kiran: There is no caste system in Hinduism, but only VARNA system per our ancient Hindu scriptures. VARNA means occupations only. The roles played by people thru many vocations or jobs that they hold to make a living.
I hope this is clear to you now.
It is mostly a matter of compatiblity issue/s that a high Varna person may not marry someone from a lower varna. It is there even in USA TODAY!
John Ashcraft, our Attorney general for USA (dept of justice) will not date or marry someone who is a dalit, a pooper-scooper from say who lives in India or even here! Why? That honorable attorney G has nothing in common w a janitor who does menial work of cleaning toilets or sweeping and cleaning or changing hospital bed pans! He is in BRAHMIN VARNA, whereby he interprets the laws and make sure everyone is treated in a Justful way w full justice and liberty for all in USA of today! (Though prisoners in Guantanamobay are exceptions to his justice dept rules...LOL:)
NOw tell me, if you are a professor or a research scholar in a high University w jazz music, golf playing, swinging w other people, art and painting of picasso lover, etc....will you even date or look at me over here, ( I am assuming we both are of the opposite genders and single just for pretend examples only) who is a USA DALIT, a pooper scooper of disabled kid? I do that for free and voluntarily every single day!
Hows that?
Please reply. IN Reality, I am a mother of two kids who lives in USA and has been a devout hindu for the past 25 years now. I just want to make sure you remember this. LOL:)
BTW, are you a man or a woman? It is hard to tell by the name for me. Forgive my ignorance here...hahaha
Honestly, I don't care about the caste system. I just wanted to know how other Hindus feel about it. I dated a Hindu of a lower caste for a few months. We broke up, not because of the caste issue but because of our own differences. I think my dad would have a problem if I married a non-Brahmin though. I mean he wouldn't object to the marriage, but he wouldn't be 100% content with the whole idea. Oh well who cares. Thanks for your feedback. Oh to abchinduz, I'm a 21 year old female living in Toronto.
