Caste conscious

As India was soaking in the glory of shuttler P.V. Sindhu’s achievement in Rio, some people were more interested in finding out to which caste she actually belonged. Seriously Is this for real Does it matter which caste an Olympian and India’s sole silver medallist at Rio belongs to This shows that Indians can never be united — whether in celebration or in misery. People who want to snoop in on Sindhu’s bloodline, so that they can slot her as the face of a community or caste are doing India a great disservice. Wake up guys!
