Chan Chow Take On Caste, Her Last Name


Recommended Posts

Posted

Looks like a lot of people have a lot of problem with my last name.

FYI: It's the name i've inherited from my family, It's the name that is part of all my certificates, right from my birth certificate to my graduation certificate. It is part of my IDENTITY because it is indeed my full name. I didnot one day wake up and decide to put it as my last name heck i didn't even know it had any kind of crazy influence.. it was just a name to me.. MY NAME, it was with me all these years. It was just a name until.. until the day i entered the industry and next thing you know Most of them start accusing me of 'CASTE FEELING'. That I'm apparently crazy about this whole caste system.

All this while, while i was being accused of this 'caste' disease, I've never once heard about it other than in papers about some fights and mob problems based on caste. I never paid heed to it because it isn't my territory or space of interest. Infact I had to ask my parents this, 'They say i have caste feeling, mom can you please tell me which caste we are in and how can one be caste crazy?'.
And that's when i realised that my last name is actually name of some caste in this Indian system and that a lot of people often encourage or are obsessed with their particular 'caste', and also heard abt the different other castes and thats when i realised all these last names of my friends are actually castes.. I'm sure you might be thinking that this is utter rubbish, but trust me, I could careless about trying to elaborate something which is false to change ur opinion if it weren't true.

 

Let me tell you something,with the kind of upbringing i had and the kind of educational background i come from I've never, not once exploited or passed a single comment based on a person's taste, choice of clothing, their orientation, their preference, their educational or family background, let alone about their caste. To me last name of a person is just that, A LAST NAME. I don't associate people based on what 'caste' they come from. It's funny trying to explain myself but I don't want people to keep asking me this 'ARE YOU A CASTE CRAZY PERSON?' ever again, the people in my friend's list will probably laugh because they know who i'm as a person and this is just not me.
Infact let me in on you some fun facts..

My best friends, most of them are christians.. infact I go to church on sundays because i like the atmosphere and teachings of bible.
Two of my very good friend s are atheists
My roommate was a muslim and i used to take part in her ramzan activities.
I go to temples and from the type of school i come from we used to learn slokas and have bhajans and prayer sessions.
It is not healthy to talk about such topics which instead of building us as a society and nation it is tearing us down and dividing us making us against each other.

Please don't involve yourself in such fruitless things and please PLEASE STOP DRAGGING ME INTO THIS, because it is not right. You can't time and again accuse someone of something they didn't do and all this because of a name i've lived with all my life.
Maybe some actors didn't include their last names,that's their choice you cannot rub their preferences and choices on me the same way I don't rub my personal choices on any of you. I know people who don't write their last names it's their preference. My last name is part of my identity because that's how my teachers, professors, friends and neighbours know me. Chandini can be anyone only if you add my last name will people recognise me and will an image of my face or identity form in their minds.

Let's not kid ourselves, even a lot of you fine people when someone comes up to you and says 'Did you know Chandini's new film is so and so..' I bet SOME OF YOU would ask 'Who, Chandini Chowdary?' And then some of you might ask if that's the same chandini who's done short films. But majorly its the full name which will get my familiarity across to you all.
Now tell me.. isn't that part of my identity?

So I request you please stop sending dirty disgusting messages and putting up nasty hate comments on this topic again. You cannot ask me to change my name. If I drop my last name you wont be able to recognise me because im not the only chandini in this world or in this film industry. I will not drop or change my name because it's part of my identity not even the Indian government has the right to tell me otherwise. This is the last time I'm clarifying this.

If you're still unable to understand my point of view about my personal choices about my personal, yes my name is my personal property, identity details and you have a problem with it, then it's just your problem not mine.
I hope we can put this topic to rest!
Peace.
