Assume that you are meeting a person for the first time who is standing in front of you. What would be your introductory question to him? Or how would you start your conversation? You would ask his name first. Then what?
For example, he says his name is Ajay. Then your would be something like this, "Ajay?"
You would wait for him to say his surname, right?
That's what we typical people do. A proper noun is never enough for us just for an introduction. I mean, that person himself is there in front of you, you can see him. You know his name now. You know his voice now. You know how he appears now. But no. That's not it. You have to know his surname. Why? Because you are eager to know his proper introduction which is accomplished by his caste and religion.
Once you get to know such detail, you will analyze him mentally even if you don't say it loudly.
This is how we educated people meet a stranger!
But what is the logic behind this? Why does such thing matter?
We are the people of 21st century. Why do we still believe in such things? Let me clarify one thing. There is nothing bad in knowing someone's surname, caste and religion, but the very next moment, analyzing him/her in mind, even subconsciously, has become our mindset.
Sometimes surname is not enough to know his caste, people ask him straight about his caste. That's the height. On asking, instead of answering, one should ask counter question, "Why do you want to know? Aren't my name and face enough for my introduction?"
To know a person better, any logical person would ask his education, qualification, profession. But No. One cannot stop himself from asking.
Caste classifies people.
Simplicity is the best wealth one can have. If you've got knowledge, share it, if you've got intelligence, implement it, if you've got money, help poor, but why to flaunt it? Swanking is one more disease that our society is suffering from.
The simpler you are, the wealthier you are. Really. People will respect your simplicity. And more than that, they will appreciate it.
We all should change with the time. Opinions are very important. But flexibility is equally necessary.
Accept the fact, embrace the change, be simple and enjoy the life.
