Welcome
to the 21st century where inter caste marriage is slowly if not at a
velocious rate becoming a non issue . But still a lot of stigmas are
associated with inter caste marriages. Still many families and the
society in particular do not approve of inter caste marriages and
thus leading to honour killing. Honour killing of couples goes on in
various states of India, though their is nothing to honour about so
called “honour killing”.
Everyone
knows that India is a diverse land that swank of having different
culture, traditions and religions,but what is the point of having
such different variety when people just cannot digest the very
thought of their integration. Also one of the best solution to stop
racial discrimination according to region , religion , caste, etc I
belief is the amalgamation of different caste in the form of
marriage. It will also help the next progeny to learn two different
cultures and values which will help them to become better human
beings. Their is something for every one of us to learn from
different cultures and as Indians we must feel proud of having such a
strong traditional backbone with us.
For those
who belief that Inter caste marriage is prohibited according to our
traditions I would like to bring to your understanding that the holy
book of Hindus “The Gita “ Lord Krishna does not say anything
against inter caste marriages. Infact Lord Krishna says that a person
is qualified to a caste according to two qualities.
1. Guna
(personal quality).
2. Karma (aptitude for a particular type of work).
He makes no mention of Varna (caste) being determined by birth.
So we
should make our choices not on the basis of to whom she or he was
born but on his/her personal quality. This attitude of specially our
younger generation will make india a much stronger country and will
take India to new heights.
