hindus in india caste divided. they inherit low/high cates by birth. the old varna sustem is beneficial to the upper crust of the society and they resist any change. marriages are restricted within caste, that is a brahmin boy can marry a brahmin girl only. inter castes marrisges are looked down upon. there are many hidden factors . but isn't it biologically wrong to confined to intracaste marriages. is it the reason indian hindus are becoming physically weaker and shorter?

While intercaste marriages should be encouraged and are also on the increase now,it is not correct to say that intra caste marriages are biologically wrong.I am myself six inches taller than my father,and my son is eight inches taller than me.Only when married between close blood related people there is the possibility,even which they mostly avoid.
If only the education level increases every thing will fall in place.After all the caste system itself is not wrong.Only the discrimination should go.
Please note that it is easier and safer to find a successful match from about a few lakh people than from three billion people in arranged marriages.

i do no longer think of everyone can actually factor palms at everyone else in this subject rely. Why are there wealthy elites right here in the U.S. whilst different persons listed below are selecting food out of dumpsters and rubbish cans??? in very almost each and every united states of america on earth, there's a "caste device" of types. often times you are able to nevertheless trancend their type and circulate up, even nonetheless that is definitely puzzling to do, and happens very hardly. that is why real "rags to riches" memories, as time-honored as they may well be, are prominently featured in headlines - they're fairly uncommon occurances. maximum folk stay in the social and financial type they have been born into. there's a lot that stands waiting to knock you down in case you attempt. which comprise the resentment and envy of your friends and/or co-workers who might resent the success they might see you taking area in.

According to the research, married couples'
assessment of the quality of their marriage starts
to sink rapidly just after the "I do" and
continues downward through the first four years.
http://www.divorcereform.org/mel/aqualityofmarr.html
His surveys of over 500 couples have revealed that
most married couples experience a gradual but
steady decline in marital quality over the
four-year period after they tie the knot.

Pothole # 4: The Seven-Year Itch Experts observe
that this phase is often characterized by feelings

What is the secret of arranged Indian marraiges?
What makes most of them last a life time?

"Runa anubandha rupenam pasu patni suta aalaya" as
the sloka says. The members of the family are
related to each other through several births. The
Hindu Sastra dictum "Janma janma bandham" also
indicates the same thing. This family sentiment is
the life thread of Hindutwa.
Elders can recognize the soulmate relationship.

Not at all. Caste has nothing at all to do with the biological outcome of marriage. I do not at all support the caste system. It is like racism to a degree.

I thought the caste system was about socio-economic status, not biological intertwining. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you sound like you're talking about incest. Now that has taken place amongst monarchies in Europe and Russia (when it was Russia) for ages. I don't know about incest in India though...

no, i think hinduism would be just fine with intercaste marriages.
caste-only marriages are a thing of the past.
it is time to move beyond.
inter-caste marriages are fine.
