Natural resonance theory ...

What do you do when you meet a person ? try getting a rough idea how he is. In India we start categorizing, well I know all you 'self-proclaimed-philosophers-cum-samaj-sudharaks' would bring out your knives against this religionists, cast based categorization, division on the ground of language (or accent) or locality, but from where I belong we do it all the time.

Any Indian that I meet (I'm using 'I' for sake of representation, we all know 'we' do it all the time) any India, I broadly classify him either from north, south (North-Easterner's are not much seen here) or from Maharashtra from his looks. Sometimes looks tell you about religion too and you have successfully broadly classified a person.

The next step involves, a polite conversation, The accent is enough to further classify the person on basis of his region. (In Maharashtra you can easily distinguish person from khandseh, kokan, widharba, marathwada, paschim-maharashtra or mumbai , pune just by accent of their Marathi).

Once this is done, we move onto the next part, we ask for surname and 'tada' our experience for these past year helps us to know his cast, sub-cast and if you belong to that sub-cast then category too !

somewhere, In next ten year or so, when Gay marriages would not be a dream and being gay would not be frowned upon I wonder on what level would a man be classified as gay, str8 or bisexual ...
before his religion, or before is locality or before linguistic classification...

 when the distinction should be between a good person and a bad person, my heart weeps when I look at the true state of society....
