Your home village might not be all you need, but it's part of the overall investigation that some Indians do to "figure out" someone's caste. I've seen it happen to my dad all the time when we're in another city or country. Stop pretending like you don't know what I'm talking about. You're either lying to yourself or being ignorant. I'm sure many things in the article are embellished, but stop reducing other people's experiences.

> but it's part of the overall investigation that some Indians do to "figure out" A village is next to useless in terms of identifying one's caste. > I've seen it happen to my dad all the time when we're in another city or country. How? There are more than six million villages in India. Do these people maintain a distributed database of some sort? > I'm sure many things in the article are embellished How much of it is embellishment is exactly what I'm wondering. > but stop reducing other people's experiences. Maybe come up with a convincing argument rather than ask people to take your word for it.
