Well, as a Khatri from Punjab, we know too well about thalassemia in our biradari. It is true that staying within our community for generations has passed these genes along. But I see my cousins marrying outside, and still, the fear in our mothers' eyes is the same during match-making—it is not just community, it is the silence around it. My own sister's haemoglobin report is the first thing asked for, not her degree, and that is the real disease we must cure.
