Lonelyji, I appreciate your comments and questions very much. Some quick notes. > What if a person asks to change the surname back and forth? >How many times is he allowed to switch his surnames in his life? Why would anyone do that ? Changing surnames back and forth many times will be more inconvenient for the person him/herself than to the society, wouldn't it ? So, I guess this kind of things will not happen much. If there is really chances for too much of this happening, we can limit it to only one time. When I said any time, I was actually only emphasizing that it should not be limited to children when they are registered (in Gabisa or school). Adults too should have that chance. That's all I meant. >A "pode" in our society may change his surname but he cannot >change his occupation, because that is what he knows probably >how to do. If he had more education, then probably he would >have more options. Moreover, even if he changes his surname >to let's say "Upadhyaya", our unjust society will never ever give >him the respect which he deserves as a human being. I agree that mostly educated and mobile people will benefit from this. Once again, I turn to my "prayer of serenity". Let's try to change what we can. For the rest, we will need serenity to accept them. Nepe
