[makki]

makkale,

 

சாதி பற்றி அம்பேத்கர் 

ஒரு பெரிய கலாச்சார பிரிவை கட்டி இருப்பதே சாதி.

சாதி ஓர் அடைக்கப்பட்ட வர்க்கம்.
அகமணமே  சாதிக்கு உரிய தனி குணாம்சம்.

 

let's we start discussion,

 

My part I have raised some question

 

1.How long we understood the impact of intra caste marriage?

2.Why our society doesn't encouraging inter caste marriage?

3.Is inter caste marriage only solve our caste discrimination?

Intra caste marriage is the very intelligent way of keeping the caste system alive. When we see the history of caste , its because of intra caste marriage only the people in that caste kept among themselves and they never wanted to mingle with other caste people. So they may inhabit the feeling that caste is supreme way to show cast them as them superior then other people in society.

At the same time other than intra caste marriage. There is one more thing which keep the caste system very much alive i.e...Defining caste in terms of occupation. So when you are at one caste, you will be doing only one occupation of your caste to keep up the livelyhood. Because of this you dont find a way to mingle with people in much border way. This create a fear of living i.e when you leave the occupation which your caste is doing, you dont find any other ways to live. Because people from one caste never easily teach the occupation in which they are well versed to the people in other caste. Also people have been branded to do that caste occupation before they born. So this leaves them no option of trying different things.

 Here self freedom of choosing our own rights doesnt exist. Now a days this barrier of surviving with the  occupation of your caste breaking apart, its a good thing that happens. But it exist in some other way. Still we have been pushed to do things that we wont be willing to do in the name of education and family system. 

Family system is another thing which keeps the caste system alive. So Inter caste marriage alone wont be the solution to break caste system. Its a contributor towards the caste free society. Still family, self freedom, work environment all this things have to contribute to break the caste system.

Not only economical reason.Most of people doing different occupation other than the thier own occupation(by manu dharmam).But those people also considering caste during their marriage.In cities apart from status also considering caste.which is behind it?blind believe or dominating mentallity.other than domination/blind believe their is any factor to consider caste?I get confused.

With regards,

The reason why even the younger generation chose to get married in the same caste are social pressure, social security(family backup), property.

I think we have to consider dominating factors and manu dharma whenever talking about intra caste marriage 
other than social security and properties.because all of those people consider not only social security and properties.and I have an doubt why those people give socially pressure to youngers during inter caste marriage?
