I wonder exactly what would've been changed with the input of the average Indian person. What is man that ye shall know him? Would it be Apu or a name with another rose?
I also have a problem with the whole 'punching down/up' nomenclature. As long as the intention is to punch at all, then I think you're coming from the wrong angle, especially as - depending on the trajectory - it seems to try and justify different things. A lot of 'punching down' seems in good spirit, whereas 'punching up' is specifically designed to agitate.
