The first time that Sandeip Vishnoi remembers facing any prejudice for being left-handed was when there was a puja in his home when he was little. He had been entrusted with the job of serving food after the religious ceremony was done with. But when he offered it to the pandit who had been invited, the man bluntly refused, saying he couldn't accept it since the hand that Vishnoi was using was "achhut".
