Whoever makes/repairs Shoe should be called
by Tathagata Mukherjee on Dec 01, 2007 04:35 PM

Whoever makes Shoe should be called "Mochi".

CASTE IS NOT BIRTH BASED. IT WAS BASED ON PROFESSION WHERE ONE'S SON USED TO TAKE FATHER PROFESSION.

The larger point is: This is a proverb. Hindi is not my mother tongue, neither I asked anybody. But I am pretty sure.

IT MEANS SOCIAL UPWARD MOBILITY.
