Only one year after coming to the United States from India, Selvaraj was mugged violently. But when faced with a line-up of suspects and asked, "Who did it?" he reacted in a surprising way. It's a story about mugging, ragging, and the caste system as seen through the eyes of a guy that many Americans have a hard time figuring out.
"I walked a couple of streets and then I called 911." I remember seeing Selvaraj the night he was mugged. He was shaking and a wad of tissue was plugged up his bloody nostril. That same night, a police officer lined up four suspects and asked Selvaraj to identify the attacker. He was seventy percent sure he saw the guy.
