Unstoppable change

                                                      
I recommend everyone to study history (particularly cultural); doctors, actors, IT professionals or whosoever want to understand how time changes and society changes for the betterment (Sometimes opposite of it) of human race.

There is change going on in Indian society because of love/social need/education i.e. inter cast/religion marriages. In past, only few powerful were privileged to do so. Therefore it is not new thing for Indian society, however this is the time when it should be supported more than ever any time in past. To be world power, more stable and to create unbiased society, India must look beyond cast and religion to avoid division of people at political, social, cultural and mental level.

Love marriages are playing a big role in creating such society. Mainly this generation is cause of this change, therefore they are going to bear price of this change. They have to fight with their parents, close relatives and society. People are being warned, tortured and killed for it; however it is keep increasing instead of being stopped.

Why society is against it? What do we gain by not allowing couple to marry? Owners of religion/society say that marriage should not be allowed in same community since they might be most likely to be sisters and brothers, which is why there should be minimum of seven generation gap(depends on society and culture) between bride and groom , if possible. Well, logical and scientific reasoning. Not allowing marriages in same community is related with human immune system . This cause is also supported by medical science. Otherwise the child which would get birth by marriage in same community will have fewer chances to survive and will have less susceptibility to deal with diseases. However, why people are against for marriages in different cast and religion, they are far apart from thousands of years, and there is no close relation at all. Is it  all because of their false pride of cast and religion.

If we see closely, we find that it is also concerned with social prestige. Parents think what society will say, what others will say, otherwise in maximum cases parents are agreed on inter cast/religion marriage for the happiness of their children. Prestige of anyone should be based on his/her moral views, education and values. It should not be based on social heredity or ancestral name and wealth.

Love marriages and its resistance is all because of self conflicting life philosophy. Parents are sending their children in co-education classes for better education and personality growth, and on the other hand they do not want their children to marry in different cast, how it is possible. First you are creating the surrounding for your children for inter-cast marriage and then opposing the same. Many times in our life we take many decisions which conflict itself at later point of time to have good/bad consequences.

I am really proud of such people who dare to take such steps and are cause of this change. They might be not aware of it but this is what their society needs it today badly. Entire Indian politics is based on cast/religion, we should think beyond cast/religion to achieve extraordinary. I hope, in next generation it should happen like nuclear chain reaction to have bigger impact for better and unbiased society. We are the cause of this change and I would like to say it evolution of human consciousness.

  1. nicely elaborated and analysed precisely I can add on that people should think of freedom and happiness of individuals above all but they frequently indulge in narrow minded prejudices ,this is really unfortunate but change is taking its place gradually!

  4. Nice display of what an unbiased mind can think of....And also in my point of view any system (cast/marriage etc.) created by our ancestors was for their time and era....it’s not necessary that society needs or demands same thing even after thousands of years. What is society it is people like us who make a society..So we have all the rights to change it for our goods.
