Isn't pant and shirt part of the western culture? When the Brits invaded other countries, they leered down on the locals. We wll make civilised men out of you by putting pants and shirt on your backs. Its a choice what you want to wear. Whatever it is you are a stronger person if you stick to your choices!

All i'm saying is you give more scope for people to give vent to their stereotype. They will interact. A person's performance or the lack of it alone will not be questioned but all such similiar background people will also be put in the scanner. See the backlash against muslims worldwide.. Visualising a bharadha vilas in movies is fine. But day to day interaction can be an issue in places like office where tempers already run high. and vatsan adutha part koncham seriousa dhaan irukkum ;) very few smileys :) vatsan,

thanks.

Once the caste layers are peeled away, then we tend to search for our identities. I see these as a part of our growing up. nice post :-) once when we believed in caste it was easy with respect to our identity.
