In India, there are normally 3 types of rice:
1) Normal, hulled rice, by far the most common.
2) Parboiled.  This is partially hulled, and is not used as often.
3) Brown.  Probably the rarest of the 3, but still used occasionally for a
variation.

You might be able to get the last 2 at an Indian food store, and if they
don't carry it they might be able to order some for you, especially if
you're willing to buy a whole sack (obviously, this is a lifetime supply. If
you go in with some friends, this will work out better). However, since
Basmati is higher in vitamins anyway, most people don't bother with the un-hulled versions.
