Sub-continent has remained under influence of caste system and its folklore is full of reference to castes and related stereotypes.

Lets try to dig in this thread such references, which became part of local proverbs, idioms, etc

I start with this about Brahmin:

Baraa(12) Brahmin baraa baat, baraa dehati ek ghaat

In Hindus, marriages between cousins is forbidden. When they saw cousin marriages in Muslims, they came up with sayings like:

'Ghar ki beti, ghar ki bahoo' and 'aadha aangan sasuraal aur aadha aangan maika'.
