Name-sake

What's there in the name? Naam me kya rakha hai? 

Well, the answer is identity.

A name says whether you are male or female. The first name says which religion you belong to. The last name says which caste you belong to. First and last name put together tells which part of the country you belong to. A pretty long name says, either you are south indian or from Saudi Arabia (with that I mean the gulf countries).  An unconventional name says that you are very young or born to modern parents. A name starting with letter 'A' says much about your parents. They want you to sit in the first bench in school-college. If one doesn't have a surname, kudos to the parents. They don't want the society to judge their child on his/her caste. And the list goes on. 

So a name is just not a name. Its an Aadhar card with out being an Aadhar card.
