I’ve been asked " What’s your full name?" with an emphasis on 'full' since the very first day I started living here and then I could feel their judgemental eyes getting relaxed once they got their reply. It’s not the first time I’ve been experiencing something like this or it’s not something that only I am experiencing. This question and judgemental eyes have been following us since the day we born in India. But this question is asked more often in rural areas that I can vouch upon. I was more surprised when girls aged 9-10 years old who were from so called upper caste asked me the same question with the same judgemental eyes and while replying to them I felt a sigh of relief somewhere deep inside when their eyes relaxed. I went into deep introspection that why did i felt relief ? What if I didn’t belong to certain caste then what would I have felt being interrogated by such young girls? I won’t say that I haven’t questioned reservation system and not being judgemental when someone else got selected with lesser marks than I. But what I could conclude from here is that people from our generation living in urban areas do reservation based casteism due to one’s own failure. Failure! Yes because I haven’t seen successful people cribbing over it. But in rural areas it’s embedded purely on the basis of caste since the very beginning which is dangerous! You and I, of this generation, know that this is not going to end soon but at least we can keep our children away from such mentality and not let this infiltrate further.
