But I have to answer that one point you have raised just for argument.
Remorse and regret are indeed normal for any human being. So that boy can regret just as Thirumangai Alwar regretted.
I am am not talking about this here. I am talking about the propensity to kill. That was there as a natural tendency in that boy because of his genes. He would have killed the seal or walrus in order to survive in an Igloo. But the girl who abhors even hurting would never kill. And according to Robert Boyd's theory the impact of her genes environment for hundreds of years is responsible for that. A Brahmin never hurts wantonly nor kills wantonly. Period.

Its just a personal stance that Brahmin = Sattva and all others will have a " killing"gene in them.
Its no different from a Jihadist claiming only Muslims go to Jannat Ul Firdaus and all others go to Hell Fire.
BTW...Robert Boyd's theory might not hold good for human behavior cos I wonder how come the Sattva gene didnt prevent Naturam Godase from pulling the trigger.
