Yes,in India ,Caste is a Big issue among the Hindus,Hindu Religion is divided into more than 6000 castes.When it comes to marriage,it is a regulation that your spouse must be from the same caste you belong but the Gotra( Breed) must be different.Same caste but different gotra,this is the main criteria in Hindu marriage..now a days people do inter caste marriage,but in various part of India caste system is still very powerful.
