Is it true that Indians who marry outside of their caste get ostracized by their families?

Depends on you and your partners social strata. If both are of same social strata shouldn't be a problem

Yes. My Mother still shittalks other women to her friends on phone whose daughters married outside their group. “Oh, Subhadra, did you know Avanti’s daughter married a Christian/Muslim/Other Caste? Tragic. Kids these days don’t understand purity of blood.” Blah blah it’s tiring hearing that shit 4 hours on the phone
Jeremiah Allen
why are brahmins higher than kshatriyas?

In Indo-Aryan society Brahmins formed the council (Panchayat) which was superior to the King (Rajan). The Brahmins were keepers of hymns and sacred texts and were the philosopher/scholarly class. The King/Army couldn’t act without the order of the Panchayat.
Jace Hill
More emphasis placed on record-keeping and learning than brute force military prowess in a lot of settled cultures. Same reason why scholar-bureaucrats were more respected than warriors in dynastic China
Matthew Jackson
Dalits.
Matthew Brown
yeah ok. That woman is literally jobless. I cook the food these days too.

Brahmins weren’t some enlightened scholarly force lmao. They were like Jews. In fact, they would literally order the soldiers cut the tongue of a commoner who tried to speak Sanskrit, because it was such grave sin for a non-Aryan to utter Sanskrit words that would warrant death penalty.
That’s why Bvddha stopped preaching in Sanskrit even though he was Kshatriya. He preached in Magadhi and the texts were written in Prakrit.
Nicholas Gray
>dalitoid in his neo-Buddhist spree forgets Brahmin converts to Buddhism were the ones who wrote down all the texts

I don't understand this. So when an indian person meets someone outside they inform them which caste they are in and if they don't match they stop talking?
Owen Roberts
The more I learn about Indians, the more I pity them
Gabriel Russell
Every clan has its own matrimonial service. People go there and meet people from their community. That’s how arranged marriages happen.
Kevin Lewis
Does the idea of marrying within your own community not exist in the West?
Aaron Sanders
While I agree Brahmins had some historically bad practices and definitely had a few bad apples - and that dumb bimaru Brahmin bhakts shouldn't be around - Brahmins were literally the driving force for Indian bureaucracy, religion, and record-keeping for centuries across India
Anthony Powell
That's really only for arranged marriages. Outside of arranged marriages, nobody cares about caste in my experience
Jaxon Taylor
only the amish do it
Kevin James
And Muslims.

It probably still happens in some parts of India but most Indians outside of India don't seem to give a shit and a lot will even marry non-Indians.
Parker Gonzalez
Some survey had it 96% of marriages in India are within their respective communities, and this is despite government literally paying people to marry outside their community to “cosmopolitianise”.
Jace Young
Interracial marriages still aren't that common

The highest caste is actually jatt, ((((they)))) don’t want you to know
Thomas Ramirez
Sorry if the question is stupid, but can't you just move to another city and fake being part of a higher caste?
Owen Baker
Why would you do that? People literally pay to do the reverse. That’s how you get admissions in good universities without studying. Although if you get caught (and people do) you’re gonna face the court and your entire career is ruined.
Adrian Garcia
oh okay. Thanks for the answer, I guess I stll don't understand the whole dynamic
Josiah Rogers
Marrying within a racial or religious group, sure, but that doesn't seem to be the case with castes. To us, castes seem completely arbitrary, and therefore weird.

That's fucking amazing, I would have never thought of caste affirmative action
Hunter Gonzalez
“Caste” is literally your community though. Like it’s your tribe/clan.
Eli Sanchez
Like Anglo-Saxons would be a caste, Celtics would be a caste, Normans would be a case

William Turner
In my experience, indians that complain about caste affirmative action have always been indiacels.
Levi Green
Are you expected to only hang out with others of your tribe? Do people still hate Dalits?
This is really neat. We obviously have affirmative action for races, but I never considered it for castes. In America, you can give out your racial info, but you can't ask for it, so people sometimes claim to be part native american to get into colleges.
