Things About Inter Caste Marriages in India
In India, caste system has been since centuries. The mind set is still orthodox in India in spite of so much development. However, unlike past inter caste and inter religion marriages have become very common today. However, there are many people who still oppose this. However, in the urban culture, things are lot more acceptable than in rural areas.
Many orthodox people think that as marriage is a very important custom in anyone’s life it has to be based on feelings and practices performed in any particular caste. And so, they do not encourage inter caste and inter religion marriage. But in reality, marriage is beyond all this. And rather than caste, race and religion there are other things that must be thought of deeply.
The scenario today has become quite encouraging. People understand that for a marriage to be successful a couple needs to have better communication, understanding and respect for one another.
Urban Scenario
In cities, reason for such a change in the mind set is education. Thanks to the current education system that teaches people that there must be religious and social equality. And this thought encourages inter caste marriages. And only because of flexible and open mindset, many marriages with different social and religious background have been successful. But sadly, this is the urban scenario.
Rural Scenario
Even though, cities have welcomed inter caste and inter race marriages, but in villages things are different. Rural areas are still backward as far as such thoughts are concerned. People are still rigid. And so people in villages prefer that their children must marry according to the parents’ wish. And the marriage must happen in the same caste. If their children do not obey their orders then they may disown their children.
However, with the growing development in the field of science and technology there are so many things that require an alteration. And so people who are rigid must change their mindset about marriage. Marriage is actually based on understanding and mutual love. And no caste, creed, race or religion can affect the success of marriage. Marriage is much beyond all this.
