For a long time, surname has been associated with religion, cast and history. Too an extent, I do believe it is true there surely is an association, but I believe more importantly it is about the people you live with. I am a joshi by surname and for some reason it does becomes a link between the different family members. For a child who learns most by example, when a joshi does good, it becomes sort of an example for us and we can relate more to it.

When I do use my surname in public, it really does not makes any difference because there is little emphasis that I do give it. However, when I am alone ,I do think about the great work my sisters and brothers do. The realization that in some way I am connected with them, with the good, does makes me feel good. Like, my brother he recently opened an organization that gives free books, clothes and food to anyone who comes there. Amazing isn’t it.

Also, in my country people with same surname often live together and speak the same regional language. So, when these people meet somewhere in isolation to the religion, it becomes so much easier and good to talk to the world about one’s one culture. Although my surname is different from my forefathers, or specifically the use is different. Our gen uses only the surname while my forefathers used two i.e. dutt joshi or kumar joshi. We tend to have no middle names. It does not stops us in feeling good about being together and doing great things.
