Indians Searched For Hima Das' Caste After She Became India's First Gold Medallist on Track

[LASER1]

Kerala topped the list among Indian states. Communist Kerala. They are very religious underneath I guess.

Then prove that we’re not clean. Post pictures. You’re not doing anything but spewing rubbish.

LOL... why ?

Just keep away from us and we are done.

That is because "Das" is also a known surname in Kerala and people could mistake her for a fellow Keralite or Malayalee.

I had my moments of suspicion too.

For e.g. BJP Kerala president is P. K. Krishna Das.

Yes.. And given she won medal in atheletics, which used to be dominated by Kerala, I think it's natural. Yet, again. I don't understand why they search her caste instead of her location.

Because "das" is usually a low caste name in Kerala.

PT Usha was a SC/ST too.

This is the actual point, thanks for pointing in out to fellow Indians.

Can't say yet. She's 18. Let her choose a profession and we'll see.

You can choose your own caste?
Wow

I am asking this same question since beginning of this thread but no answer.

Profession has nothing to do with caste, you born in / with it.

I'm vyshya. (Trader.) I own an accounting firm.
Born a Brahmin.

And you can't choose a caste on records. The definition of caste is/was based on what you do.

जन्मना जायते शूद्रः संस्कारात् द्विज उच्यते।
शापानुग्रहसामर्थ्यं तथा क्रोधः प्रसन्नता

Cool carpet Design first of all.

I must be a Brahmin then, but I'm not a priest.

"Dare ask"? Because being a priest is not a challenging job. Accounting is.

I would not know, ask your parents if in confusion.

Profession has nothing to do and as an Indian you know better them me. Profession and caste was 100% corelated during ancient times, not anymore. may be you are one of the examples.

I'm not in any confusion, just clearing up something.

More or less. But then what is politics for. Profession and caste are still practiced in many parts.

Oh sorry you are not accustomed to be given respect.

I mean did you make the decision religiously or not
