Syed/Sayyid title among South Asians?

This is mostly a question for South Asians but I have noticed that a lot of South Asian desis have the Syed title in their name, indicating noble descent. Are all these people really descended from the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)? They look no different in their facial features (or actions) compared to non-Syed muslims or even hindus. Whenever I hear people extolling the virtues of their Syed title, I really want to call them out on it and say that their ancestors were hindu/buddhist but I hold my tongue in case I am in the wrong. Is there any truth to this Syed title?
