Cunning We Indians have plenty of stereotypes for each other but none is more enduring than that of the cunning brahmin. There are other stories about brahmins of course: sometimes the brahmin is a stupid pauper, sometimes he's a dupe, and sometimes he's a wise man. But none of these have the same intensity as the stories of brahminical cunning, especially when the brahmin in question has been wronged or offended.
