Not sure about Chaurey, but at least Bathroom Coffee almost made a sound point.
He is criticizing something somebody proposed; I actually support that. We ought to have criticism, hopefully constructive, so that we can analyze the good and the bad. Using "ha ha ha" and words like "moron" doesn't help put a sound criticism; and if you want to criticize a point, you should be equally willing to hear the other side. I hope you will do that.

Like rethink stated, the offer is still valid. $10K is waiting for you.

You said changing name won't change the appearance. I tell you that you are missing the point. Changing the last name (temporarily) is not to shadow or cover once appearance. Matter of fact, I don't feel any shame keeping my last name; we ought to be proud of what we have. But on the same token, with all caste related violence we have seen, this gesture can be seen as a symbolic opposition to those violence and caste based division. Is it going to make it all good? Nobody is claiming that. We can't be satisfied with just change of name and thinking our responsibility is over; but its a start.

If you still don't see a point on doing this, why don't you NOT do it instead of discouraging and mocking everybody else who supports it.

Astu.
