Discrimination: Name that killed


Did you read the news about an Indian boy from a lower caste killed for sharing the same name as a youngster from a higher caste? If it's true, It's really absurb!!!

Why should the boy change his name just because it's the same name as the other youngster? Is he afraid that people will mistaken the two of them? "Oh... Neeraj (the victim) had done something bad", then another Neeraj (the suspect) would feel that he is being accused? Goodness... What are they thinking? If they are form higher caste, they should be more educated. They should be able to tell what's really matter and what not... But apparantely they not always are...

What is a meaning of a name if you do not behave yourself properly? For example, your name is "Glory", but you act like an asshole, guess what, people will identify you as "That Glorious Asshole." Or if you have a name of a president, but you act like a criminal, it does not earn you the respect that the president may have.

Gosh~ I am really upset after reading the news =(
