Search "caste in proverbs" on this page to get to the right place to start: https://archive.org/stream/cu31924024114773/cu31924024114773_djvu.txt Regarding the Sonar caste (goldsmiths) --Trust not the goldsmith; he is no man's friend, and his word is worthless. -- A Sonar will rob his mother and sister; he will filch gold even from his wife's nose-ring -- A pair of rogues: the goldsmith and the man who sifts his ashes for scraps. And the slam that I first stumbled across that drew me into this book: -- If you have never seen a tiger, look at a cat; if you have never seen a thief, look at a Sonar.

"Coals to Newcastle" means to sell someone something they don't need because they already have a lot of it (Newcastle had a lot of coal). So kind of like "selling refrigerators to Eskimos." The example I always think of was a dumbass friend who brought his own weed to Oregon, crossing several "you'll do hard time for possession" states on his way, when he could get better and cheaper totally legally just down the street from the house where he was staying. So I guess the joke is "Lobars [ironsmith caste] got lots of needles, so no point trying to sell needles in the same neighborhood where everyone is making them."

The Meds (a sailing caste on the coast of Pakistan) -- The black-faced Meds are like tamarisk sparks, without any glow of courage. --The Med sailor lives by the wind and by the wind he dies. Then it just gets cruel: --The Med is wrapped up in his voyage, and his wife is wrapped up with her lover. TapTheForwardAssist fucked around with this message at 20:16 on Dec 18, 2017 |

Regarding the Sutar (carpenter) caste -- "The carpenter's face " is cited as a type of unpunctuality, since it is never to be seen at the time when he promised to come. -- "A whore's oath and a Sutar's chip " are examples of worthlessness. -- When out of work he keeps his hand in by planing his friends' buttocks.

Regarding the Baniya (money-lender caste) -- he is less to be trusted than a tiger, a scorpion, or a snake; -- he goes in like a needle and comes out like a sword; as a neighbour he is as bad as a boil in the armpit. -- If a Baniya is drowning you should not give him a hand : he is sure to have some base motive for drifting by
