Re: [INDOLOGY] Śākadvīpīya brahmans

[Dipak Bhattacharya]

I just remembered that in the late eighties or the nineties Prof. B.N.Mukherjee discovered some evidence of the presence of Sakadviipii Brahmins in Bengal at the close of the ancient period, perhaps 2nd or 3rd century CE. Professor Mukherjee was not in good health when I last tried to contact and was not available for communication.

Dear Dominik, Madhav and Dipak, 
Perhaps still not THE most but at least MORE up to date (list of relevant publ. in chronological order, 1812-1976, at the end) is: 
"MiΘra in India and the Hinduized Magi" by H. Humbach in Acta Iranica 17 (1978): 229-253. 
Nagendra Nath Basu's publication not mentioned though.

he referred to the older account of the community available in Nagendra Nath
Basu’s Vanger jātīya itihās ‘Caste history of Bengal’,
Brāhmaṇakhaṇḍa (=Vol.1).
Basu has other writings on them, in English too, but these require corrections
and are not dependable.

What did it mean to a twelfth to seventeenth-century author to identify himself as belonging to a Śākadvīpīya family?  Would such a family have retained cultural links to Central Asia and Eastern Iran, to Seistan?  I would have thought not.  But is there any scholarly exploration of this issue?
