I am a Non-sikh Indian and totally loved this idea of same last names. In our society people judge you based on your last name (caste) and I never liked it. My son's last name is Singh.

Re:The Indian sanitary pad revolutionary

I am from north India and agree that menstruation is still taboo in our culture (mostly in villages).
-During menstruation cycle women (mostly married) sleep in separate room, they are not supposed to touch anything and after 4 days all the clothes/bedding they wear/use (even mattress) will be washed.
-Most of these rules are tied to religion.
-I think when these "rules" were started there were no sanitary pads, so may be this was done for hygiene sake, but today it doesn't make any sense. And I think in those days if someone wanted people to follow anything just say its required by your religion and people will blindly follow.
-This guy is doing really great work, happy that BBC picked it up.
