If I'm right, this is what is happening in most of our homes.

Don't you guys think this is kind of an odd thing? A hurting thing especially if it a Love marriage? We know that this can't be literally stopped since this has uhmm I think the right word to be used here is '' TRADITION'' for us if I'm right?
And religion is a problem as well, it is like we can't marry a person from a different religion if we do so either we would be chased out of our house or even killed

We all know that this can't be stopped, maybe you guys would have an idea on how to prevent this or something like that, so it would be great if you guys could go on and share your thoughts!

It's one of their technique to preserve caste system for years.But I have seen a prominent change in the way our generation people approach the caste system.In my view the caste system is being reduced in many areas, not totally ,but atleast a step forward.Inter caste marriages are one of the major reasons for that.However we do need to take some steps to abolish caste system.Especially in those areas where it is being followed as a tradition.

Hi sheero!

Your point does makes sense, but don't you REALLY think that caste system should be fully abolished? I think that it is not even a necessity, it just differentiates people and their relationships. If I'm right?

It does differentiates people but not based on the contemporary factors. If you really need a caste system that matches to the current society, then you have to certainly revise them back because the caste system is mainly based on the types of job they did years ago! It doesn't match that much with the ones we do these days.

But,if you revise them now, I'm sure it needs to be revised again within a century or half !
