... Stereotype

[On board of a bus travelling to Hyderabad from Bengaluru. The person sitting next to me strikes up a conversation.]
:
[He] I don't know why, but so many people have mistaken me for a Brahmin.
[I smile but don't say anything]
[He] It has happened many a time. They say, I look like a Brahmin.
[I just nod my head]
[He] I mean I'm a Hyderabadi Muslim and I wonder how people can take me for a Brahmin.
