“The most difficult thing for me right now is persuasion. Only if people were more willing to listen, everyone’s life would be easy. For example, my family wants me to get married and they emphasize on same caste marriage. I tell them that castes were a tool for division of labor and not for discrimination and certainly not for marriage. We can’t be talking about caste in these times. Some wise man said “Manisa Thulo Dila Le Huncha Jata Le Hudaina.” Now that, I agree with.”
