Only one year after coming to the United States from India, Selvaraj was mugged violently by teenagers in New Haven, Connecticut. But when faced with a line-up of suspects and asked, "Who did it?" he reacted in a surprising way. His is 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.
