CASTEISM AND HONOR KILLINGS
There are 4 types of castes in India, where people believe that to marry within the same caste is better than to marry a lower caste person. In many parts of the northern India like Haryana, U.P. , Jharkhand, Some parts of Rajasthan. The Hindu scholars, they say that whatever is written in the ancient Hindu texts, should be followed by the persons. A person should marry within his own castes, otherwise the future generations will be the spoilt ones. People in the 21st century era still believe in this thing, though some people nowadays get mixed together to know about their backgrounds.
There was a case in the Delhi where a Brahmin girl and a Kayastha boy loved each other. the boy proposed him but she refused as her family was very conservative. But, however, they got engaged within a month secretly. Her father started finding groom for her daughter within his own caste, but he came to know about this. Her father tortured to her for several days, she was now in a depression state and could not do anything about it. Instead of fighting against injustice, she committed suicide.
People should keep one thing in mind. Time has changed, We're changing. World is quite different now as compared to 7th century. The Indian constitution permits the inter-caste marriages. Old religious texts are not our laws now. Constitution of India is our right and we shall follow that only. Jai hind !
