Welcome to the caste country.As people across the urban-rural divide life the traditional culture recedes and those who want to uphold it feel threatened. At 22,there were two worlds that Nirupam Pathak had to grapple with.One was the world of a young journalist while the other was that of a girl who belonged to a Brahman family that had zero tolerance towards her Kshatriya boyfriend Priya Bhansu Ranjan.She was found dead,killed under mysterious circumstances at her home.Another is that of MANOJ and BABLI who lost their lives at Karora village in Haryana,their fault was they had dared to defy the community's marriage code by marrying in the same GOTRA.(Source : India Today)
Friend's just imagine in what a culture we are brought up? There have been challenges to the caste system from the time of Buddha, and from the time of Mahavira (Jaina founder) and (still earlier) of Gosāla Maskarin (Ājīvika founder). When will such curse disappear from the society?
