CEO Comments on Boston Brahmins Link to Viral Video
A CEO from Bengaluru is speaking out about online chatter that is connecting a concert video to the Brahmin community.
The video features a person with ties to the 'Boston Brahmins', an elite group in Boston.
This term was used by a famous author in a book to describe the city's wealthy families, who are descendants of the first English settlers.
The CEO believes that being proud of her Brahmin heritage is just like people of other groups taking pride in their background.
