Good luck with your research on the origins of these people. There have been many, many theories and several books written on the subject. Perhaps the most colorful notion is that they are descended from some of the troops who fought for Alexander the Great and stayed on in India.
I look forward to reading what you find out.

Hi Ian it's a bit like a drug the more you delve the more you want to delve further.
Thanks for the encouragement.
