Bhedkut The Intro.....

Bhedkut .................Pronounces as a strange word ! One who listens to it becomes strange at once . Actually , it's the name of my caste . As long as i lived in my village ( my birthplace ) every one knew about my caste . But when i came to city , no one knew about it. If anybody knew it , he would say it is a lower caste to which a few people belong . When i entered to collage i recognized myself as a schedule caste candidate and i submitted my caste certificate , the collage principal looked at me strangly , he asked me what the caste was that ? After that i was rarely asked about my caste . And when anyone asked i had to avoid to tell .If i tell you the truth , at any corner of my heart i felt ashamed of my caste's name . I tell you one more incidence when i have to go to attest my schedule caste certificate in relation to my job , the chairperson looked at the certificate and said that he never heard about this caste .At the time of counselling for admission in any course , my educated brothers and sisters has to show our caste's name in the schedule caste list given in the prospectus . Then i realized that i must collect the facts about my caste's origin and evolution . I set on my laptop and searched at the internet .But i found '' Bhedkut '' name only in the caste list of some prospectus of educational institutes . I could not get any information on internet . Then i went to my elders to enquire about the origin and nomenclature of our caste . I found no written history or information about our caste but i got some informations from my elders which has come from our ancestors orally .And what i am tring to write here.
