Review - French Le romanLes Brahmanes, publie en 1866 au Portugal par l'Indien de Goa Francisco Luis Gomes (1829-1869), pourrait etre considere comme etant non seulement le premier ouvrage de fiction anticolonialiste de l'histoire de la litterature moderne, mais encore celui qui a le premier attaque frontalement le systeme hindou des castes. L'auteur a encore l'audace de promouvoir dans son livre un mariage interethnique, au moment meme ou les theories raciales faisaient irruption en Occident. La perspective chretienne de l'auteur - un catholique liberal elu au le Parlement portugais - reserve pourtant de mauvaises surprises au lecteur avise.
