Schwarze Männer und Frauen durften sich nicht zur Abstimmung anmelden. Meine eigene Mutter, mein eigener Vater, mein Großvater, meine Onkel und Tanten konnten sich nicht registrieren, weil sie jedes Mal versuchten, sich für die Stimmabgabe zu registrieren, dass ihnen die Alphabetisierungsprüfung nicht bestanden wurde.

Most of my work is based in Hyderabad, so it makes sense that I own a house here. Another reason I want a home here is because I want to have my own kitchen so that I can cook, since I hate food from hotels.
