I am refered to as doctor in our community but she is not.It's not a title i claim rights to it's just how it is.To her phD candidates she might be refered to as prof or Doctor.
'entirely possible but in India ,people don't refer to phDs as doctors in the society'
Your words not mine. THAT's the very definition of generalizing. O.o Hun. I honestly do not care about this show that much to debate with you, it's been fun but I have little patience.
