It is more probable that the 'present India' is merely a subset of Patanjali's narrative. More than brahmins I feel he was making a distinction between deva and danava. Devas had brown & golden hair (a varient of brown hair) and Danava were distinguished by Red hair and a diluted tawny version.
the same descriptions crops up in another part of the world too.
