hi
i dont know from proof but my family are known as syeds, i have known this since a kid, but not really seen it as a big thing, i mean i hardly know much about islam and only got into it not long ago. i don't think we syeds are big headed at all, maybe there are some who are but i certainly don't know of any.
I do understand there's alot of traditional values and rules that are taken by syeds that show a difference, a line between syeds and non-syeds. But i was in a sufi shiekhs talk once and a speaker mentioned, when a syed does good he gains double the reward compared to a non-syed and when a syed does bad he again is given double the sin, this is all due to his holy blood link being another part of him.
I myself do not know where these traditions have come from, but i don't see myself any different from anyone. Im not sure if this is what you mean by bigging themselvs up? Did you mean by the values and traditional status (some would call backwards lol) they give themselves or are we talking about how individual syeds portray themselves as and how they seem to judge others from a non syed line?
thanks
