Revision history [back]

I am even scared to say it on here. But how do I repond to Punjabi people who ask me about my last name ? They are obviously jatts and I am not.

This has been an issue I have faced my entire life , I am born into a Sikh family but we are of a lower caste

it took a lot of struggle from my family to rise above , all my family consist of doctors and I am becoming a doctor right now.

But this question has still always haunted me , so what's ur last name? What are you? This all comes from Punjabi people. They are not going to see how smart I am , they are not going to see my spiritual discipline, they won't see my dedication . that one question , when asked , devalues my accomplishments completely , I don't even know what to say anymore . I used to make excuses (you name it and I have given all of them)

But right now as I am getting older I am exhausted , please tell me how do I respond as a Sikh , when Punjabi people ask me about my caste?
