I can take a bet that you would not feel even the slightest discomfort if a person in front of you said that he was a ‘proud Sufi’ but you would conjure up all kinds of monstrosity in a person who identifies himself as a ‘proud Brahmin’. The supposed good deeds of the Sufis are meant to cancel all the bigotry and bloodshed by them, while no amount of good deeds by the Brahmins is enough to remove the albatross around their neck.
