Is Gukesh D of Brahmin caste too?

There is no doubt that Pragg and Vaishali are of Brahmin caste. And Pragg painted the unique symbol on his forehead times before.
But Gukesh didn't show such sign, and no reports and talking about his caste. Since he and Pragg are from the same region of India, is Gukesh a Brahmin too?

Dommaraju is a family name from Andhra Pradesh that is associated with the Kshatriya caste, also known as the "Rajulu" caste. The term "Raju" is a Telugu variant of the Sanskrit word "Raja", which means "monarch" or "princely ruler".
I hope this answer your question

No reason, I am just curious. We all know Pragg likes to paint white symbols on forehead because he is Brahmin, so just same curious about Gukesh. That's specific to person only...not Indians.
There's no need for racism here!
Please don't speak such things.
This not only would hurt any "Dalit" person seeing this, but also any other Indian, or other civilian of any other country, especially if they have been discriminated themselves!
I still usually study high school study and I know how harsh it was for "them" in the British Raj.
