Guys
The point is that these race/caste/sect things are generally used to score a point against some other race/caste/sect in our society. These things are used as great dividers of people rather than aggregators. How would u like if everybody starts to introduce themselves as
"Hi i am Guybrush, i am a Caucasian (that means i have white skin), i belong to Sunni sect and to the Deobandi sub-sect and my caste is Bantwa Memon."
Now this is bound to irritate many even if my intention wasnt to irk anybody. Therefore, i say that its better to leave these social taboos only for private discussions and should not be mentioned on public boards.
Simply tell me one thing, would u like to mention these things in your CV? I dont think that you would.
