Let's not add surname to the names of our children.

"I will not add any surname to my children. I will try to eradicate the religion and caste based discrimination. but only if 1,000 other people will do the same."
— bagdevi, The Altruist.

That's what by pledge says at http://www.pledgebank.com/altriuist

This is the place for the people who considers themselves to be human beings,not a hindu, muslim or christian.We have witnessed that religion and caste based division is a great problem for the human race and this is the root cause of most of the agitations. Friends, if we believe there should be no caste and religion based division, we should find ways to eradicate it. I have a way. We can't apply it for ourselves, but we can apply this on the next generation. Let's name our offspring without a surname. May be they will still remember to which caste/religion they belong. But the differences will reduce and by the time our grand children are being named, caste and religion feeling will be still lesser. May be this is a time consuming procedure, But I m sure it will work. So please join with me. Let's discuss more ways to eradicate this chronic disease from our society. We can respect any or many religion according to our acceptability but Let's be no Theist or Atheist, just be ALTRUIST.
