I agree with everything you said..this is what I have heard too..

"We hear that Jhapali baahuns are the most "dhurta".  Or that the Shyangjali baahuns can beat those jhaapali baahuns in "dhurta-ness" in sleep. " I, however, do think compare to brahmins from ktm..brahmins esp from jhapa and syanja are pretty cunning...I think anybody who has expereince living in more places and more exposure would be..so their smartness is not always BAD. just like Nepalis are more cunning than native-whites in this country..atleast thats how I feel, because we are exposed to one more culture and country..BUT, to be honest, I do prefer western Nepal brahmins over eastern Nepal.  And brahmins from ktm over western & eastern Nepal..Then I sort them based on which of the 3 diff types of brahmins they are.. See, so I guess its hard to find a good brahmin..lol..so much filtering..lol..

BUT--Not all brahmins have long nose or have fairer skin. I grew up NOT liking most brahmins too. But I made too many exceptions like I only liked my relatives...lol..they, to me , were not like other brahmin in my school..they were nice to me..so they were good and thus I developed the list of  brahmins I liked lol.  Soon I realized there are good and bad people in every cast.e. But not all brahmins have long nose and fair skin..Some look like white europeans and some dark like south indians..some have long nose..some very short..some had big eyes, some had almond shaped eyes..some asian..some inbetween...

However, I know what you mean Parakhi..though I think its kinda sad that you would write something like that!   Just like your mom, Aba meri aama ko kura sunni ho bhaney ta "brahmin dusta ra nyaaar ishta kaile huncha??." yet my friends and best friends are all nay-wars...the food I make at home is highly naywari influenced..I find myself more comfortable around nay-wars than others...but i know not all nay-wars like that..so I take my caution when necessary...

I guess I am lucky to have friends of all castes so I don't feel such prejudice..looks like you need to meet some nice brahmins..they are not all that bad although you  do have to be careful  with them..just like with any person from any caste, creed, color, or nationality...
