I was named by my mother, who was very
religious. She named my brothers Sri Bhagwan and Ved Bhagwan. After one of them
died, her mindset altered and my youngest brother was named Brijender. I belong
to a Vaishya community but never added this to my name. When my father, an
advocate, admitted me to school, he entered my name as Vishnu Bhagwan Aggarwal.
I asked him to let it be Vishnu Bhagwan. Nobody in Haryana knew that I belong
to a Vaishya community. That benefited me a lot in caste-ridden India.
