I lost touch as I went abroad and returned after 10 yrs. Accidentally met him after nearly 15 yrs. Was practising as a Gen Surgeon in a Mumbai suburb.
The most noticeable thing was that he had changed his family name. I asked him what happened?
His words...2/n

"They see my family name & patients won't come to me. They don't want a Dalit Dr even if I am competent. My children won't get admission into a private school even if I can afford the fees, bcoz they don't want a Dalit.
He said, practice picked up remarkably once...3/n

he changed his family name. His children also got admission into a pvt school.
He also took pvt Marathi lessons so he could speak like savarnas & no one could identify him from his language
This is how caste discrimination works even in our cities.
