In 1947, few people gave us 75 years.
Bloody hell, here we are!
It is up to us to make this country the best version of itself.

Fascinating.
#TIL that Shammi Kapoor was one of the first users of the Internet in India
He was the founder & chairman of the Internet Users Club of India. I can't wrap my head around how someone like Shammi Kapoor was in the thick of the internet movement in India?

Perhaps your surname already reveals your caste? If you have never had anyone be concerned about your caste, if it has never been an issue for you, then you are probably upper caste.

I doubt @sundarpichai either has the inclination or the power to confront casteism.
Google canceled a talk by an Indian Dalit activist after employees targeted her, saying she was "anti-Hindu."
Thenmozhi Soundararajan appealed to CEO Pichai — who belongs to an upper caste Hindu family — with no result.
25% of U.S. Dalits report facing verbal/physical abuse.
