Having your caste name or pind name is no bad thing.

How many Ranjit Singh's are there in the world? But there aint as much Ranjit Singh Doad's for example. Just be practical.

Using your family name doesnt mean your proud of your caste.

I use my family name, but never feel proud about it.

and Jagmeet veerji, Rai isn't a caste.

Agree there would too many name clashes and confusion if people didnt use thier surname. Its a choice nothing wrong

with Harminder Singh Sandu.

Theres loads of castes and tribes all over the world and in all types of Society.

Lets look at England, Brummies come from Birmingham, Cockneys come from London Scoucers come from Liverpool etc you could say thats a caste, caste can be there to identify people but shouldnt discriminate.

Finally someone who agrees :D lol

If this is the case, it could easily be rectified by applying a suitable middle name, such as that of the childs father or mother

Why should we expect society to be perfect in its interpretation

Anyone who is into Physics will know that the scientific confusion created by negative electrons being denoted with (-), could easily have been rectified if it was actually called the protein (+), so the world goes on in arrogance.

There are other modifiers that could easily be used to overcome the great name issue, especially as the options such as DOB and parents names can easily be counted upon modern computer systems, which actually have to handle the great task of large name databases in the first place.

Fateh Ji,

Guru Gobind Singh Ji gave his Sikhs the surname Singh and Kaur. Usage of other surnames thus should have discontinued. However sadly we continue with Jaath Paath.

Some say that usage of Singh or Kaur causes a problem of identity because there could be more than a few Santokh Singhs and Nirmal Kaurs living in one City, town or village. Well that us why in Punjab villages the usage of Father's name is common as the middle name. In the case of Ladies after marriage the husband's name is used as the middle name.

Some use their village name as the surname and soon this becomes like a surname. Like take Badal or Barnala.

Sadly in many marriages jaath paath are still a consideration.

Ironic thing is the inventors of the caste HIERARCHY - hindus -they do not have caste based mandirs (in the UK- not sure about else where)

Yet Sikhs have caste based Gurdwaras in nearly every town and city.

There should be a Hukamnama issue by Sri Akal Takht to ban Sikhs attending any Gurdwara based on jhaat paat.

Or.. Sikh youth bodies collectively raise the issue

If we do nothing, nothing changes.. next generation will look at us and say we sold out
