Sometimes I wonder, how is that each one of my friends happen to be so memorable a character? One among them, who is also a little more unforgettable than others, Upendra Puri, used to say, “If two people agree on everything, one of them is unnecessary”. Perhaps I didn’t have the courage to disagree openly with all, I quietly thought differently.
Few thoughts became books and another few remain as ideas.

And the books are:
Caste : The Unexplored Territories
Why caste, a relic of the dark ages, did not evolve into a modernized version in the natural course of events, though other remnants of that era gave way to modernism. Why it didn’t wither away, though there is nobody who does not earnestly say that they want to see its' demise. This book is trying to answer that by taking a unique approach the problem. Although what is vogue is to consider caste as something imposed from above, sufficient reasons are given pointing to the contrary and explaining why people would have been in more or less consonance with this system.
