inter-racial marriage

For us Indians inter-racial marriages are a big 'no-no' marrying someone that is not of the same religion, cast, or whatever is not accepted at all! Do you agree with the thinking of our parents ?( Im only 17) or do you believe that us indians should be more broad minded and accept this?

I personally kind of get where our parents are coming from, I live in Canada and my parents want me to marry some one who is Punjabi Sikh Jhatt! I think this might be because they are trying to preserve our culture or they could simply be their racial views considering what the goras have done to us in the past and all of that history, and because of this I cant even think of marrying anyone that isnt Sikh forget about muslim, hindu or white.

I personally would love it if my parents would let me marry a white guy because they are simply better looking 😆😳

I hope I didnt offend anyone, and would like to get all of your point of views! :)

This is a million dollar question.

Personally I would not like to paint everyone with the same brush.

There are Goras who are very good and steady and there are Indians who are terrible too.

But generally persons of the same cultural background can mix and understand things better.

Anyway why worry so much right now when you can decide after you have finished your studies.

Yes, there are people who have problems with inter racial/religious/caste marriages. At the same time, things are changing and such marriages are becoming more frequent.

People could oppose such marriages for a variety of reasons - you could be worried that your child might not be able to adjust to a different environment, you could be prejudiced against the specific race, religion or caste the person is from or you could simply be against the idea that your daughter or son can choose their life partner themselves. Could be ego, could be genuine concern.

The differences in culture, religion and other norms make it hard for interracial relationships to succeed. We might think that they are insignificant but each little difference adds up to make an interracial relationship struggles to find a common ground - as being humans we are very stubborn to adopt to other culture, religion or customs and also to give up your own
