As the glass flew across the room and straight into the wall, a dozen or so men stopped drinking their tea.
Dr Vinod Sonkar threw money on the counter - enough for the tea he drank and the glass he had smashed - and walked out.
Dr Sonkar's soft voice turns angry as he describes the scene.
For years, he says, he worked hard to leave behind his childhood of poverty, abuse at school and teasing at university.
By the time he had walked into the Rajasthan teashop, he had turned his life into a success story.
He had a PhD in law and a teaching position at a Delhi university.

"In that case, wash your glass when you are done," the shop owner said.
"He didn't want to touch whatever I had touched. I made it impure. I am an untouchable," says Dr Sonkar.
