2010 September: To reach the village of Chinthula in Ranga Reddy District <http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=17.2,78.28&spn=0.1,0.1&q=17.2,78.28%20(Ranga%20Reddy%20district)&t=h>you have to travel around 60 kilometers from Hyderabad. That journey was in search of the home of R. Balaraj, who had been a Ph.D Scholar at Central University of Hyderabad <http://www.uohyd.edu.in/>. Balraj was researching on Telugu Literature <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telugu_literature>.
During the second year of his Ph.D. Balraj hung himself to death. He would have become the first Ph.D. holder from his community, even from his locality. In the tiny, two-roomed house made of laterite there were Balraj’s father, mother, two sisters and brother. He was the only literate one in the household. All others did their caste occupation: tethering cattle.
