father Monserrate, who visited Delhi in 988/1581 but completed his travel account outside India a decade later in 999/1591, mentioned Brahmins of Delhi in his commendatory :<blockquote>Delinum [Delhi] is inhabited by substantial and wealthy Brachmanae [Brahmin], and of course by a Mongol garrison. Hence its many private mansions add considerably to the magnificence of the city. For the neighborhood is rich in stone and lime, and the rich men construct for themselves well-built, lofty and handsomely decorated residences ... Time fails me to describe the lovely parks and the many residential districts on both sides of the Jomanis [Yamuna], which passes close to the city on the east. The parks and gardens are filled with a rich profusion of fruit and flowers.</blockquote>International Association of Hydrological Sciences. Scientific Assembly mentions :<blockquote>In a typical Delhi village, Jat and Brahmins are the most dominant castes.</blockquote> | '''Father Monserrate, who visited Delhi in 988/1581 but completed his travel account outside India a decade later in 999/1591, mentioned Brahmins of Delhi in his commendatory :'''<blockquote>Delinum [Delhi] is inhabited by substantial and wealthy Brachmanae [Brahmin], and of course by a Mongol garrison.
