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!

We're not exactly be the way like old people. Our dressing style, way of talking, interests are changed a lot. Like that the peoples mentality on this cast system should be changed.

Yes true, but do you really think that marrying between two different Caste's would really bring a solution? Won't that bring a even worser situations among the family?

Yes it may get worst, but the people who getting married prove it wrong by living successfully. Then only the future generation forgot about caste isn't a factor for marriage.
Mark my words, My wedding isn't an inter cast marriage. I don't expect someone to change the system, I'll be the change.

The new generation getting so many experience. The proper education guide them to treat everyone equally. Then this caste system will faded away I think. For that change thins younger generation should change their mind set, simply the caste isn't a priority thing for marriage.

That's really good but don't you think that marriages between two different castes could even break out race riots? First it will be a family problem then it might even end up in race riots this is what I personally think.

The caste system belong in same race, not in different race. First we need to remove that. If the parents ready to accept happiness of their kids is most priority than their fake prestige then everything will be solved.

Then today's younger generation will be parents tomorrow. So we have a responsibility change this. If we wait someone to do, then it'll continue like a chain.
