- There are so many discriminating factors, that it would be impossible to
- state all of them. That is why I chose to use "etc.". For your clarification
- "etc." contains
- 1. Gender
- 2. Religion
- 3. Caste
- 4. Sub caste
- 5. native tongue spoken
- 6. economic background
- 7. State
- 8. County
- 9. City
- 10. Suburb
- 11. need I go on?

- I meant "his", in the general sense (as is used frequently) ,
- and that includes "her" too.
