Sunnydev and Balbhadra, What I proposed, as I have emphasized, should be taken as complimentary to all other approaches in practice or available to do away with the casteism and discrimination. Education, laws against discrimination and affirmative actions must go together with this one. Talking about the affirmative action, it is necessary that we should devise ways to avoid changed surname being problem to implement that. The mechanism needs to be worked out. In some situation, particularly where confidentiality is desired, this might be trickier. Thank you Balbhadraji for bringing up this issue. Nepe
