Why change our system, irrespective of the pros and cons, just because some people find it difficult while traveling?Mambalam Manihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03758942835278267670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15891023.post-39803795855716593562009-08-21T01:21:46.989+05:302009-08-21T01:21:46.989+05:30I don't use my surname either.

But it's by choice rather than a custom. <br /><br />In India surname usually identifies a person's caste, the region he/she is from and all the things like that. Somehow I don't like being categorized that way especially with all the caste and region politics going on in India. (And please don't tell me that it is not an issue in daily life. We, Indians, are the biggest racist/discriminators in the world.)<br /><br />I am me. Like me for being me and not which caste or area I belong to. <br /><br />I like being given that freedom by our constitution: having only one name. It creates a lot of problems for me but still I am holding out.Richahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00567916687338546057noreply@blogger.com
