so I will make it brief ,

In terms of Caste - I understand its not part of your religion therefore u wouldn't acknowledge it or place much value on the caste system , however saying , it's nothing is politically incorrect, even if u don't recognize something don't downsize the existence of it or lessen the value without knowing what it is .

Caste system each group has a certain type of life style which they followed, a routine .That's why when it came to marriage it is more accommodating for the Girl to marry into a household that is similar to her, Making her life more easier in transition .

Nowadays We don't have Practicing Hindus sad to say but its true. so the what caste a person is from , doesn't matter.

So if Nowadays there is Inter caste marriages i don't think it should matter too much BUT not marrying into the same Gotra , I understand that ideology

- Marrying something of a different religion now , thats hard , Cuz in the course a person will lose touch with their religion and practices, which religion to teach the children ,.

and Especially a Hindu ( a practicing One ) with Christian or Muslim would be extremely difficult cuz of vegetarianism , i know for a fact i can't stand the smell coming from the meat selection in a supermarket , forget my house.

But if both people were Indian and not very practicing Hindus n Muslims/Christians then its easier , cuz the core of the Indian culture is the same , culturally many things done by desis /indians are From Hinduism, even though people don't recognize it . so it would be easier

But different race and different religion ,- that is extremely difficult and one person will have to lose a bit of themselves and their culture.

Interracial marriage holds more significance to some than others... I guess there is no right thing nor any wrong its each to their own and what they feel is best for them ^_^

Heyy Bipin.. Thank U jee, it feels gr8 to see this section coming to life ☺️

Back to the topic-

I agree with both of you. When you truly love someone, there shouldn't be any barriers at all.

But you know, many of us have been taught to follow our culture respectively, and to pass it on to our children so they can pass it on to theirs.

Don't you think if everyone starts marrying different race, cast, culture, religion, the chain will break? Yes, people will start becoming ONE but then, you are also losing your identity. Who you are. What you are.

Is this is why us asians (mostly elders) aren't very broad-minded about such practice? I think so yes.

&& not just asians, I have a friend, she is from Greece. She is so pretty that any guy would go lala 😆 but her parents have thrown a restriction on her: She can only date/marry a greek.

My opinion..hmm, I don't know. I won't say I'm against interracial marriage because each individual should be allowed to do what they want since at some point, we all are mature enough to understand what we are doing and if it's right or wrong. However, I don't think I will ever be ready for an interracial marriage or even allow my children (whenever Mr.Hashmi is ready) to be involved in it.
